इमाम् मे अग्ने समिधम् इमाम् उपसदं वनेः । इमा उ षु श्रुधी गिरः ॥
imām me agne samidham imām upasadaṃ vaneḥ | imā u ṣu śrudhī giraḥ ||
Agni, accept this flaming brand, this waiting with my prayer on thee: Hear graciously these songs of praise.

अया ते अग्ने विधेमोर्जो नपाद् अश्वमिष्टे । एना सूक्तेन सुजात ॥
ayā te agne vidhemorjo napād aśvamiṣṭe | enā sūktena sujāta ||
With this hymn let us honour thee, seeker of horses, Son of Strength, With this fair hymn, thou nobly born.

तं त्वा गीर्भिर् गिर्वणसं द्रविणस्युं द्रविणोदः । सपर्येम सपर्यवः ॥
taṃ tvā gīrbhir girvaṇasaṃ draviṇasyuṃ draviṇodaḥ | saparyema saparyavaḥ ||
As such, lover of song, with songs, wealth-lover, giver of our wealth! With reverence let us worship thee.

स बोधि सूरिर् मघवा वसुपते वसुदावन् । युयोध्य् अस्मद् द्वेषांसि ॥
sa bodhi sūrir maghavā vasupate vasudāvan | yuyodhy asmad dveṣāṃsi ||
Be thou for us a liberal Prince, giver and Lord of precious things. Drive those who hate us far away.

स नो वृष्टिं दिवस् परि स नो वाजम् अनर्वाणम् । स नः सहस्रिणीर् इषः ॥
sa no vṛṣṭiṃ divas pari sa no vājam anarvāṇam | sa naḥ sahasriṇīr iṣaḥ ||
Such as thou art, give rain from heaven, give strength which no man may resist: Give food exceeding plentiful.

ईळानायावस्यवे यविष्ठ दूत नो गिरा । यजिष्ठ होतर् आ गहि ॥
īḷānāyāvasyave yaviṣṭha dūta no girā | yajiṣṭha hotar ā gahi ||
To him who lauds thee, craving help, most youthful envoy! through our song, Most holy Herald! come thou nigh.

अन्तर् ह्य् अग्न ईयसे विद्वाञ् जन्मोभया कवे । दूतो जन्येव मित्र्यः ॥
antar hy agna īyase vidvāñ janmobhayā kave | dūto janyeva mitryaḥ ||
Between both races, Agni, Sage, well skilled thou passest to and fro, As envoy friendly to mankind.

स विद्वां आ च पिप्रयो यक्षि चिकित्व आनुषक् । आ चास्मिन् सत्सि बर्हिषि ॥
sa vidvāṃ ā ca piprayo yakṣi cikitva ānuṣak | ā cāsmin satsi barhiṣi ||
Befriend us thou as knowing all. Sage, duly worship thou the Gods, And seat thee on this sacred grass.
