Adorned Agni, messenger in both ways, you observe the rites of the gods in the realm of passion; may you unveil wise counsels to us — be auspicious, vigorous and beneficent.
Showing grace, Agni, to both (gods and men), and at each sacred rite the messenger of the gods, you traverse earth and heaven; inasmuch as we offer you worship and praise, therefore do you, who are the guardian of the three (regions), be auspicious to us.
Thou, Agni, ordering the works and ways of both, as envoy of the Gods traversest both the worlds. When we lay claim to thy regard and gracious fare, be thou to us a thriceprotecting friendly guard.
