jā́to yád agne bhúvanā vyàkhyáḥ paśū́n na gopā́ iryàḥ parí-jmā́ | vaiśvā́nara bráhmaṇe vinda gātúṃ yūyáṃ pāta svastí-bhiḥ sadā́ naḥ ||

Translation

হে অগ্নি, যখন তুমি জন্মে ভুবনসমূহে দৃষ্টি বিস্তার করলে, তখন তুমি গোপার মতো পশুদের (কিরণ/সম্পদ) রক্ষা করতে করতে সর্বত্র পরিভ্রমণ করলে। হে বৈশ্বানর, ব্রহ্ম (পবিত্র বাণী/আত্ম-আকাঙ্ক্ষা)-এর জন্য গমনের পথ আবিষ্কার করো; আর তোমরা (দৈব শক্তিগণ) সর্বদা আমাদের স্বস্তিতে রক্ষা করো।
