Well churned, well beaten down, laid low, the poet is set. Agni, make the offerings' doors; create the gods, proclaim the godlike rites to be performed.

Agni, who is pronounced by reverential attrition, and deposited with reverential care, and who are far-seeing, render our rites (exempt from defects), and worship the gods (on behalf) of the devout worshipper.

With strong attrition rubbed to life, laid down with careful hand, a Sage, Agni, make sacrifices good, and for the pious bring the Gods.
