mahaścidagna enaso abhīka ūrvāddevānāmuta martyānām mā te sakhāyaḥ sadamidriṣāma yacchā tokāya tanayāya śaṃ yoḥ
Great is Agni's might, powerful breath that protects the gods and mortals. May no enemy be near you, friend; what you give to offspring be most auspicious.
Let not us, Agni, who are your friends, ever suffer harm from any great or comprehensive offence against either gods or men; bestow forgiveness upon our sons and grandsons, the reward of what has been well done.
Even in the presence of great sin, O Agni, free us from prison of the Gods or mortals. Never may we who are thy friends be injured: grant health and strength unto our seed and offspring.
