I Laud Agni, the chosen Priest, God,
minister of sacrifice, The hotar, lavishest of wealth.1. Worthy is
Agni to be praised by living as by ancient seers. He shall bring hitherward the
Gods.2 Through Agni man obtaineth wealth, yea, plenty waxing day by
day. Most rich in heroes, glorious.3 Agni, the perfect sacrifice
which thou encompassest about. Verily goeth to the Gods.4 May Agni,
sapient-minded Priest, truthful, most gloriously great. The God, come hither
with the Gods.5 Whatever blessing, Agni, thou wilt grant unto thy worshiper. That, Aṅgiras, is indeed thy truth.6 To thee, dispeller
of the night, O Agni, day by day with prayer. Bringing thee reverence, we come.7 Ruler of sacrifices, guard of Law eternal, radiant One. Increasing in thine own
abode.8 Be to us easy of approach, even as a father to his son.
Agni, be with us for our weal.9

Pray Agni the receiver, holder and distributor of energy, which leads to
victory of devta and wealth to the
performer of yagye.1 The
ancient seekers prayed Agni, so can
the present. It holds the divine benefits in itself.2 Agni helps obtaining, possessing and
enjoying fame and power, which as a rule continues to increase day by day.3 That which is given in oblation to Agni
for divine during yagye, certainly
reaches the devta.4 The
sound which is made (mantr) according
to correct pronunciation (phonetic rules) before Agni goes to the supreme energy of the devta.5 That results which you Agni create and delivers on hearing, is received in truth by the
doer6. I bow to you Agni,
which day by day removes toxins (negativities) and eliminates errors.7 It (Agni) wears the secret, which
governs the immortality and Self existence.8 Like a father hugs his
son, so you (Agni) envelop the Self.9
