त्वया॒ यथा॑ गृत्सम॒दासो॑ अग्ने॒ गुहा॑ व॒न्वन्त॒ उप॑राँ अ॒भि ष्युः । सु॒वीरा॑सो अभिमाति॒षाहः॒ स्मत्सू॒रिभ्यो॑ गृण॒ते तद्वयो॑ धाः
tvayā yathā gṛtsamadāso agne guhā vanvanta uparām̐ abhi ṣyuḥ suvīrāso abhimātiṣāhaḥ smatsūribhyo gṛṇate tadvayo dhāḥ
As you placed the gathered offerings, Agni, in the hollow of the wood, they rose up like the brave with eager hearts; from the wise seers the sun spoke that to you are these hymns.
By you, (Agni), may the Gṛtsamadas, repeating your praise, become masters of the precious secret (treasures); so that they may be possessed of excellent dependents, and be able to resist (their) enemies; and do you give to (your) pious worshippers and to him who glorifies (you), such (abundant) food.
May the Grtsamadas, serving in secret, through thee, O Agni, overcome their neighbours, Rich in good heroes and subduing foemen. That vital power give thou to chiefs and singers.
