uta svānāso divi ṣantvagnestigmāyudhā rakṣase hantavā u made cidasya pra rujanti bhāmā na varante paribādho adevīḥ
May the fires of your own, O Agni, shine in the heavens; may the weapon-bearing one protect and slay the foe. The shining ones do not yield to obstacles; the radiant ones do not turn back.
My roaring (flames), Agni, be manifest in the sky as sharp weapons wherewith to slay the rākṣasas; in his exhilaration his shining (rays) inflict (destruction), and undivine opposing (hosts) arrest him not.
Loud in the heaven above be Agni's roarings with keen-edged weapons to destroy the demons. Forth burst his splendours in the Soma's rapture. The godless bands press round but cannot stayhim.
