O omnipresent you are placed at the head of the world, your heart is in the sea, your life is in the waters. Guard us by giving waters. Pour rain by cleaving the clouds.

May Agni, satisfied with oblations, fulfil all our desires. May this oblation quickly reach the gods.

The knowledge which has arisen either from extertion or from judgement, or obtained from soul-force, or from the meditation, or from minds, eyes or ear, hold fast to it so that you may follow the path of salvation along which have gone the first-born ancient sages.

O gods, dwelling in the loftiest heaven, to you I trust this sacrificer. I offer you be the fruit of this sacrifice. After you will the Sacrificer follow. Here know him in this vast and loftiest heaven.

Recognize this Sacrificer, O gods, dwelling in the loftiest heaven. Know him well and his form. When he follows the gods’ pathway, reveal to him the fruits of righteous action!

May Agni, Vishvakarman’s own, establish us among the gods in heaven, where the streams of honey, milk and ghee flow unceasing.

Angi I am, the knower of all the created things, adorable in the form of sacrifice, immortal. May eye is ghee, in my mouth is nectar. I am the Rik, Yaju and Sama, the creator of the three realms, immortal heat I am and conveyor of burnt offerings.

I am triple-vidya of the vedas in name. You are the best of the five Agnis found among the five races of men for their weal. Speed us on lengthened life.

O Indra, the slayer of the foe, conqueror of the armies, we call on you again and again for power and strength.

Like a dreadful wild beast roaming in the mountains, you have come unto us, O Indra, from the farthest land. Now encircle our foes and crush the enemies, whetting your sharp thunderbolt, and scatter all above who detest us!

Come, O Agni, come to guard us from the distant land. Come Vaishvanara, to listen to our beautiful hymns of praise!

Agni has entered all, he has entered the sky, the earth, the air and the sun. All herbs he has entered. May that Agni, pervading all, preserve us all day and night from harm.

O Agni, help us that we may have our desire fulfilled, obtain hero-sons and the best riches, O wealthy one! Waging war with the enemy may we be victorious and enriched. O Ageless, may we attain your eternal glory!

O Agni, approaching you with folded and raised hands, we have this day fulfilled your longing. With contemplative mind and devoted spirit, with no unfriendly thought, O Agni, worship the gods!
