Sanskrit Original
इ॒मे यामा॑सस्त्व॒द्रिग॑भूव॒न्वस॑वे वा॒ तदिदागो॑ अवाचि । नाहा॒यम॒ग्निर॒भिश॑स्तये नो॒ न रीष॑ते वावृधा॒नः परा॑ दात्
ime yāmāsastvadrigabhūvanvasave vā tadidāgo avāci nāhāyamagnirabhiśastaye no na rīṣate vāvṛdhānaḥ parā dāt
These reins you bound, O Agni, and made the world together; or you spoke this offering. Do not be angry with us who have invoked you; the mighty one gives afar.
These (encomiums) are directed towards you, but perhaps an offence has thereby been uttered to (you), the giver of dwellings;may Agni,augmenting (by our praise), yield us not up to the maligner or the malevolent.
To thee these eulogies have been directed: or to the Vasu hath this sin been spoken. But this our Agni, flaming high, shall never yield us to calumny, to him who wrongs us.
