Wilson's Translation.
I.
1. I glorify Agni, the high priest of the sacrifice, the divine, the ministrant, who presents the oblation (to the gods), and is the possessor of great wealth.
2. May that Agni, who is to be celebrated by both ancient and modern sages, conduct the gods hither.
3. Through Agni the worshipper obtains that affluence, which increases day by day, which is the source of fame and the multiplier of mankind.
4. Agni, the unobstructed sacrifice of which thou art on every side the protector, assuredly reaches the gods.
5. May Agni, the presenter of oblations, the attainer of knowledge; he who is true, renowned, and divine, come hither with the gods!
6. Whatever good thou mayest, Agni, bestow upon the giver (of the oblation), that verily, Angiras, shall revert to thee.[163]
7. We approach thee, Agni, with reverential homage in our thoughts, daily, both morning and evening.
8. Thee, the radiant, the protector of sacrifices, the constant illuminator of truth, increasing in thine own dwelling!
