Mantra 53
Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within the Yajurvedic transmission (often linked to Yājñavalkya’s school-lineage rather than a single Ṛgvedic seer)
Devata: Agni (with ‘Viśve Devāḥ’ as co-invoked collective)
Chandas: Tr̥ṣṭubh-like cadence (as used in Yajus prose-verse; metrical assignment varies in ancillary lists)

Wahai Agni, semoga semua Dewa mengangkat engkau tinggi dengan tujuan-tujuan mereka. Jadilah bagi kami yang membawa kesejahteraan; berwajah indah, wahai yang bersinar jauh.
