क॒था ह॒ तद्वरु॑णाय॒ त्वम॑ग्ने क॒था दि॒वे ग॑र्हसे॒ कन्न॒ आगः॑ । क॒था मि॒त्राय॑ मी॒ळ्हुषे॑ पृथि॒व्यै ब्रवः॒ कद॑र्य॒म्णे कद्भगा॑य
kathā ha tadvaruṇāya tvamagne kathā dive garhase kanna āgaḥ kathā mitrāya mīḷhuṣe pṛthivyai bravaḥ kadaryamṇe kadbhagāya
How then, O Agni, did you go to Varuna? How in the day did you delight the house? How to Mitra did you move, to the wide earth you spoke; when to the ritual, when to the lord?
Why, Agni, do you reproach us (for our sin) to Varuṇa, why to the heaven? what is our offence? why repeat it to the bountiful Mitra, to earth, to Aryaman, or to Bhaga?
Why this complaint to Varuna, O Agni? And why to Heaven? for what is our transgression? How wilt thou speak to Earth and bounteous Mitra? What wilt thou say to Aryaman and Bhaga?
