ayā te agne samidhā vidhema prati stomaṃ śasyamānaṃ gṛbhāya dahāśaso rakṣasaḥ pāhya1smāndruho nido mitramaho avadyāt
O Agni, we shall set these fuel-bundles before you and offer the hymn, bearing the ripening crop. Guard us from the ravenous fierce ones; drive away enmity and slumber, and tell Mitra to be gracious.
May we propitiate you, Agni, by this fuel; accept the praise that is recited by us; consume the unadoring rākṣasas; you are to be honoured by (your) friends, preserve us from the reproach of the oppressor and the reviler.
O Agni, with this fuel will we serve thee; accept the laud we sing to thee with favour Destroy the cursing Raksasas: preserve us, O rich in friends, from guile and scorn and slander.
