The ghee-offering, emblem of law, adorns the steadfast Agni; Mitra is not bound by the fuel-assembly. Bring forth the flames in rites, bright-hued; may they bestow upon us intelligence.

The kindler (of the sacrificial fire) propitiates Agni, of glistening form; the upholder of your ceremony, like a friend; well kindled and well supplied (with fuel); blazing brightly at holy rites, he illumines our pure and pious observances.

The kindler of the flame wins Agni as a Friend, promoter of the Law, whose face is bright with oil. Inflamed and keen, refulgent in our gatherings, he lifts our hymn on high clad in his radiant hues.
