Sanskrit Original
प्र॒शंस॑मानो॒ अति॑थि॒र्न मि॒त्रियो॒ऽग्नी रथो॒ न वेद्यः॑ । त्वे क्षेमा॑सो॒ अपि॑ सन्ति सा॒धव॒स्त्वं राजा॑ रयी॒णाम्
praśaṃsamāno atithirna mitriyo'gnī ratho na vedyaḥ tve kṣemāso api santi sādhavastvaṃ rājā rayīṇām
Praising guest-lord Agni, the chariot is not to be known by two; you are the welfare even for us, ruler of herds and men.
Agni, when honoured like a guest, is gracious to his praisers; he is to be recognized as a chariot(bringing the fruit of the worship); in you verily the virtuous are confiding; you are the rājā of riches.
Agni, who praises like a guest of friendly mind, is as a car that brings us gear. Also in thee is found perfect security thou art the Sovran Lord of wealth.
