May that Agni, who is worthy to be praised by ancient and modern sages, gather the Gods here. || 1 ||
Through Agni, one gets a lot of wealth that increases day by day. One gets fame and the best progeny. || 3 ||
O Agni, you are surrounding the non-violent sacrifice on all sides, that which indeed reaches (in) the gods. || 4 ||
May Agni, the sacrificer, one who possesses immense wisdom, he who is true, has most distinguished fame, is divine, come hither with the gods. || 5 ||
O Agni, whatever good you will do and whatever possessions you bestow (upon the worshiper), that, O Angiras, is indeed your essence. || 6 ||
O Agni, the illuminer (dispeller) of darkness, we approach near thee (thy vicinity) with thought (willingness), day by day, while bearing obeisance. || 7 ||
(We approach) Thee, the shining (the radiant), the protector of non-injuring sacrifices, growing in your own dwelling, the bright star of truth. || 8 ||
O Agni, be easily accessible to us, like a father to his son. Accompany us for our well-being. || 9 ||
