1I Laud Agni, the chosen Priest, God, minister of sacrifice,     The hotar, lavishest of wealth.

2Worthy is Agni to be praised by living as by ancient seers.     He shall bring hitherward the Gods.

3Through Agni man obtaineth wealth, yea, plenty waxing day by day,     Most rich in heroes, glorious.

4Agni, the perfect sacrifice which thou encompassest about     Verily goeth to the Gods.

5May Agni, sapient-minded Priest, truthful, most gloriously great,     The God, come hither with the Gods.

6Whatever blessing, Agni, thou wilt grant unto thy worshipper,     That, Aṅgiras, is indeed thy truth.

7To thee, dispeller of the night, O Agni, day by day with prayer     Bringing thee reverence, we come

8Ruler of sacrifices, guard of Law eternal, radiant One,     Increasing in thine own abode.

9Be to us easy of approach, even as a father to his son:     Agni, be with us for our weal.
