इळा॑मग्ने पुरु॒दंसं॑ स॒निं गोः श॑श्वत्त॒मं हव॑मानाय साध । स्यान्नः॑ सू॒नुस्तन॑यो वि॒जावाग्ने॒ सा ते॑ सुम॒तिर्भू॑त्व॒स्मे
iḷāmagne purudaṃsaṃ saniṃ goḥ śaśvattamaṃ havamānāya sādha syānnaḥ sūnustanayo vijāvāgne sā te sumatirbhūtvasme
O Agni, be the herd of men, the nourisher of cattle and best of kine for the sacrificer’s sake. May your son be vigorous, O Agni, grant me good counsel and be my protector.
Grant, Agni, to the offerer of the oblation the earth, the bestower of cattle, the means of many (pious rites); such that it may be perpetual; may there be to us sons and grandsons born in our race, and may your good-will ever be upon us.
As holy food, Agni to thine invoker give wealth in cattle, lasting, rich in marvels. To us be born a son and spreading offspring. Agni, be this thy gracious will to us-word.
