They who range through heaven and earth and mid-air, who move attendant on the lightning; who are within the quarters, who are within the wind—to those Agnis be this oblation offered; let it be so.
Mereka yang merentas langit, bumi, dan ruang-antara; yang bergerak mengiringi kilat; yang berada dalam segala penjuru, yang berada dalam angin—kepada Agni-Agni itu dipersembahkan persembahan ini; demikianlah jadinya.
