With hosts, O Agni, with hosts among men, valiant ones, we followed you. May the lordly ones of the paternal estate, the radiant rulers, protect us a hundredfold with strength.
Defended, Agni, by you, may we destroy the horses (of your enemies) by (our) horses, their men by (our) men, their sons by (our) sons, and may our sons, learned and inheritors of ancestral wealth, live for a hundred winters.
Aided by thee, O Agni, may we conquer steeds with steeds, men with men, heroes with heroes, Lords of the wealth transmitted by our fathers: and may our princes live a hundred winters.
