This Agni rises immortal from birth; with a thousandfold mind and steadfast friends the god lives for the living, having been invoked.

This Agni saves from peril caused by man as (well as) from peril caused by the immortals, a godstronger than strength, created for life-producing (sacrifice).

This Agni rescues from distress, as 'twere from the Immortal Race, A God yet mightier than strength, a God who hath been made for life.
