Sanskrit Original
स॒नाद॑ग्ने मृणसि यातु॒धाना॒न्न त्वा॒ रक्षां॑सि॒ पृत॑नासु जिग्युः । अनु॑ दह स॒हमू॑रान्क्र॒व्यादो॒ मा ते॑ हे॒त्या मु॑क्षत॒ दैव्या॑याः
sanādagne mṛṇasi yātudhānānna tvā rakṣāṃsi pṛtanāsu jigyuḥ anu daha sahamūrānkravyādo mā te hetyā mukṣata daivyāyāḥ
Come near, Agni, let the wealth go to the hostile bands; do not destroy us among the crowd. Burn up the foolish speakers; free us from harmful fate by divine means.
You, Agni, have from old time opposed the Yātudhāna; the rākṣasas have never overcome you inbattles; burn murderous flesh-eating (rākṣasas) one by one; let them not escape your divine weapon
Agni, from days of old thou slayest demons: never shall Raksasas in fight o'ercome thee. Burn up the foolish ones, the flesh-devourers: let none of them escape thine heavenly arrow.
