I regard Agni as the ancestral Agni, as the brother Agni, the friend of the householder. Near Agni, the great and bright, the heavens have worshipped the sun.

I regard Agni as a father, as a kinsman, as a brother, as a constant friend. I reverence the face of themighty Agni, radiant in heaven, adorable as the sun.

Agni I deem my Kinsman and my Father, count him my Brother and my Friend for ever.
