Agni grants the swift, victorious chariot: Agni, the hero famed and steadfast in duty. Agni permeates and adorns the earth and sky, and fills the fertile land that thrives with warriors.
May the forest feed the active Agni: within the two great realms has Agni entered. Agni drives a single man into battle, and with him shatters many a foe.
Agni cheered the chariot of the one who praised me, and from the waters burned away Jaratkaru. Agni saved Atri in the fiery cave, and made Nrmadha rich with her troop of children.
Agni bestowed wealth that adorns the hero, and sent the sage who wins a thousand cattle. Agni made offerings rise to heaven: to every place are Agni’s laws extended.
With songs of praise the Rishis call on Agni; on Agni, heroes vanquished in battle. Birds flying in the region call on Agni around a thousand cattle; Agni wanders.
Races of human birth worship Agni, men who sprang from Nahusa’s line adore him. Established in holy oil is Agni’s pasture, on the Gandharva path of Law and Order.
The Rbhus crafted prayer for Agni, and we with mighty hymns have called on Agni. Agni, Most Youthful God, protect the singer: win us by worship, Agni, great possessions.
