We do come to Agni, who is splendid, protector of holy rites, illuminator of truth, effulgent One, increasing in his own abode.

Just as a sire it to his son, so be you to us easy of access, O Agni, be ever with us for our weal.

O Agni, be our close friends, our protector and our well-wisher, dwelling with us. O effulgent one, come, dwell with us and grant us glorious wealth.


O most radiant Agni, we approach you with prayers for happiness and weal for our friends. So listen our prayers, be friend and guard us against all wicked men.

O cow Ida, come, O cow Aditi, come here, O cows so much desired by all, come here. May I obtain all my heart’s desire through you.

O Brahmanaspate, the lord of knowledge, make him glorious who presses out Soma juice, even as you made Kakshivan, the son of the seer Ushik.

Let him dwell ever with us who is rich, removes disease, increases wealth, and is prompt in actions.

O Brahmanaspate, protect us, let not the foeman’s curse, let not his treachery approach us.

May we attain the divine, unassailable and great protection of the three gods-Mitra, Aryaman and Varuna.

Neither in home nor on pathways nor in places perilous, has the wicked foe power over these gods.

They the sons of Aditi, grant light forever to a mortal man so that he may live long.

O Indra, you are never fruitless, you are ever gracious to your devotee. O Maghavan, your bounty as a liberal god is boundless.

We meditate on the excellent radiance of god Savitar, the generator of all. May he inspire our minds!

May your unassailable chariot wherewith you protect your devotees, be ever near us on every side!

O God, may I be rich in subjects, well-manned with excellent heroes and well-nourished with best food. O friend of man, protect my subjects. O adorable, guard may cattle. O God, increasing all, protect my food!

O effulgent Lord, giver of excellent wealth, all-knowing, we approach you alone. O Agni, grant us splendour with strength, O imperial God!

This Agni, the Grihapatya, is the lord of the home, is the giver of wealth to the subjects. O Lord of the home, O Agni, grant us splendour with wealth. This Agni dwells on the earth, increases riches and strength. O earth-dwelling Agni, grant us splendour with wealth.
