1CHASING with light our sin away, O Agni, shine thou wealth on us.     May his light chase our sin away.

2For goodly fields, for pleasant homes, for wealth we sacrifice to thee.     May his light chase our sin away.

3Best praiser of all these be he; foremost, our chiefs who sacrifice.     May his light chase our sin away.

4So that thy worshippers and we, thine, Agni, in our sons may live.     May his light chase our sin away.

5As ever-conquering Agni's beams of splendour go to every side,     May his light chase our sin away.

6To every side thy face is turned, thou art triumphant everywhere.     May his light chase our sin away.

7O thou whose face looks every way, bear us past foes as in a ship.     May his light chase our sin away.

8As in a ship, convey thou us for our advantage o’er the flood.     May his light chase our sin away.
