Having entered, it increases in the fair ones; rising above the hymns, their own fame stood forth. From the two Tvashṭṛs being born, the eastern lion was roused and rejoiced.
Appearing amongst them (the waters), the bright-shining (Agni) increases, rising above the flanks of the waving waters, spreading his own renown; both (heaven and earth) are alarmed, as the radiant Agni is born, and, approaching the lion, they pay him honour.
Visible, fair, he grows in native brightness uplifted in the lap of waving waters. When he was born both Tvastar's worlds were frightened: they turn to him and reverence the Lion.
