वसुं न चित्रमहसं गृणीषे वामं शेवम् अतिथिम् अद्विषेण्यम् । स रासते शुरुधो विश्वधायसो ऽग्निर् होता गृहपतिः सुवीर्यम् ॥

I PRAISE the God of wondrous might like Indra, the lovely pleasant Guest whom all must welcome. May Agni, Priest and Master of the household, give hero strength and all-sustaining riches.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
जुषाणो अग्ने प्रति हर्य मे वचो विश्वानि विद्वान् वयुनानि सुक्रतो । घृतनिर्णिग् ब्रह्मणे गातुम् एरय तव देवा अजनयन्न् अनु व्रतम् ॥
juṣāṇo agne prati harya me vaco viśvāni vidvān vayunāni sukrato | ghṛtanirṇig brahmaṇe gātum eraya tava devā ajanayann anu vratam ||
O Agni, graciously accept this song of mine, thou passing-wise who knowest every ordinance. Enwrapped in holy oil further the course of prayer: the Gods bestow according to thy holy law.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सप्त धामानि परियन्न् अमर्त्यो दाशद् दाशुषे सुकृते मामहस्व । सुवीरेण रयिणाग्ने स्वाभुवा यस् त आनट् समिधा तं जुषस्व ॥

Immortal, wandering round the seven stations, give, a liberal Giver, to the pious worshipper, Wealth, Agni, with brave sons and ready for his use: welcome the man who comes with fuel unto thee.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यज्ञस्य केतुम् प्रथमम् पुरोहितं हविष्मन्त ईळते सप्त वाजिनम् । शृण्वन्तम् अग्निं घृतपृष्ठम् उक्षणम् पृणन्तं देवम् पृणते सुवीर्यम् ॥

The seven who bring oblations worship thee, the Strong, the first, the Great Chief Priest, Ensign of sacrifice, The oil-anointed Bull, Agni who hears, who sends as God full hero strength to him who freely gives.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं दूतः प्रथमो वरेण्यः स हूयमानो अमृताय मत्स्व । त्वाम् मर्जयन् मरुतो दाशुषो गृहे त्वां स्तोमेभिर् भृगवो वि रुरुचुः ॥

First messenger art thou, meet for election: drink thou thy fill invited to the Anirta, The Maruts in the votary's house adorned thee; with lauds the Bhrgus gave thee light and glory.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इषं दुहन् सुदुघां विश्वधायसं यज्ञप्रिये यजमानाय सुक्रतो । अग्ने घृतस्नुस् त्रिर् ऋतानि दीद्यद् वर्तिर् यज्ञम् परियन् सुक्रतूयसे ॥

Milking the teeming Cow for all-sustaining food. O Wise One, for the worship-loving worshipper, Thou, Agni, dropping oil, thrice lighting works of Law, showest thy wisdom circling home and sacrifice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वाम् इद् अस्या उषसो व्युष्टिषु दूतं कृण्वाना अयजन्त मानुषाः । त्वां देवा महयाय्याय वावृधुर् आज्यम् अग्ने निमृजन्तो अध्वरे ॥

They who at flushing of this dawn appointed thee their messenger, these men have paid thee reverence. Gods strengthened thee for work that must be glorified, Agni, while they made butter pure for sacrifice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नि त्वा वसिष्ठा अह्वन्त वाजिनं गृणन्तो अग्ने विदथेषु वेधसः । रायस् पोषं यजमानेषु धारय यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
