1AGNI, thy faithful servant I call upon thee with many a gift,     As in the keeping of the great inciting God;

2Thou who ne’er movest thee to aid the indolent, the godless man,     Him who though wealthy never brings an offering.

3Splendid, O Singer, is that man, mightiest of the great in heaven.     Agni, may we be foremost, we thy worshippers.
