Bring both jaws forward; fierce-toothed, O youthful lord, be the bulwark above and below. Go forth around the sky, O king, with roaring drops, bring the sacrificial fuel hither.

Agni, the destroyer (of the rākṣasas), who have two (rows of teeth), sharpening them both, applythem to (the rākṣasas, and preserve) both the upper and the lower (world); and march, radiant (Agni, againstthe rākṣasas) in the firmament, seize the yātudhānas with your jaws.

Apply thy teeth, the upper and the lower, thou who hast both, enkindled and destroying. Roam also in the air, O King, around us, and with thy jaws assail the wicked spirits.
