Leader of cattle, watchful, O Agni, well-skilled, newly splendid in decree; like a counterpart of ghee you spread broadly in the sky, shining in the two realms, pure for the Bharatas.
The vigilant, the powerful Agni, the protector of man, has been engendered for the present prosperity (of the world); fed with butter, (blazing) with intense (radiance) reaching to the sky, the pure Agni shines brilliantly for the Bharatas.
THE watchful Guardian of the people hath been born, Agni, the very strong, for fresh prosperity. With oil upon his face, with high heaventouching flame, he shineth splendidly, pure, for the Bharatas.
