Guard us from your cattle‑guardians and those who stayed behind the cattle; protect our threefold heroes. O seeker of sacrifice, give us reward; O Vaishvānara, sustain our offerings and uphold our praises.

Adored Agni, present in the three worlds, protect your worshippers with your irresistible protections, preserve the strength of us who offer (oblations); glorified (by us), Agni vaiśvānara, transport us (beyond evil).

O thou who dwellest in three places, Helper, keep with effective guards our princely patrons. Keep our band, Agni, who have brought thee presents. Lengthen their lives, Vaisvanara, when lauded.
