O Agni, men placed you within the waters and within the sea; the sky bore you upward. On the third (day) you stood in the dust; the herds approached you, increasing like buffaloes.
He who is well disposed towards men illumines the Agni in the ocean (as submarine fire), in the midstof the waters; the beholder of men (illumines) you in the centre of the sky; the mighty (maruts) magnify youabiding in the third region (the firmament), on the lap of the waters.
The Manly-souled lit thee in sea and waters, man's Viewer lit thee in the breast of heaven, There as thou stoodest in the third high region the Steers increased thee in the water's bosom.
