अ॒ग्निमच्छा॑ देवय॒तां मनां॑सि॒ चक्षूं॑षीव॒ सूर्ये॒ सं च॑रन्ति । यदीं॒ सुवा॑ते उ॒षसा॒ विरू॑पे श्वे॒तो वा॒जी जा॑यते॒ अग्रे॒ अह्ना॑म्
agnimacchā devayatāṃ manāṃsi cakṣūṃṣīva sūrye saṃ caranti yadīṃ suvāte uṣasā virūpe śveto vājī jāyate agre ahnām
May they make Agni godlike in mind and eyes, moving with the Sun. If dawn shines fair or ruddy, white-robed he is victorious at the fore of the day.
The minds of the devout turn to Agni, as the eyes (of men) look towards the sun; when the multiform (heaven and earth) bring him forth along with the dawn, he is born as a white courser in the beginning of the days.
The spirits of the pious turn together to Agni, as the eyes of all to Surya. He, when both Dawns of different hues have borne him, springs up at daybreak as a strong white charger.
