2Agni, burn up the unfriendly who are near us, burn thou the foeman's curse who pays no worship. Burn, Vasu, thou who markest well, the foolish: let thine eternal nimble beams surround thee.

3With fuel, Agni, and with oil, desirous, mine offering I present for strength and conquest, With prayer, so far as I have power, adoring−this hymn divine to gain a hundred treasures.

4Give with thy glow, thou Son of Strength, when lauded, great vital power to those who toil to serve thee . Give richly, Agni, to the Visvamitras in rest and stir. Oft have we decked thy body.

5Give us, O liberal Lord, great gtore of riches, for, Agni, such art thou when duly kindled. Thou in the happy singer's home bestowest, amply with arms extended, things of beauty.
