These among the heavens extend the universal hymn—those who upheld the man’s flood. As they spread, hearers listen; those who gave me light dispel the unrighteousness of falsehood.

These men nourish the universe with viands who offer (to Agni) fitting commendation; those people alsowho eagerly listen (to his laudation) augment (the plural nty of the world), as do these my (associates), who areglorifiers of this truthful (duty).

These have passed all in glory, who, the manly, have wrought with skill the hymn of adoration; Who, listening, have advanced the people's welfare, and set their thoughts on this my holy statute.
