a (Thou I art) earth in depth, sky in breadth, atmosphere in greatness; In thy lap, O goddess Aditi, Agni I place, food−eater for the eating of food. b The spotted bull hath come And reached again the mother And the father, faring to the heaven. c Thirty places be ruleth; Speech resorteth to the bird Bear it with the days. d With her inspiration from his expiration, She wandereth between the worlds; The bull discerneth the heaven. e If thee [1] in anger I have scattered, In rage or through misfortune, That of thee, O Agni, be in good order, Again thee we relight. f Whatever of thee scattered in rage Was spread over the earth, That the Adityas, the All−gods And the Vasus gathered together. g Mind, light, rejoice in the oblation. May be unite this scattered sacrifice; May Brhaspati extend it; May the All−gods rejoice herein. h Seven are thy kindling−sticks, O Agni, seven thy tongues; Seven seers [2], seven dear abodes, Seven priesthoods sevenfold sacrifice to thee; Seven birthplaces with ghee do thou fill. i Return with strength, return, O Agni, with food and life; Again guard us on all sides. k Return with wealth, O Agni, Fatten with the stream, All gaining on every side. l Leka, Salekha, Sulekha, may these Adityas rejoicing partake of our oblation; Keta, Saketa, Suketa, may these Adityas rejoicing partake of our oblation; Vivasvan, Aditi, Devajuti, may these Adityas rejoicing partake of our oblation.
