1a I who deeming thee immortal,     Mortal myself, call on thee with prayerful heart.     Upon us, O wise one, bestow glory;     O Agni, through offspring may I attain immortality.     b He, for whom, O Agni, thou dost make, O wise one,     For his good deeds a kindly world,     Shall win prosperity and wealth,     Rich in sons, in heroes, in kine.     c To thee, O son of strength, they turn     Who have desires to be fulfilled;     None excelleth thee, O Indra.     d At each hymn the Soma delighteth Indra,     The pressed (juices), the bountiful one [1],     What time in unison with equal effort     They call him to aid, like sons a father.     e O Agni, O wise one, with sap,     With brilliance thou shinest,     Slayer of Raksases, suppressor of demons.     f I have penetrated to the waters     We are united with the sap;     I have come rich in milk, O Agni;     Do thou unite me with radiance.     g Rich art thou, lord of riches,     O Agni, rich in radiance;     May we enjoy thy loving kindness.     h Thou, O Agni, riches-lord of riches,     I hail [2], O lord in the sacrifices;     Through thee in strife may we be victorious;     May we overcome the hostilities of mortal men.     i Thee, O Agni, best gainer of booty,     The sages nourish, well lauded;     Do thou give us wealth of heroes.     k May Agni here make room for us;     May he go before us cleaving the foe     Joyfully may he conquer our foes;     May he win booty in the contest for booty.     l By Agni is Agni kindled,     The wise, the young, the lord of the house,     The bearer of the oblation, with ladle in his mouth.     m Thou, O Agni, by Agni,     The sage by the sage, the good by the good,     The comrade by the comrade, art kindled.     n O Agni, thy pure.     o With radiance.
