He is indeed the ladle at offerings of mortals, the skilled sacrificer’s arms. Agni, accompanying the invoked, does not refuse portion or reward.
For that Agni, (endowed) with the lustre of the strength of his arms, is the ministrant priest of mortals, who (presents) the oblation to the gods in succession, and like Bhaga distributes desirable wealth.
He by the splendour of his arms is Priest of every able man. Agni conveys oblation straight, and deals, as Bhaga deals, his boons.
