O Agni, greatly radiant with light, you produce all things through your mighty brilliance. O primal goddess, together with your wondrous power you protect, you guard the peaks, and you preserve (life).
Agni, shines with great and varied radiance; he makes all things manifest by his might; he overcomes undivine malignant delusions; he sharpens his horns for the destruction of the rākṣasas.
Agni shines far and wide with lofty splendour, and by his greatness makes all things apparent. He conquers godless and malign enchantments, and sharpens both his horns to gore the Raksas.
