English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

May Agni at the morning pressing guard us—Vaiśvānara, the All-maker, the All-auspicious. May that Purifier bestow on us wealth; may we be long-lived, sharing food in fellowship.

Translation

ದೀರ್ಘಾಯುಸ್ಸಿನ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಿ ಆಗಲಿ. ಪ್ರಾತಃಸವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಗ್ನಿ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಲಿ—ವೈಶ್ವಾನರ, ವಿಶ್ವಕೃತ್, ವಿಶ್ವಶಂಭೂ. ಆ ಪಾವಕನು ನಮಗೆ ದ್ರವಿಣ (ಧನ)ವನ್ನು ದಯಪಾಲಿಸಲಿ; ನಾವು ಆಯುಷ್ಮಂತರಾಗಿ, ಸಹಭಕ್ಷಾಃ—ಒಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ಆಹಾರ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಂಡು—ಇರೋಣ.
