I acclaim with my famed words the Lord of awe who rules over the fearful ones; by the fires I invoked all the shining ones, I called the youthful splendid one, the lord of men beneath.

We glorify with praises Agni, the self-famous, who dwells among these fearless beings; we praise theirresistible Aditi, together with all the wives (of the gods); we praise the young (lord) of night (the moon), wepraise the friend of man (the sun), we praise (Indra) the lord (of all).

With hymns of praise we sing him who is throned as Lord over these fearless tribes, the Self-resplendent One. We praise Night's youthful Lord benevolent to men, the foeless One, the free, with all celestial Dames.
