Come, in thy hand there is no eater; the born child does not carry it. Install the fierce Agni as guardian of the abode.

(Worship) that Agni whom (the priests) bear in their hands like a new-born babe; the devourer (of the oblation), the (conveyer of the) holy sacrifices of men.

Whom, like an infant newly born, devourer, in their arms they bear, Men's Agni, skilled in holy rites.
