The pious are they who present, as a gift, to the reciters of your praises, an excellent cow and an elegant horse; do you, Agni, lead us and them to the best of abodes, (or heaven), that we and our worthy descendants may repeat the solemn prayer to you at the sacrifice.
The princely worshippers who send to those who sing thy praise, O Agni, guerdon, graced with kine and steeds,- Lead thou both these and us forward to higher bliss. With brave men in the assembly may we speak aloud.
