tvāmagna ṛtāyavaḥ samīdhire pratnaṃ pratnāsa ūtaye sahaskṛta puruścandraṃ yajataṃ viśvadhāyasaṃ damūnasaṃ gṛhapatiṃ vareṇyam
Agni, you, maker of the law of rites, we begin the hymn with eager zeal: the man sacrifices the shining moon, the all-knowing, the lord of treasures, the householder most excellent.
Manifest of strength, Agni, ancient worshippers have kindled you of old for their preservation; you, the delighter of many, the adorable, the all-sustaining, the lowly-minded, the lord of the house, the excellent.
O AGNI urged to strength, the men of old who loved the Law enkindled thee, the Ancient, for their aid, Thee very bright, and holy, nourisher of all, most excellent, the Friend and Master of the home.
