Transliteration

agníṃ hótāram īḷate vásudhitiṃ priyáṃ cétiṣṭham aratíṃ ny èrire havya-vā́haṃ ny èrire | viśvā́yuṃ viśvá-vedasaṃ hótāraṃ yajatáṃ kavím | devā́so raṇvám aváse vasūyávo gī́rbhī raṇvám vasūyávaḥ ||

Translation

A Agni, el hotar, lo alaban: sostén de riquezas, amado, el mensajero más perspicaz; al portador de oblaciones (havyavāh) lo han asentado, lo han asentado. Al de vida universal, al omnisciente, al hotar digno de culto, al vidente-poeta (kaví): a él los dioses, deseosos de plenitud, lo llaman en auxilio; a él, el grato, lo llaman con himnos, los que ansían riquezas.
