He for whom there is no friend, no kin, neither mother nor father nor who was declared—there the kindly Mitra, not inattentive, the firegiver among mortals, glanced upon humans.

Of whom, progenitor (of mankind), the benevolence is never checked; whose parents need not urge him to exertion; so that the well-satisfied, purifying Agni shines like a friend among men, the descendants of Manu.

Naught hindered his production, Bounteous Giver: his Mother and his Sire were free to send him. Then as Friend benevolent, refulgent, Agni shone forth in human habitations.
