एतं ते स्तोमं तुविजात विप्रो रथं न धीरः स्वपा अतक्षम् । यदीद् अग्ने प्रति त्वं देव हर्याः स्वर्वतीर् अप एना जयेम ॥
etaṃ te stomaṃ tuvijāta vipro rathaṃ na dhīraḥ svapā atakṣam | yadīd agne prati tvaṃ deva haryāḥ svarvatīr apa enā jayema ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As a skilled craftsman makes a car, a singer I, Mighty One! this hymn for thee have fashioned. If thou, O Agni, God, accept it gladly, may we obtain thereby the heavenly Waters.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
