1

He has sent out, bright and radiant, like the lover of dawn, his far-reaching light. Pure in his glory shines the golden hero; he has stirred up our longing thoughts.

2

Like the sun, he shone as dawn breaks, and priests sing praises while weaving the sacrifice, Agni, the god, who knows their generations and visits gods, most generous, swift messenger.

3

Our songs and holy hymns go to Agni, seeking the god and asking for wealth, One who is fair to see, with a goodly face, mighty, the bearer of offerings for men.

4

With the Vasus, Agni, bring Indra, bring mighty Rudra with the Rudras, Aditi, good to all men, with Ādityas, Bṛhaspati, All-bounteous, with the singers.

5

Men eagerly seek Agni at sacrifices, the Youngest God, the joyful herald. For he is lord and ruler over wealth, and an unwearying envoy for gods' worship.
