त्वाम॑ग्न आदि॒त्यास॑ आ॒स्यं१॒॑ त्वां जि॒ह्वां शुच॑यश्चक्रिरे कवे । त्वां रा॑ति॒षाचो॑ अध्व॒रेषु॑ सश्चिरे॒ त्वे दे॒वा ह॒विर॑द॒न्त्याहु॑तम्
tvāmagna ādityāsa āsyaṃ1 tvāṃ jihvāṃ śucayaścakrire kave tvāṃ rātiṣāco adhvareṣu saścire tve devā haviradantyāhutam
You, Agni, and the Sun — you were placed here; you, O tongue, purified, the poets made pure. You, beloved ones, even in the chariots of the swift, long-lasting, the gods have called you offered at the end with oblations.
The Ādityas have made you, Agni, their mouth; the pure (deities) have made you, Kavi, their tongue; the (gods), the givers of wealth, depdn upon you at sacrifices; they eat the offered oblation through you.
Thee, Agni, have the Adityas taken as their mouth; the Bright Ones have made thee, O Sage, to be their tongue. They who love offerings cling to thee at solemn rites: by thee the Gods devour the duly offered food.
