Here you, son, are born with might for us today, embracing both realms, O inner Agni. You are sent as messenger; you unite the straightened folk, the bull-like, with radiant parts.
Agni, son of strength, genitive rated today at this our rite, as intermediate between both (gods and men) you proceed, the invoker (of the gods), harnessing, graceful Agni, your robust, vigorous, and resplendent steeds.
Born for us here this day, O Son of Vigour, between both races of born beings, Agni, Thou farest as an envoy, having harnessed, Sublime One! thy strong-muscled radiant stallions.
