Beneath what we, Agni, by these hymns have fashioned with hands and bodies and led forth — the chariot unpierced by reins, the swift-footed steeds, they harnessed who sought the course and aided the wearied.

Therefore, Agni, when we labour for you with hands and feet, and all our members, the pious performers of rites, (the Aṅgirasas), exercise their arms in the work (of attrition), as wheelwrights fabricate a car.

Now all that we, thy faithful servants, Agni, have done with feet, with hands, and with our bodies, The wise, with toil, the holy rite have guided, as those who frame a car with manual cunning.
