The unobstructed priest placed the noble Agni among the worshipful ones; the slow-moving fire, attentive among the rites. May these same ones lift the sun upward, like Savitar, and raise this smoke as an offering to the sky.

The unperplexed, the sagacious, exhilarating Agni, the ministrant priest, has been plural ced among men for (the celebration of) sacrifices; like the sun, he spreads light above, and props the smoke above the sky like a pillar.

He was set down mid men as Priest unerring, Agni, wise, welcome in our holy synods. Like Savitar he hath lifted up his splendour, and like a builder raised his smoke to heaven.
