मन्थता नरः कविमद्वयन्तं प्रचेतसममृतं सुप्रतीकम् । यज्ञस्य केतुं प्रथमं पुरस्तादग्निं नरो जनयता सुशेवम् ॥

mánthatā naraḥ kavím ádvayantaṃ prácetasam amṛ́taṃ suprátīkam | yajñásya ketúṃ prathamáṃ purástād agníṃ naro janayatā suśévam ||

Batei, ó homens, e fazei nascer Agni — o vidente que não vacila, vasto em poder consciente, imortal, de face radiante. Estabelecei-o primeiro como o estandarte do sacrifício, à frente; Agni, ó homens, gerai-o benfazejo, doador de um bem feliz e harmonioso.
