By what great banner does Agni, like morning light, go forth? The bull roars, the dawns like a herd advance; above, the likenesses rise, the waters increased the mighty beast.
Agni traverses heaven and earth with a vast banner; he roars (like) a bull; he spreads aloft over theremote and proximate (regions) of the sky; mighty, he increases in the lap of the water.
AGNI advances with his lofty banner: the Bull is bellowing to the earth and heavens. He hath attained the sky's supremest limits. the Steer hath waxen in the lap of waters.
