That Agni of ours, O Fathers, who, immortal, hath entered within the hearts of mortals,—him, the God, I compass and take to me: let him not hate us, nor we be hostile unto him.
Wahai Para Bapa, Agni kami itu—yang abadi—telah masuk ke dalam hati manusia yang fana. Dewa itu aku rangkul dan aku pegang dekat pada diriku; janganlah dia membenci kami, dan jangan pula kami memusuhinya.
