He is the splendor and dust of the world's sacrifice, the leader where the rites are appointed with benevolent ones. On high he placed the head, and Agni fashioned the oblation-bearer with his tongue.

You are the leader of the sacrifice and sacrificial water to the plural ce in which you are associated withthe auspicious steeds of the wind; you sustain the all-enjoying (sun) as chief in heaven; you, Agni, make yourtongue the bearer of the oblation.

Thou art the Leader of the rite and region, to which with thine auspicious teams thou teadest, Thy light-bestowing head to heaven thou liftest, making thy tongue the oblationbearer, Agni.
