1To this fair sacrifice to drink the milky draught thou art invoked:     O Agni, with the Maruts come.

2No mortal man, no God exceeds thy mental power, O Mighty one:     O Agni, with the Maruts come:

3All Gods devoid of guile, who know the mighty region of mid-air:     O Agni, with those Maruts come.

4The terrible, who sing their song, not to be overcome by might:     O Agni, with those Maruts come.

5Brilliant, and awful in their form, mighty, devourers of their foes:     O Agni, with those Maruts come.

6Who sit as Deities in heaven, above the sky-vault's luminous sphere:     O Agni, with those Maruts come.

7Who scatter clouds about the sky, away over the billowy sea:     O Agni, with those Maruts come.

8Who with their bright beams spread them forth over the ocean in their might     O Agni, with those Maruts come.

9For thee, to be thine early draught, I pour the Soma-mingled meath:     O Agni, with the Maruts come.
