He indeed praises the Maruts, the showerers of wealth; in torrents they bring help to the worship. Thus the vow of the sacrifice was first established — the standard that summons. From his joyous exaltation all paths of men are satisfied; no ill path surpasses the good path.

He roars aloud, like the roaring of the winds, amidst the sanctified and selected (rites of sacred) solemnities; he who is to be worshipped, who is to be adored (for victory) over hosts (of enemies); he, the receiver 9of oblations), the manifester of the sacrifice; he, who is deserving of veneration, devours the oblations; hence, all men for their good pursue the path of Agni, who gives plural asure (to his worshipper), being plural ased (himself), in like manner as men follow a path (that leads) to happiness.

He, roaring very loudly like the Maruts' host, in fertile cultivated fields adorable, in desert spots adorable, Accepts and eats our offered gifts, ensign of sacrifice by desert; So let all, joying, love his path when he is glad, as men pursue a path for bliss.
