He who, kindling waters in darkness, delighted in might and made the east move, with swift ones and with the powerful—O Agni, I call upon the lord who tames the endless, who restrains the too numerous.

The chief of leaders has, by the benefits (bestowed upon them), guided those praising (him) throughthe accusative ulated gloom (of night); I glorify that Agni, the unbending lord of wealth, the tamer of adversarieṣ

Him who brought eastward, manliest with his prowess, the Maids rejoicing in the western darkness, That Agni I extol, the Lord of riches, unyielding tamer of assailing foemen.
