Transliteration

sāsmākébhir étarī ná śūṣáir agníḥ ṣṭave dáma ā́ jātávedāḥ | drváṇṇo vanván kratvā́ nā́rvó usrā́ḥ pitā́ iva jārayā́yi yajñáiḥ ||

Translation

Dengan kekuatan-kekuatan giat kami ia mara seperti penggerak yang pantas; Agni, Yang Mengetahui Kelahiran (Jātavedas), wajar dipuji di rumah kewujudan. Menghala ke depan, menawan dengan kehendak, seperti kuda yang meluru, ia membawa cahaya-cahaya fajar; seperti seorang bapa ia mematangkan yajña dengan persembahan kami hingga tua menjadi ranum.
