शग्धि वाजस्य सुभग प्रजावतोऽग्ने बृहतो अध्वरे । सं राया भूयसा सृज मयोभुना तुविद्युम्न यशस्वता ॥

श॒ग्धि वाज॑स्य सुभग प्र॒जाव॒तोऽग्ने॑ बृह॒तो अ॑ध्व॒रे । सं रा॒या भूय॑सा सृज मयो॒भुना॒ तुवि॑द्युम्न॒ यश॑स्वता ॥

O Agni, luminous giver of good fortune, in the vast and upward-moving sacrifice, grant us the plenitude of force (vāja) that is rich in soul-offspring and inner formations. Join us with a more abundant rayi—an increase of fullness of being—creating by your power of delight (mayobhū) a wide and victorious splendour (tuví-dyumna) and an enduring fame of the spirit (yaśas).
