Agni the priest sat down; the sacrificers approached. May the fragrant mother not depart from the world. Young poet, firm among men, upholder of rites, ruler of fields, reach thou the middle of gains.

The adorable Agni, the offerer of the oblation, has sat down in a fragrant plural ce on the top of his mother (earth); youthful, wise, many-stationed, the celebrator of sacrifice, the sustainer (of all), kindled (he abides) among men.

Agni hath sat him down, a Priest most skilful, on a sweet-smelling place, his Mother's bosom. Young, faithful, sage, preeminent o'er many, kindled among the folk whom he sustaineth.
