You, Agni, are lord of the home, you are our sacrificer upon the hearth; you are the protector, wise in all directions, the thoughtful one who restrains foes and guards the house.
All-desired Agni, you are the lord of the mansion; you are the invoker of the gods; you are the assistantpriest; do you, who are wise, present (the oblation to the gods), and partake (of it yourself).
Thou, Agni, art the homestead's Lord, our Herald at the sacrifice. Lord of all boons, thou art the Cleanser and a Sage. Pay worship, and enjoy the good.
