Hear, O Agni, the call borne by speech and ear by the gods and let them sit in the hymn. May Mitra and Aryaman take their seats with the morning-steers at the oblation.

Agni, with sharp ears, hear me; let Mitra and Aryaman, and Aryaman, and (other) early-stirring deities, with all the accompanying oblation-bearing gods, sit down at the sacrifice upon the sacred grass.

Heat-, Agni, who hast ears to hear, with all thy train of escort Gods; Let Mitra, Aryaman,- seeking betimes our rite, seat them upon the sacred grass.
