O Agni, protect us with thy glorious waters and the foam of thy kindling; grant strength and be worshipped. Be guardian of the calf, protector of the kine’s sightless one; guarding these, uphold thy vow.
Agni, who are worthy to be praised, preserve us who are opulent with your bounties, and also the person ns (of our sons); you are the defender of cattle for the son of my son, who is ever assiduous in your worship.
Worthy to be revered, O Agni, God, preserve our wealthy patrons with thy succours, and ourselves. Guard of our seed art thou, aiding our cows to bear, incessantly protecting in thy holy way.
