2Agni, disclose his thought for him who singeth, the well, Strong God! while thou art praised with fervou r. Vouchsafe to us that powerful hymn, O Mighty, which, Radiant One! with all the Gods thou lovest.

3From thee, O Agni, springs poetic wisdom, from thee come thoughts and hymns of praise that prosper; From thee flows wealth, with heroes to adorn it, to the true−hearted man who gives oblation.

4From thee the hero springs who wins the booty, bringer of help, mighty, of real courage. From thee comes wealth, sent by the Gods, bliss−giving; Agni, from thee the fleet impetuous charger.

5Immortal Agni, thee whose voice is pleasant, as first in rank, as God, religious mortals Invite with hyrnns; thee who removest hatred, Friend of the Home, the household's Lord, unerring.

6Far from us thou removest want and sorrow, far from us all ill−will when thou protectest. Son of Strength, Agni, blest is he at evening, whom thou as God attendest for his welfare.
