Mantra 2
Agni as the victorious, wealth-bestowing sacrificial power who destroys impediments and brings prayer’s fruit (offspring, prosperity) to the yajamāna.
प्रभङ्गी शूरो मघवा तुवीमघः सम्मिश्लो विर्याय कम् उभा ते बाहू वृषणा शतक्रतो नि या वज्रं मिमिक्षतुः
prabhaṅgī śūro maghavā tuvīmaghaḥ sammiślo viryāya kam ubhā te bāhū vṛṣaṇā śatakrato ni yā vajraṃ mimikṣatuḥ

敵を打ち砕く者、英雄にして施与者、いよいよ大いなる施与者、武威のために結び合わさる――百功者（Śatakratu）よ、牡牛のごとく力ある汝の両腕が、金剛杵（vajra）を据え、固く定めて、敵を撃たしめよ。
