उन्मु॑ञ्च॒ पाशां॒स्त्वम॑ग्न ए॒षां त्रय॑स्त्रि॒भिरुत्सि॑ता॒ येभि॒रास॑न्। स ग्राह्याः॒ पाशा॒न् वि चृ॑त प्रजा॒नन् पि॑तापु॒त्रौ मा॒तरं॑ मुञ्च॒ सर्वा॑न्
ún muñca pā́śāṃs tvám agne eṣā́ṃ tráyas tribhír útsitā yébhir ā́san | sá grāhyā́ḥ pā́śān ví cṛta prajā́nann pitā-putráu mātáraṃ muñca sárvān ||
Unloose thou forth the nooses of these men, O Agni—three, fastened on by three, wherewith they were. As one who knoweth, sever thou the seizing bonds: release the father and the son, release the mother, release them all.
Wahai Agni, lepaskanlah jerat-jerat orang-orang ini—tiga, yang terikat oleh tiga, yang dengannya mereka dahulu terikat. Sebagai yang mengetahui, putuskanlah ikatan-ikatan yang mencengkam; bebaskan ayah dan anak, bebaskan ibu, bebaskan mereka semuanya.
