O Savitṛ and Ushas, like the twins of light you established Agni among the dwellings. Kanva, son of Sutasoṃ, you kindle the oblation-bearing priest at the sacred threshold.

Object of holy rites, (bring hither) on the dawn following the night, Savitā, Uṣas and Aśvins, Bhaga and Agni; the Kaṇvas pouring out libations, kindle the water of the burnt offering.

At dawn of day, at night, Usas and Savitar, the Asvins, Bhaga, Agni's self: Skilled in fair rites, with Soma poured, the Kanvas light thee, the oblation-wafting God.
