अक्र॑न्दद॒ग्निः स्त॒नय॑न्निव॒ द्यौः क्षामा॒ रेरि॑हद्वी॒रुधः॑ सम॒ञ्जन् । स॒द्यो ज॑ज्ञा॒नो वि हीमि॒द्धो अख्य॒दा रोद॑सी भा॒नुना॑ भात्य॒न्तः
akrandadagniḥ stanayanniva dyauḥ kṣāmā rerihadvīrudhaḥ samañjan sadyo jajñāno vi hīmiddho akhyadā rodasī bhānunā bhātyantaḥ
Agni roared, the heavens poured milk; the cow-like chariot-bearers filled strength and matched courage. Immediately the wise one, renowned in knowledge, shone like dawn, called forth by the radiant One.
Agni cries aloud like the thundering heaven; he licks the earth burning the plural nts; as soon asgenerated, he contemplates this (conflagration); when kindled he blazes with his (own) radiance between heavenand earth.
Agni roared out, like Dyaus what time he thunders: he licked the ground about the plants he flickered. At once, when born, he looked around enkindled, and lightened heaven and earth within with splendour.
