Sanskrit Original
कद्धिष्ण्या॑सु वृधसा॒नो अ॑ग्ने॒ कद्वाता॑य॒ प्रत॑वसे शुभं॒ये । परि॑ज्मने॒ नास॑त्याय॒ क्षे ब्रवः॒ कद॑ग्ने रु॒द्राय॑ नृ॒घ्ने
kaddhiṣṇyāsu vṛdhasāno agne kadvātāya pratavase śubhaṃye parijmane nāsatyāya kṣe bravaḥ kadagne rudrāya nṛghne
When did you, O Agni, swell with warmth for the fierce ones, when blow for the wind for prosperity? For the falling victim’s protection you speak, when for Rudra the slayer did you roar?
Why repeat it when exalted in holy ceremonies? why tell it to the mighty, benevolent, circumambient, truthful wind? why, Agni, to earth, why to man-destroying Rudra?
What, when thou blazest on the lesser altars, what to the mighty Wind who comes tobless us, True, circumambient? what to Earth, O Agni, what wilt thou say to man-destroying Rudra?
