वै॒श्वा॒न॒रस्य॑ दं॒सना॑भ्यो बृ॒हदरि॑णा॒देकः॑ स्वप॒स्यया॑ क॒विः । उ॒भा पि॒तरा॑ म॒हय॑न्नजायता॒ग्निर्द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी भूरि॑रेतसा
vaiśvānarasya daṃsanābhyo bṛhadariṇādekaḥ svapasyayā kaviḥ ubhā pitarā mahayannajāyatāgnirdyāvāpṛthivī bhūriretasā
From Vishvanara's fanged mouths one wide‑eating being, the seer by his wakefulness, appeared as the one who sees by dream‑vision. Both parents magnified him; Agni was born — the heavens and earth became vast by such order.
From acts that are acceptable to Vaiśvānara comes great (wealth); for he, the sage (Agni) alone, bestows (the reward) of zeal in (the performance of) his worship; adoring both his prolific friends, heaven and earth, Agni was born.
By his great skill the Sage alone hath brought to pass a great deed, mightier than Vaisvanara's wondrous acts. Agni sprang into being, magnifying both his Parents, Heaven and Earth, rich in prolific seed.
