श॒तानी॑केव॒ प्र जि॑गाति धृष्णु॒या हन्ति॑ वृ॒त्राणि॑ दा॒शुषे॑ । गि॒रेरि॑व॒ प्र रसा॑ अस्य पिन्विरे॒ दत्रा॑णि पुरु॒भोज॑सः
śatānīkeva pra jigāti dhṛṣṇuyā hanti vṛtrāṇi dāśuṣe gireriva pra rasā asya pinvire datrāṇi purubhojasaḥ
Like a hundred steeds he wins, with daring he slays Vṛtra's hosts. Like a mountain torrent he pours forth the streams of this mighty eater of abundant food.
He rushes on boldly like a weapon with a hundred edges, he smites the enemies of his worshipper; thegifts of him who feeds many, swell like the streams of a mountain.
For unto thee, O Angiras, O Son of Strength, move ladles in the sacrifice. To Agni, Child of Force, whose locks drop oil, we seek, foremost in sacrificial rites.
