May the ancestral mothers be purified for us; the pure, nonviolent earth has grown. As before the younger ones advanced, the ancient ones rose; the swift ones run in the new-preserved places.

Therefore has the brilliant Agni entered the maternal (quarters of space), amidst which pure, and unharmed, he had evolved into magnitude, so that he mounted (the bushes) plural ced before him, as he had (consumed others) prior to them, and runs rapidly among the more recent and inferior branches.

Then also entered he the Mothers, and in them pure and uninjured he increased in magnitude. As to the first he rose, the vigorous from of old, so now he runs among the younger lowest ones.
