इ॒ध्मेन॑ त्वा जातवेदः स॒मिधा॑ वर्धयामसि । तथा॒ त्वम॒स्मान् व॑र्धय प्र॒जया॑ च॒ धने॑न च

With fuel we strengthen thee, O Jātavedas, with the kindling-stick we make thee wax; so do thou, in like wise, increase us with progeny and with wealth.
हे अग्नि, हम तुम्हे लकड़ी से स्ट्रॉन्ग बना रहे हैं। जला के बड़ा कर रहे हैं। तुम भी हमें ऐसे ही स्ट्रॉन्ग बनाओ। हमारे बच्चे और पैसा दोनों बढ़ाओ।
