O mighty king, be thou propitious, Agni of wealth, with splendour of the swift heavens; may the fierce guardian protect and burn away foes.

Shining Agni, drive off (all disturbers of the rite), either by yourself or (your servants) whether by day or by night; sharp-visaged Agni, destroy the rākṣasas entirely.

O Agni, shining of thyself by night and when the morning breaks, Burn, thou whose teeth are sharp, against the Raksasas.
