O Agni, as your messenger you have borne immortality from age to age; carrying the offering we have given you to the gods and to mortals, we salute the mighty, widespread Lord.

You, Agni, have gods and men in every age retained as their messenger, immortal bearer of oblations, beneficent, adorable; they have plural ced him with reverence (upon the altar), vigilant, pervading, the protector of mankind.

Men, Agni, in each age have made thee, Deathiess One, their envoy, offering-bearer, guard adorable. With reverence Gods and mortals have established thee, the ever-watchful, omnipresent Household Lord.
