Agni (Jātavedas)

Himne satu ayat ini menyeru Agni sebagai Jātavedas, api yang maha mengetahui, sementara Soma diperah sebagai persembahan untuk menguatkan upacara. Agni dipohon agar membakar lenyap niat permusuhan dan menyeberangkan pemuja dengan selamat melampaui setiap laluan yang sukar—seperti perahu menyeberangi sungai—menjauhi bahaya dan jalan yang sesat.
