दा नो अग्ने बृहतो दाः सहस्रिणो दुरो न वाजं श्रुत्या अपा वृधि । प्राची द्यावापृथिवी ब्रह्मणा कृधि स्वर्ण शुक्रमुषसो वि दिद्युतः ॥

dā́ no agne bṛható dā́ḥ sahasríṇo duró ná vā́jaṃ śrutyā́ apā́ vṛdhi | prācī́ dyā́vā-pṛthivī́ bráhmaṇā kṛdhi svàrṇá śukrám uṣásaḥ ví didyutuḥ ||

Give to us, O Agni, the vast; give the thousandfold. Open for our hearing the doors to the plenitude of force, as one opens a gate. Make Heaven and Earth turn towards us by the power of the mantra; like the sun’s own bright gold, let the Dawns flash out their pure radiance.
