vātopadhūta iṣito vaśām̐ anu tṛṣu yadannā veviṣadvitiṣṭhase ā te yatante rathyo3 yathā pṛthakchardhāṃsyagne ajarāṇi dhakṣataḥ
The winds blow the fragrances along; you, abiding in thirst, stand where foods are poured. The chariots strive for you, as if each were separate, like the swift unfailing ones born of Agni's youthful might.
When, agitated by the wind and quickly moving through the beloved (trees), you spread aboutdevouring the food, the imperishable energies of you, Agni, the devourer, rush forth like charioteers.
When, sped and urged by wind, thou spreadest thee abroad, swift piercing through thy food according to thy will, Thy never-ceasing blazes, longing to consume, like men on chariots, Agni, strive on every side.
