As if a precious treasure Mātarisvan brought, as a gift, the glorious Priest to Bhṛgu, Banner of sacrifice, the good Protector, child of two births, the swiftly moving envoy.
Both gods and men obey this Ruler's order, gods who are worshipped, men who yearn and worship. As Priest he takes his seat before dawn, House-Lord, adorable with men, Ordainer.
May our fair praise, born of the heart, most recent, reach him whose tongue, even at his birth, is sweet as honey; Whom mortal priests, men, with their strong effort, supplied with fine food, have created.
Good to mankind, the yearning Purifier has among men been placed as worthy Priest. May Agni be our friend, Lord of the household, protector of the wealth in the home.
As such we Gotamas with hymns extol thee, O Agni, as the guardian Lord of wealth, Decking thee like a horse, the swift winner. May he, enriched with prayer, come soon and early.
