मा नो॑ अग्ने॒ऽवीर॑ते॒ परा॑ दा दु॒र्वास॒सेऽम॑तये॒ मा नो॑ अ॒स्यै । मा नः॑ क्षु॒धे मा र॒क्षस॑ ऋतावो॒ मा नो॒ दमे॒ मा वन॒ आ जु॑हूर्थाः
mā no agne'vīrate parā dā durvāsase'mataye mā no asyai mā naḥ kṣudhe mā rakṣasa ṛtāvo mā no dame mā vana ā juhūrthāḥ
Do not, O Agni, withdraw beyond our reach in hostility; do not forsake us. Spare us from hunger, protect us by the laws; do not subject us to taming or to the forest—offerings keep coming.
Relinquish us not, Agni, to the want of male offspring; nor to deficient clothing; nor to such desruction;leave us not to hunger, not to the rākṣasas; expose us not, observer of truth, to evil, whether in the house or inthe forest.
Give us not up, Agni, to want of heroes, to wretched clothes, to need, to destitution. Yield us not, Holy One, to fiend or hunger; injure us not at home or in the forest.
