Wise in discerning and dividing thought from non-thought, he who knows, standing behind, drove away enemies and fashioned the men. O Lord, grant us offspring and give us the bright day, the ruler of wealth.
May the wise Agni discriminate between virtue and vice between (virtuous and wicked) men, as a (groom distinguishes between) the strong and weak backs (of horses); enrich us with wealth accompanied by virtuous offspring; be bountiful to the liberal giver; shun him who gives not.
May he who knows distinguish sense and folly of men, like straight and crooked backs of horses. Lead us, O God, to wealth and noble offspring: keep penury afar and grant us plenty.
