Transliteration

sá sukrátuḥ puróhito dámē-damē’gnír yajñásyādhvarásya cetati krátvā yajñásya cetati | krátvā vedhā́ iṣūyáte víśvā jātā́ni paspaśe | yató ghṛtaśrī́r átithir ájāyata váhnir vedhā́ ájāyata ||

Translation

Él, de voluntad resplandeciente (śukrá-tu), puesto al frente en cada morada como purohita, — Agni — por la fuerza de la intención (krátu) despierta al sacrificio (yajñá) y a la ofrenda recta (adhvará); por esa misma fuerza conoce el sacrificio. Con el mismo señorío, el Vedha, el Conocedor, dispara su impulso y contempla a todos los seres nacidos. De él nació el Huésped, adornado con el brillo del ghee (ghṛta-śrī); nació Vahni, nació Vedha.
