2. I seek with song your messenger, oblation-bearer, lord of wealth,Immortal, best at sacrifice.
3. Still turning to their aim in thee the sacrificer's sister hymnsHave come to thee before the wind.
4. To thee, illuminer of night, O Agni, day by day with prayer,Bringing thee reverence, we come.
5. Help, thou who knowest lauds, this work, a lovely hymn in Rudra's praise,Adorable in every house!
6. To this fair sacrifice to drink the milky draught art thou called forth:O Agni, with the Maruts come!
7. With homage will I reverence thee, Agni, like a long-tailed steed,Imperial lord of holy rites.
8. As Aurva and as Bhrigu called, as Apnavana called, I callThe radiant Agni robed with sea.
9. When he enkindles Agni, man should with his heart attend the song:I kindle Agni till he glows.
10. Then, verily, they see the light refulgent of primeval seed,Kindled on yonder side of heaven.
