He asked him and went; he knows and heals, he is called and invoked. There stay the ministers, there the strong-established ones: the lord of the harness, the gentle ruler of the offerings.
Ask (of Agni what you desire), for he goes (everywhere), he knows (all things); possessed of intelligence, he proceeds (to ascertain what is to be done), and is had recourse to (by his worshippers); for in him is the power of restraining (unreasonable desires) in him (is the power of granting) enjoyment; he is the giver of food and of strength; the protector of the mighty.
Ask ye of him for he is come, he knoweth it; he, full of wisdom, is implored, is now implored. With him are admonitions and with him commands: he is the Lord of Strength, the Lord of Power and Might.
