No, Agni, do not oppose the bull with swelling pride that you set up. Be our priest performing the oblation; make our line abundant, O generous one.
Since you spread out on all sides, your teeth, bull Agni, are not to be resisted; O offerer, do you makeour oblation rightly presented; give us many precious (gifts).
Solicit with your chants, for help, Agni the God with piercing flame, For riches famous Agni, Purumilha and ye men! Agni to light our dwelling well.
