Solicit with your hymns, for aid, Agni the God with piercing flame, For riches famous Agni, Purmilha ‘and ye men, Agni to light our dwelling well.
Agni, come hither with thy fires: we choose thee as our Hotai-priest. Let the extended ladle full of oil balm thee, best priest, to sit on sacred grass.
For unto thee, O Angiras, O Son of Strength, move ladles in the sacrifice, To Agni, Child of Force, whose locks drop oil, we seek, fore-most in sacrificial rites.
