वि मे॑ पुरु॒त्रा प॑तयन्ति॒ कामाः॒ शम्यच्छा॑ दीद्ये पू॒र्व्याणि॑ । समि॑द्धे अ॒ग्नावृ॒तमिद्व॑देम म॒हद्दे॒वाना॑मसुर॒त्वमेक॑म्
vi me purutrā patayanti kāmāḥ śamyacchā dīdye pūrvyāṇi samiddhe agnāvṛtamidvadema mahaddevānāmasuratvamekam
For us the progeny spread forth desires and appeased the ancient ones; the former lights shone. Thus we spoke in the embrace of Agni’s radiance—one sovereignty of the gods and Asuras alike.
Variously do my manifold desires alight; present at the solemnity, I recite ancient (hymns); when the fire is kindled we speak indeed the truth, for great and unequalled is the might of the gods.
My wishes fly abroad to many places: I glance back to the ancient sacrifices. Let us declare the truth when fire is kindled. Great is the Gods' supreme and sole dominion.
