yugé-yuge vidáthyaṃ gṛṇádbhyo 'gne rayíṃ yaśásaṃ dhehi návyasīm | pavyéva rājan aghá-śaṃsam ajara nīcā́ ní vṛśca vanínaṃ ná téjasā ||

Translation

Age after age, for those who sing in the gatherings, O Agni, place in us a newer wealth of glory—fullness of being. Like an axe, O King, cut down the ill-speaking force; O undecaying one, strike it low, as a tree is felled by your blazing power.
