Sanskrit Original
अग्ने॒ स क्षे॑षदृत॒पा ऋ॑ते॒जा उ॒रु ज्योति॑र्नशते देव॒युष्टे॑ । यं त्वं मि॒त्रेण॒ वरु॑णः स॒जोषा॒ देव॒ पासि॒ त्यज॑सा॒ मर्त॒मंहः॑
agne sa kṣeṣadṛtapā ṛtejā uru jyotirnaśate devayuṣṭe yaṃ tvaṃ mitreṇa varuṇaḥ sajoṣā deva pāsi tyajasā martamaṃhaḥ
Agni, you of consuming flame, you who shine with broad light in the ritual time—what you, Mitra and Varuna, have bound in fellowship, O god, cast away the mortal's sloth.
The offerer of sacrifice, born for religious rites, who lives devoted, Agni, to you, obtains abundant light, and is a man whom you, sympathizing in satisfaction with Mitra and Varuṇa, protect by your shield from iniquity.
TRUE, guardian of the Law, thy faithful servant wins ample light and dwells in peace, O Agni, Whom thou, as Varuna in accord with Mitra, guardest, O God, by banishing his trouble.
