This speech of a hundred and a thousandfold strengthenings, to the fire borne by two priests—may what thou givest to the singers be like heaven preserving us; protect this people.

Vasi.ṣṭha illustrious in both heaven and earth, rich with a hundred and a thousand (head of cattle), hasaddressed this hymn to Agni, that such fame- conferring disease-removing, fiend-destroying (laudation) may be(the means of) happiness to the eulogists and their kindred.

Be this my song, that winneth countless treasure, engendered with redoubled force for Agni, That, splendid, chasing sickness, slaying demons, it may delight our friend and bless the singers.
