वि वातजूतो अतसेषु तिष्ठते वृथा जुहूभिः सृण्या तुविष्वणिः । तृषु यद् अग्ने वनिनो वृषायसे कृष्णं त एम रुशदूर्मे अजर ॥
vi vātajūto ataseṣu tiṣṭhate vṛthā juhūbhiḥ sṛṇyā tuviṣvaṇiḥ | tṛṣu yad agne vanino vṛṣāyase kṛṣṇaṃ ta ema ruśadūrme ajara ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Urged by the wind be spreads through dry wood as he lists, armed with his tongues for sickles, with a mighty roar. Black is thy path, Agni, changeless, with glittering waves! when like a bull thou rushest eager to the trees.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
