May you, though not old, remain among the threefold hosts and stand untouched by decay. Too far does not please the back of him who is vigorous; the light of heaven did not withdraw nor fail him.
Undecaying Agni, combining his food (with his flame), and devouring it quickly, ascends the dry wood; the blaze of theconsuming (element) spreads like a (fleet) courser, and roars like a roaring (cloud) in the height of heaven.
Never decaying, seizing his appropriate food, rapidly, eagerly through the dry wood he spreads. His back, as he is sprinkled, glistens like a horse: loud hath he roared and shouted like the heights of heaven?
