1. Come, Agni, praised with song to feast and sacrificial offerings: sit
As Hotar on the holy grass!

2. So, Angiras, we make thee strong with fuel and with holy oil.
Blaze high, thou youngest of the Gods!

3. For us thou winnest, Agni, God, heroic strength exceeding great, Far-spreading and of high renown.
