He who kindled you, Agni, who spoke these sacred formulas, who prepared the food — he became the giver; Jātavedas, established by the ritual, upheld the blazing light and the gods.
May he who with uplifted ladle kindles you, and thrice every day presents to you the (sacrificial) food, knowing your glory, Jātavedas, to be invigorated by the act, surpass (all others) in riches.
WHOSO enkindles thee, with lifted ladle, and thrice this day offiers thee food, O Agni, May he excel, triumphant through thy splendours, wise through thy mental power, O Jatavedas.
