1a The head of the sky, the messenger of earth,     Vaiçvanara, born for holy order, Agni,     The sage, the king, the guest of men,     The gods have produced as a cup for their mouths.     b Thou art taken with a support; to Agni Vaiçvanara thee! Thou art     secure, of secure foundation, most secure of the secure, with securest     foundation of those which are secure. This is thy birthplace; to Agni     Vaiçvanara thee!
