Men have recourse to you, Agni, youngest (of the gods), as cattle hasten to the warm stall. You arethe messenger of the gods and of mortals; mighty, you proceed by the firmament between (heaven and earth). sustains you. You come, eager from above the firmament, by a downward path, and when released (after theoblation is offered), you desire to go back like cattle (to their stall).

Thou unto whom resort the gathered people, as the kine seek the warm stall, O Most Youthful. Thou art the messenger of Gods and mortals, and goest glorious with thy light between them.
