English:- Agni, save us by the first voice, and by the second, by three voices, and, O lord of cosmic power, ultimate haven and home of existence, save and promote us by the four. (Rigved 8-60-9)

Another way to understand: One, two, three or all the four Veda's voice. Yet another: voice of the soul in the rising sequence of the four matras of Aum as described in the Upanishads. And then the four stages of language in the descending order from divine to the human: Para, pashyanti, madhyama and Vaikhari)
