Not scorched, not to be scorched, O Agni, protect us with auspicious waters; guard us with shieldings not foiled, with uninjured, unbroken protections, defend our births.

Agni, never heedless (of us), guard us with never heedless, auspicious, and joy-bestowing cares; do you, who are desired (by all), protect us, and those born of us, with unobstructed unovercome, and never slumbering (vigilance).

Keep us incessantly with guards that cease not, Agni, with guards auspicious, very mighty. With guards that never slumber, never heedless, never beguiled. O Helper, keep our children.
