He who, with heart bright as a ray, deems the mortal equal to the immortal—I call him to life. Jatavedas, grant glory to us; O Agni, bestow immortality upon us through offspring and people.
Inasmuch as I who am a mortal earnestly invoke you who are an immortal, praising you with a devoted heart; therefore, Jātavedas, grant us food, and may I obtain immortality through my posterity.
As I, remembering thee with grateful spirit, a mortal, call with might on thee Immortal, Vouchsafe us high renown, O Jatavedas, and may I be immortal by my children.
