A hundredfold wrath and fierce onslaught released, he loosed the stream of strife; the sinful are hostile indeed. From us, Agni, emancipation from bonds—bind not the sacrificer here in his seat.
You have liberated the fettered Śunahśepa from a thousand stakes, for he was patient in endurance; so Agni, free us from our bonds, having sat down here (at our sacrifice), intelligent offerer of oblations.
Thou from the stake didst loose e'en Sunahsepa bound for a thousand; for he prayed with fervour. So, Agni, loose from us the bonds that bind us, when thou art seated here, O Priest who knowest.
