The gods set me as havya-bearer, unbound, roaming through many hardships. Agni, the knower, fashioned for us the sacrificial rite: the fivefold, the threefold, the sevenfold string of sacred grass.

The gods have made me the bearer of oblations returning after departure, and passing many difficultplaces; (saying) this Agni is wise; he will accomplish the sacrifice for us, whether it be that of the five ways, thethree kinds, or the seven threads.

The Gods have made me bearer of oblations, who slipped away and passed through many troubles. Wise Agni shall ordain for us the worship, whether five-wayed, threefold, or seven-threaded.
