O Agni, burn away that darkness and bring back what was taken; let the concealing plants sprout and the cooking herbs grow up for the offering.

Cool again, Agni, the spot which you have burned, there let the water- lily grow, and the ripe Durvawith its many stalks.

Cool, Agni, and again refresh the spot which thou hast scorched and burnt. Here let the water-lily grow, and tender grass and leafy herb.
