They who first won the great herd, the widespread wealth, presented the unwise as foolish; leading forth the womb of forests, minds, ignoble aretes, they bound the long-haired treasures.

Be competent, (priest, to glorify) the victorious mighty Agni, the sustainer of the wise, (even) fools(adore) him, the exempt from folly, the demolisher of cities; conducting the embryo of touchwood, (Agni). Like agolden- haired, swift-moving (horse), loving praise and wealth, they bring him to the sacrifice.

The foolish brought the ne'er-bewildered forward, great, Victor, Song-inspirer, Fort-destroyer. Leading the Youth gold-bearded, like a courser gleaming with wealth, they turned their hymn to profit.
