O Agni, lord of the home, may I become a good householder through you, living with you, O Agni, master of the home. May you be the excellent householder through my prayers, O Agni. May the household affairs of both of us, the husband and wife be well managed through hundred years. I follow the path that Surya treads.

O Agni, the lord of vows, I have observed the vow. I was successful in the vow I had taken, full power was mine. Still am I he who observed the vow, I am verily he, and no other.

To you Agni, hail! who bears oblations to father. To you Soma hail, accompanied by fathers. The fiends and demons who occupied the same altar have now been destroyed.

May Agni drive these demons away who being nourished by the oblations offered to fathers, roam about freely in various guises, whether they be disguised in thin or fat bodies.

O fathers, enjoy yourselves here, he nourished like bulls with each of the allotted portions. The fathers have enjoyed themselves, and here like bulls have grown healthy and strong with their allotted portions.

Salutations to you, O fathers, and to your genial sap. Fathers, obeisance to you for your ardour. Fathers, salutation to you for your longevity. Salutations to you for your life, O fathers, for your righteous passion, obeisance to you, O fathers! O fathers, grant us homes. Fathers, we offer you ever what we possess. O fathers, we offer this raiment, clothe yourselves in it.

O fathers, grant us a baby son, a boy garlanded with a wealth of lotuses, so that there may be a heroic man.

O waters, you are the bearers of ghee, corn, milk and dripping saps. You are the best and immortal drink. You increase the sustaining vigour. Satisfy my fathers.
