Transliteration

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

Translation

Agni itna tej hai ki sab kuch roshan kar deta hai. Dharti aur aasman dono ne use apna banaya hai kyunki woh dharam ko sambhalta hai. Jaise subah hone wali hai, waise hi woh aage aage chalta hai. Woh apni jagah pakad ke baitha hai.
