यो अग्निः सप्तमानुषः श्रितो विश्वेषु सिन्धुषु । तमागन्म त्रिपस्त्यं मन्धातुर्दस्युहन्तममग्निं यज्ञेषु पूर्व्यं नभन्तामन्यके समे ॥
yó agníḥ saptá-mānuṣaḥ śritó víśveṣu síndhuṣu | tám ā́ aganma tri-pástyaṃ mandhātúr dasyuhán-tamam agním yajñéṣu pū́rvyaṃ nabhantām anyaké samé ||
That Agni who is the sevenfold-human, established in all the streams, to him we have come—the three-homed, of Mandhātṛ, the most slayer of the Dasyu, the ancient Agni in the sacrifices—let the hostile powers be driven away elsewhere.
