O AGNI, Holy and Divine, with splendour and thy pleasant tongue Bring hither and adore the Gods.
We pray thee, thou who droppest oil, bright-rayed! who lookest on the Sun, Bring the Gods hither to the feast.
We have enkindled thee, O Sage, bright caller of the Gods to feast. O Agni, great in Sacrifice.
O Agni, come with all the Gods, come to our sacrificial gift: We choose thee as Invoking Priest.
Bring, Agni, to the worshipper who pours the juice, heroic strength: Sit with the Gods upon the grass.
Victor of thousands, Agni, thou, enkindled, cherishest the laws, Laud-worthy, envoy of the Gods.
Set Agni Jātavedas down, the bearer of our sacred gifts, MostYouthful, God and Minister.
Duly proceed our sacrifice, comprising all the Gods, to-day: Strew holy grass to be their seat.
So may the Maruts sit thereon, the Aśvins, Mitra, Varuṇa: The Gods with all their company.
