Former (worshippers) constituting you, divine (Agni), the messenger (of the gods), have worshipped you with oblations at the dawn of day; when you proceed to the plural ce (of the aggregation) of the wealth (of sacrifice), bright-shining, kindled by the mortals who have given you an abode.

At this dawn's flushing, God! our ancient fathers served thee with offerings, making thee their envoy, When, Agni, to the store of wealth thou goest, a God cnkindled with good things by mortals.
