Who approached with the most excellent mind, O Agni, bestower upon the worlds? What understanding? Who around the sacrificer is competent with rites, and by whom shall we subdue thee in mind?
What approximation of the mind, Agni, to you, can be accomplished for our good; what can a hundred encomiums (effect); who, by sacrifices has obtained your might; with what intent may we offer you (oblations)?
How may the mind draw nigh to please thee, Agni? What hymn of praise shall bring us greatest blessing? Or who hath gained thy power by sacrifices? or with what mind shall we bring thee oblations?
