ā́ tvā́gne idhīmahi dyumántaṃ devā́jaram | yád ghá sā́ té panī́yasī samíd dī́dayati dyávi | íṣaṃ stotṛ́bhya ā́ bhara

Hither we kindle thee, O Agni, radiant, the god that waxeth not old. For when, indeed, that thy most gracious kindling-stick blazeth in the sky, then bring thou nourishment unto the praisers.

ഹേ അഗ്നേ, ഞങ്ങൾ നിന്നെ ഇവിടെ ജ്വലിപ്പിക്കുന്നു—ദ്യുതിമാൻ, ദേവൻ, അജരൻ (വൃദ്ധിയാകാത്തവൻ). നിന്റെ അതിപ്രിയ സമിധ് ആകാശത്തിൽ സത്യമായി ദീപ്തിയായി ജ്വലിക്കുമ്പോൾ, സ്തോതാക്കൾക്കായി പോഷണം (ഇഷ്) ഇവിടെ കൊണ്ടുവരിക.
