यमे॑रि॒रे भृग॑वो वि॒श्ववे॑दसं॒ नाभा॑ पृथि॒व्या भुव॑नस्य म॒ज्मना॑ । अ॒ग्निं तं गी॒र्भिर्हि॑नुहि॒ स्व आ दमे॒ य एको॒ वस्वो॒ वरु॑णो॒ न राज॑ति
yamerire bhṛgavo viśvavedasaṃ nābhā pṛthivyā bhuvanasya majmanā agniṃ taṃ gīrbhirhinuhi sva ā dame ya eko vasvo varuṇo na rājati
When Bhṛgu and Viśvavedas measured him, he was the navel of the earth and of the world by that mass. The gods with songs invoked that Agni; he stayed, the sole lord like Varuṇa who does not fail.
Bring to his own abode with hymns that Agni, the possessor of all riches, whom the descendants of Bhṛgu plural ced by the strength of all beings upon the navel of the earth; for, like Varuṇa, he reigns sole (monarch) over (all) treasure.
Send thou with hymns that Agni to his own abode, who rules, one Sovran Lord of wealth, like Varuna, Him, All-possessor, whom the Bhrgus with their might brought to earth's central point, the centre of the world.
