नि होता होतृषदने विदानस्त्वेषो दीदिवाँ असदत्सुदक्षः । अदब्धव्रतप्रमतिर्वसिष्ठः सहस्रम्भरः शुचिजिह्वो अग्निः ॥
Agni ab pandit ki jagah par baith gaya hai. Woh seedha raasta jaanta hai. Woh chamak raha hai aur bahut skilled hai. Vasishtha naam ka rishi hai jiska vishwas toota nahi sakta. Agni ki jeeb saaf hai aur woh hazaar shaktiyan laata hai. Woh hamare andar sthir ho gaya hai.

Agni, tum messenger ho. Tum hamare door se bhi rakhwale ho. Tum hamare behtar banne ke liye leader ho, jaise bail taqat se aage badhta hai. Agni, hamare bacchon ke liye aur hamari zindagi ke liye tu jaag ja. Tu hamara guard ban, jo kabhi fail nahi hota aur roshni se chamakta hai.

विधेम ते परमे जन्मन्नग्ने विधेम स्तोमैरवरे सधस्थे । यस्माद्योनेरुदारिथा यजे तं प्र त्वे हवींषि जुहुरे समिद्धे ॥
Agni, hum tumhari sabse badi shakti ki seva karenge. Apne gaanon se hum tumhari neeche wali jagah par bhi seva karenge. Tum jahan se bhi paida huye ho, wahin se upar uth ke aaye ho. Isliye jab tum jalte ho to log tumhmein samagri daalte hain.

Agni, tu yagya mein samagri daal. Tu sabse zyada yagya ke layak hai. Tu dhyaan se sun aur jo dena hai woh le le. Tu sampannata ki puuri kar. Kyunki tu dhan ka malik hai. Tu chamakte shabdon ka sochne wala aur poora karne wala hai.

Agni, tera do tarah ka dhan hai jo kabhi khatam nahi hota. Roz tum naye ban rahe ho, tum kamaal karte ho. Agni, gaana gaane wale ko taqat se bhara de. Use aisa dhan ka malik bana de jo aulad aur sahi raaj deta hai.

सैनानीकेन सुविदत्रो अस्मे यष्टा देवाँ आयजिष्ठः स्वस्ति । अदब्धो गोपा उत नः परस्पा अग्ने द्युमदुत रेवद्दिदीहि ॥
Agni, tum aage chal ke hamare liye yagya karo. Bhagwan logon ki puja mein tum sabse bade ho. Hamare liye bhala karo. Tumhe koi nuksan nahi pahuncha sakta. Tum chamak ke rakhwale ho aur hamare bade protector ho. Agni, tum chamak ke saath chamko aur hamare upar khushiyon ki baarish karo.
