अ॒ग्निमु॒षस॑म॒श्विना॑ दधि॒क्रां व्यु॑ष्टिषु हवते॒ वह्नि॑रु॒क्थैः सु॒ज्योति॑षो नः शृण्वन्तु दे॒वाः स॒जोष॑सो अध्व॒रं वा॑वशा॒नाः
"WITH lauds at break of morn the priest invoketh Agni, Dawn, Dadhikrâs, and both the Aṣvins. With one consent the Gods whose light is splendid, longing to taste our sacrifice, shall hear us."
अग्ने॒ त्री ते॒ वाजि॑ना॒ त्री ष॒धस्था॑ ति॒स्रस्ते॑ जि॒ह्वा ऋ॑तजात पू॒र्वीः ति॒स्र उ॑ ते त॒न्वो॑ दे॒ववा॑ता॒स्ताभि॑र्नः पाहि॒ गिरो॒ अप्र॑युच्छन्
"Three are thy powers, O Agni, three thy stations, three are thy tongues, yea, many, Child of Order! Three bodies hast thou which the Gods delight in: with these protect our hymns with care unceasing."
अग्ने॒ भूरी॑णि॒ तव॑ जातवेदो॒ देव॑ स्वधावो॒ऽमृत॑स्य॒ नाम॑ याश्च॑ मा॒या मा॒यिनां॑ विश्वमिन्व॒ त्वे पू॒र्वीः सं॑द॒धुः पृ॑ष्टबन्धो
"O Agni, many are the names thou bearest, immortal, God, Divine, and Jâtavedas. And many charms of charmers, All-Inspirer! have they laid in thee, Lord of true attendants!"
अ॒ग्निर्ने॒ता भग॑ इव क्षिती॒नां दैवी॑नां दे॒व ऋ॑तु॒पा ऋ॒तावा॑ स वृ॑त्र॒हा स॒नयो॑ वि॒श्ववे॑दाः॒ पर्ष॒द्विश्वाति॑ दुरि॒ता गृ॒णन्त॑म्
"Agni, like Bhaga, leads the godly people, he who is true to Law and guards the seasons. Ancient, all-knowing, he the Vr̥itra-slayer shall bear the singer safe through every trouble."
द॒धि॒क्राम॒ग्निमु॒षसं॑ च दे॒वीं बृह॒स्पतिं॑ सवि॒तारं॑ च दे॒वम् अ॒श्विना॑ मि॒त्रावरु॑णा॒ भगं॑ च॒ वसू॑न्रु॒द्राँ आ॑दि॒त्याँ इ॒ह हु॑वे
"I call on Savitar the God, on Morning, Br̥ihaspati, and Dadhikrâs, and Agni, On Varuṇa and Mitra, on the Aṣvins, Bhaga, the Vasus, Rudras and Âdityas."
