पराग्नये विश्वशुचे धियन्धे.असुरघ्ने मन्म धीतिं भरध्वम |
भरे हविर्न बर्हिषि परीणानो वैश्वानराय यतये मतीनाम
English:- . BRING song and hymn to Agni, Asura-slayer, enlightener of all and thought-bestower.
Like an oblation on the grass, to please him, I bring this to Vaiśvānara, hymn-inspirer.

तवमग्ने शोचिषा शोशुचान आ रोदसी अप्र्णा जायमानः |
तवं देवानभिशस्तेरमुञ्चो वैस्वानर जातवेदो महित्वा
English:- Thou with thy flame, O Agni, brightly glowing, hast at thy birth filled full the earth and heaven.
TIOU with thy might, Vaiśvānara Jātavedas, settest the Gods free frodi the curse that bound them.

जातो यदग्ने भुवना वयख्यः पशून न गोपा इर्यः परिज्मा |
वैश्वानर बरह्मणे विन्द गातुं यूयं पात ...
English:- Agni, when, born thou lookedst on all creatures, like a brisk herdsman moving round his cattle.
The path to prayer, Vaiśvānara, thou foundest. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
