vaiśvānarāya mīḷhuṣe sajoṣāḥ kathā dāśemāgnaye bṛhadbhāḥ anūnena bṛhatā vakṣathenopa stabhāyadupaminna rodhaḥ
To Vaishvanara I sing: O powerful ones, how have you bestowed wide greatness upon the agni? With a little he expanded the greatness; he opposed the obstructing bolt.
How may we present rejoicing (fit offering) to Agni the showerer (of benefits); to Vaiśvānara, he, who, bright with great lustre, sustains the heaven, with his entire vast and insupportable (bulk), as a pillar (sustains a roof).
How shall we give with one accord oblation to Agni, to Vaisvanara the Bounteous? Great light, with full high growth hath he uplifted, and, as a pillar bears the roof, sustains it.
