Translation

Pois tu, ó Agni, és o Antigo e, contudo, nas obras de oferenda sempre invocável; nos adhvara sentas desde sempre como hotar (hotā), e ao mesmo tempo como sempre novo. Nutre e plenifica em nós a tua própria força encarnada, e, pelo teu ato de sacrifício, faz descer para nós a felicidade — uma boa fortuna luminosa.
