O Agni, come here, be present, seat yourself to our front; descend, O radiance, you born of the people. Protect the world’s order; we invoke you with sacrifice and propitiate the gods with Soma.
Come, Agni, hither; invoker (of the gods), sit down; be our preceder; for you are irresistible; may the all-expansive heaven and earth defend you, that you may worship the gods to their great satisfaction.
Come hither, Agni; sit thee down as Hotar; be thou who never wast deceived our leader. May Heaven and Earth, the all-pervading, love thee: worship the Gods to win for us their favour.
