May your well-ordered offerings prosper, Agni, and bestow all riches. By the fame of songs and listening averse, may we approach the gods with devotion and obtain protection.
Approaching you, benevolent Agni, and performing all holy acts that are the cause of opulence, offering oblations with earnestness and in abundance, may we overcome the hostile hosts that are without gods.
May we, O Agni, thou who leadest wisely, thy followers and masters of all treasures, Strong in the glory of our noble offspring, subdue the godless when they seek the battle.
