यान्रा॒ये मर्ता॒न्सुषू॑दो अग्ने॒ ते स्या॑म म॒घवा॑नो व॒यं च॑ । छा॒येव॒ विश्वं॒ भुव॑नं सिसक्ष्यापप्रि॒वान्रोद॑सी अ॒न्तरि॑क्षम्
yānrāye martānsuṣūdo agne te syāma maghavāno vayaṃ ca chāyeva viśvaṃ bhuvanaṃ sisakṣyāpaprivānrodasī antarikṣam
O Agni, may we be among those mortals who walk to the realm; may we be wealthy, we and our company. As a shadow the whole world and the terrestrial sphere shall bear witness within the mid-air.
May we, mortals, whom you have directed (to the performance of sacrifices) for the sake of riches, become opulent; filling heaven and earth, and the firmament (with your radiance), you protect the whole world like a (sheltering) shade.
May we and those who worship be the mortals whom thou, O Agni, leadest on to riches. Thou hast filled earth and heaven and air's mid-region, and followest the whole world like a shadow.
