अग्ने॒ त्वचं॑ यातु॒धान॑स्य भिन्धि हिं॒स्राशनि॒र्हर॑सा हन्त्वेनम् । प्र पर्वा॑णि जातवेदः शृणीहि क्र॒व्यात्क्र॑वि॒ष्णुर्वि चि॑नोतु वृ॒क्णम्
agne tvacaṃ yātudhānasya bhindhi hiṃsrāśanirharasā hantvenam pra parvāṇi jātavedaḥ śaṛṇīhi kravyātkraviṣṇurvi cinotu vṛkṇam
Agni, rend the skin of the offering, strike the fierce bolt, slay with joyous might; Jātavedas, sound the rows, call the kine, let the bull break the bands and overcome the wolf.
Agni Jātavedas, cut through the skin of the yātudhānas, let your destructive thunderbolt destroyhim with its fire; sever his joints, may the flesh-desiring flesh-eater devour his mutilated body.
Pierce through the Yatudhana's skin, O Agni; let the destroying dart with fire consume him. Rend his joints, Jatavedas, let the cater of flesh, flesh-seeking, track his mangled body.
