só agnír yó vásur gṛṇé sáṃ yám āyánti dhenávaḥ | sám árvanto raghudrúvaḥ sáṃ sujātā́sa sūraya íṣaṃ stotṛ́bhya ā́ bhara ||
Translation
সেই বসু (কল্যাণকর) অগ্নি স্তূত হন—যাঁর কাছে ধেনুগণ একত্রে আসে; একত্রে আসে দ্রুতগামী অশ্বগণ; একত্রে আসে সুজাত ‘সূরি’ (দানদাতা/পোষক)গণ। হে অগ্নি, স্তোতাদের জন্য এখানে পোষণ (ইষ্) এনে দাও।
