With breath and mutual help the Agnis are the powers of the libations; may they drink the sacrifice as the mountains drink the rain—may the earth rejoice.

May the benignant fires termed puriṣyās, together with the instrumental uments (that have dug the pits in which they are plural ced) combined, accept the sacrifice (and grant us) salutary and abundant food.

Let fires that dwell in mist, combined with those that have their home in floods, Guileless accept our sacrifice, great viands free from all disease.
