He who is fierce like a wild stag, with sharp horns, not a follower—Agni, protect the city, O roaring one.

You, Agni, who are like a fierce archer, or like a sharp-horned bull, have destroyed the cities (of the asuras).

Mighty as one who slays with shafts, or like a bull with sharpened horn, Agni, thou breakest down the forts.
