Here I am first, established as priest, one who offers with the makers of the sacrifice, eminent among the paths. Him who obtained the prize, Bhrigu, who shone in the forests, I beheld splendid and manifold.

This invoker of the gods and minister of frequent worship, who is to be glorified at sacrifices, has been plural ced first (of the gods) by the performers of the rite; the Agni whom Apnavāna and other Bhṛgus lighted in the woods for the sake of all men, marvellous (in his acts), and soverign (over all).

HERE by ordainers was this God appointed first Invoker, best at worship, to be praised at rites: Whom Apnavana, and the Bhrgus caused to shine bright-coloured in the wood, spreading from home to home.
