उद॑ग्ने तिष्ठ॒ प्रत्या त॑नुष्व॒ न्यमित्राँ॑२ ओषतात्तिग्महेते । यो नो॒ अरा॑तिᳪ समिधान च॒क्रे नी॒चा तं ध॑क्ष्यत॒सं न शुष्क॑म्

Transliteration

úd agne tiṣṭha prátyā́ tanuṣva ny àmítrāṃ̐2 oṣatā́ttigmahete | yó no arā́tiṃ samidhāná cakré nīcā́ taṃ dhakṣyathā́saṃ ná śúṣkam

Translation

Rise up, O Agni; stretch thyself against them; smite down the foes, O thou of keen-edged weapon. Whoso, when thou art kindled, worketh us ill-will—him, brought low, shalt thou burn up, as one burneth dry fuel.
