Sukta 2
अ॒ग्नेष्टे॑ प्रा॒णम॒मृता॒दायु॑ष्मतो वन्वे जा॒तवे॑दसः । यथा॒ न रिष्या॑ अ॒मृतः॑ स॒जूरस॒स्तत् ते॑ कृणोमि॒ तदु॑ ते॒ समृ॑ध्यताम्
agné te prāṇám amṛtā́d ā́yuṣmato vanve jātávedasaḥ | yáthā ná riṣyā́ amṛtáḥ sajū́rasaḥ tát te kṛṇomi tád u te samṛ́dhyatām
O Agni, from the deathless, from the life-endowed, I seek to win thy breath, O Jātavedas; so that thou suffer no hurt—deathless, in firm accord—this I establish for thee; yea, let that for thee be brought to full success.
Wahai Agni, daripada yang tidak mati, daripada yang berdaya-hidup, aku berusaha memenangi nafasmu, wahai Jātavedas; supaya engkau tidak ditimpa mudarat—tidak mati, seia-sekata dalam keselarasan—itulah aku tetapkan untukmu; ya, moga itu bagimu mencapai kejayaan yang sempurna.
