प्र ताँ अ॒ग्निर्ब॑भसत्ति॒ग्मज॑म्भ॒स्तपि॑ष्ठेन शो॒चिषा॒ यः सु॒राधाः॑ । प्र ये मि॒नन्ति॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ धाम॑ प्रि॒या मि॒त्रस्य॒ चेत॑तो ध्रु॒वाणि॑
pra tām̐ agnirbabhasattigmajambhastapiṣṭhena śociṣā yaḥ surādhāḥ pra ye minanti varuṇasya dhāma priyā mitrasya cetato dhruvāṇi
Before them Agni shone like a flame, ruler of the thick-voiced ones, most welcomed by the singers. Before those who invoke the realms of Varuna with songs beloved of Mitra, steadfast hearts are upheld.
May the sharp-toothed Agni, possessed of excellent wealth, consume with his fierce radiance those (adversaries) who injure the firm and valued glories of the sapient Varuṇa and Mitra.
May he with sharpened teeth, the Bounteous Giver, Agni, consume with flame most fiercely glowing. Those who regard not Varuna's commandments and the dear stedfast laws of sapient Mitra.
