अक्र॑न्दद॒ग्नि स्त॒नय॑न्निव॒ द्यौ: क्षामा॒ रेरि॑हद्वी॒रुध॑: सम॒ञ्जन् । स॒द्यो ज॑ज्ञा॒नो वि हीमि॒द्धो अख्य॒दा रोद॑सी भा॒नुना॑ भात्य॒न्तः

Transliteration

ákra̍ndad a̱gní sta̱náyann iva dyáuḥ kṣā́mā re̍rihad vī̱rúdhaḥ sama̱ñján | sa̱dyó ja̍jñāno ví hīm i̱ddhó a̱khyad ā́ ródasī bhā̱núnā bhāty a̱ntáḥ

Translation

Agni rugit, comme si le ciel tonnait; il lécha la terre, dévorant les plantes, en assemblant les régions. Aussitôt né — oui, lorsqu’il est allumé — il se manifesta : par son éclat il resplendit au-dedans vers les deux mondes.
