1ACCEPT our loudest-sounding hymn, food most delightful to the Gods,     Pouring our offerings in thy mouth.

2Now, Agni, will we say to thee, O wisest and best Aṅgiras,     Our precious, much-availing prayer.

3Who, Agni, is thy kin, of men? who is thy worthy worshipper?     On whom dependent? who art thou?

4The kinsman, Agni, of mankind, their well beloved Friend art thou,     A Friend whom friends may supplicate.

5Bring to us Mitra, Varuṇa, bring the Gods to mighty sacrifice.     Bring them, O Agni, to thine home.
