The knower of births (Jātavedas) upholds the world’s summit, O Agni, together with splendour. We invoke you with minds, with words and hymns; by these rites you became the sacrificer, O radiant one.

Inasmuch as you abide, Agni Jātavedas, on the brow of the universe, together with the sun, we havecome to you with praises, with hymns, with prayers; you are adorable, the satisfier of heaven and earth.

Because thou, Agni, Jatavedas, stoodest at the world's head with thy refulgent splendour, We sent thee forth with hymns and songs and praises: thou filledst heaven and earth, God meet for worship.
