1

Agni, life and glory are yours; your flames burn brightly, you are rich in radiant beams! Sage, shining bright, you give to the worshipper, with strength, the food that deserves praise.

2

With brilliant, purifying shine, with perfect shine you lift yourself in light. You visit both your Mothers, as a son, you join the earth and sky together.

3

O Jātavedas, Son of Strength, rejoice in our fair hymns and songs. In you are stored various forms of nourishment, born noble and of great help.

4

Agni, spread forth, as Ruler, over living things: give wealth to us, Immortal God. You shine from a fair sight to behold: you lead us to victorious power.

5

To him, the wise, who orders sacrifice, who has great riches under his control, You give blessed reward of good, and plentiful food, give him wealth that conquers all.

6

The men have set before them for their welfare Agni, strong, visible to all, the Holy. You, Godlike One, with ears to hear, men’s generations magnify with praise-songs.
