Transliteration

imám añjaspā́m ubháye akṛṇvata dharmā́ṇam agníṃ vidáthasya sā́dhanam | aktúṃ na yahvám uṣásaḥ puróhitaṃ tanūnapātam aruṣásya niṃsate ||

Translation

A este Agni, veloz en ungir con resplandor, ambos (cielo y tierra / ambos lados) lo han hecho sostén del dharma, realizador de la vidathā (asamblea sagrada). Como fuego de la noche, el impetuoso es puesto al frente por las Uṣas (Auroras); Tanūnapāt, del Rojizo, queda establecido.
