Just as one renews the young, you, Bearer, sustain among mortals the kindling Agni at the sacred spot.

He (it is) whom the two sticks have engendered like a new-born babe; the supporter of men and descendants of Manu, the fit object of sacrifice.

Whom, as an infant newly-born, the kindling-sticks have brought to life, Sustainer of the tribes of men, skilled in well-ordered sacrifice.
