Agni is the father of sacrifices, the lord of the wise, the aerial one in his car and the bearer of speech. He entered the tearful realms with abundant radiance; the poet rejoices, pressing the beloved abodes with halls.
The parent of sacrifices, the invigorator of the wise, the end (of the rite), the instrumental uction of the priests, Agni, who has pervaded heaven and earth in many forms, the friend of man, wise, (and endowed) with splendours, is glorified (by the worshipper).
The Sire of sacrifice, great God of holy bards, Agni, the measure and the symbol of the priests, Hath entered heaven and earth that show in varied form: the Sage whom many love rejoiceth in his might.
