Agni is not by brilliance alone, nor the wind by chest of gold; sudden risings do not make one joined. The wise, elder men of right conduct, not Soma, have kept the ritual.

(You) who like Agni (are endowed) with splendour, who have golden ornaments upon your breasts,who like the winds (are) self-yoked, swift-moving, who like the extremely wise (are) venerable and able guides,and like the Soma the giver of delight, (do you com) to the (worshipper) going to the sacrifice.

Like fire with flashing flame, breast-bound with chains of gold, like tempest-blasts, self-moving, swift to lend your aid; As best of all foreknowers, excellent to guide, like Somas, good to guard the man who follows Law.
