Translation

Agni has given wealth of heroic form; Agni (has given) the seer who wins thousands. Agni has stretched the offering in heaven; Agni’s abodes are borne in many places. (Inner sense) The divine Fire grants the fullness of being shaped into heroic power, and it brings forth the seer-consciousness that wins vast plenitudes. It extends the offering into the higher mind (heaven), and its stations are upheld throughout the many levels of the being.
