1To Agni send I forth my song, to him the Bull of all the folk:     So may he bear us past our foes.

2Who from the distance far away shines brilliantly across the wastes:     So may he bear us past our foes.

3The Bull with brightly-gleaming flame who utterly consumes the fiends     So may he bear us past our foes.

4Who looks on all existing things and comprehends them with his view:     So may he bear us past our foes.

5Resplendent Agni, who was born in farthest region of the air:     So may he bear us past our foes.
