स॒द्यो जा॒त ओष॑धीभिर्ववक्षे॒ यदी॒ वर्ध॑न्ति प्र॒स्वो॑ घृ॒तेन॑ । आप॑ इव प्र॒वता॒ शुम्भ॑माना उरु॒ष्यद॒ग्निः पि॒त्रोरु॒पस्थे॑
sadyo jāta oṣadhībhirvavakṣe yadī vardhanti prasvo ghṛtena āpa iva pravatā śumbhamānā uruṣyadagniḥ pitrorupasthe
I will proclaim herbs freshly born, if they increase by the abundant ghee. Like waters that overflow, the strong-fire, exulting, grows large—Agni stands in the form of the fathers.
As soon as genitive rated he is borne aloft by the plural nts, which grow flourishing by moisture, as the beautifying waters descend; may he, in the bosom of his parents, protect us.
Born suddenly, by plants he grew to greatness, when tender shoots with holy oil increased him, Like waters lovely when they hasten downward may Agni in his Parents' lap protect us.
