1What has flowed from purpose, or heart, Or what is gathered from mind or sight, Follow to the world of good deed, Where are the seers, the first-born, the ancient ones.

2This I place around thee, O abode, the treasure

3Whom the all-knower hath brought here; After you the lord of the sacrifice will follow; Know ye him in the highest firmament.

4Know ye him in the highest firmament, O gods associates, ye know his form; When he shall come [1] by the paths, god-travelled, Do ye reveal to him what is sacrificed and bestowed.

5Move ye forward; go ye along together, Make ye the paths, god-travelled, O Agni In this highest abode, O All-gods, sit ye with the sacrificer.

6With the strew, the encircling- stick, The offering-ladle, the altar, the grass (barhis), With the Rc, bear this sacrifice for us To go to the heaven to the gods.

7What is offered, what is handed over, What is given, the sacrificial fee, That [2] may Agni Vaiçvanara Place in the sky among the gods for us.

8That by which thou bearest a thousand, Thou, O Agni, all wealth, By that (path) do thou bear the sacrifice of ours, To go to the gods in heaven.

9By that (path) by which, O Agni, the priests, busy, Bear the fees, the sacrifice, By that do thou bear this sacrifice of ours, To go to the gods in heaven.

10By that (path) by which, O Agni, the doers of good deeds, Obtain the streams of honey, By that do thou bear this sacrifice of ours, To go to the gods in heaven.

11Where are the streams that fail not Of honey and of ghee, May Agni Vaiçvanara place us In heaven among the gods.
