It spreads abroad when butter hath been offered it, and balmed with streams of butter shines forth like the Sun.\np:Still newest is this face of thine, O Agni, which Manu and Sumitra have enkindled. So richly shine, accept our songs with favour, so give us strengthening food, so send us glory.\np:Accept this offering, Agni, whom aforetime Vadhryasva, hath entreated and enkindled. Guard well our homes and ople, guard our bodies, protect thy girt to us which thou hast granted.\np:Be splendid, guard us Kinsman of Vadhryasva: let not the enmity of men o’ercome thee, like the bold hero Cyavāna, I Sumitra tell forth the title of Vadhryaiva's Kinsman.\np:All treasures hast thou won, of plains and mountains, and quelled the Dāsas' and Āryas' hatred. Like the bold hero Cyavāna, O Agni. Mayst thou subdue the men who long for battle.\np:Deft Agni hath a lengthened thread, tall oxen, a thousand heifers, numberless devices. Decked by the men, splendid among the splendid, shine brightly forth amid devout Sumitras.\np:Thine is the teeming cow, O Jātavedas, who pours at once her ceaseless flow, Sabardhuk, Thou. art lit up by men enriched with guerdon, O Agni, by the pious-souled Sumitras.\np:Even Immortal Devas, O Jātavedas, Vadhryasva's Kinsman, have declared thy grandeur. When human tribes drew near with supplication thou conqueredst with men whom thou hadst strengthened.\np:Like as a father bears his son, O Agni, Vadhryasva bare thee in his lap and served thee. Thou, Youngest Deva, having enjoyed his fuel, didst vanquish those of old though they were mighty.\np:Vadhryasva's Agni evermore hath vanquished his foes with heroes who had pressed the Soma. Lord of bright rays, thou burntest up the battle, subduing, as our help, e’en mighty foemen.\np:This Agni of Vadhryasva, Vṛtra-slayer, lit from of old, must be invoked with homage.
