1.75.1

जु॒षस्व॑ स॒प्रथ॑स्तमं॒ वचो॑ दे॒वप्स॑रस्तमम् ।
ह॒व्या जुह्वा॑न आ॒सनि॑ ॥

Agni, accept this speech, most widely extending and most dear to the gods; pouring oblations, be seated in your seat.

अथा॑ ते अङ्गिरस्त॒माग्ने॑ वेधस्तम प्रि॒यम् ।
वो॒चेम॒ ब्रह्म॑ सान॒सि ॥

Therefore, O Agni, most like the Angirases and most wise, let us recite the sacred prayer dear to you, for a share of the gift.

कस्ते॑ जा॒मिर्जना॑ना॒मग्ने॒ को दा॒श्व॑ध्वरः ।
को ह॒ कस्मि॑न्नसि श्रि॒तः ॥

O Agni, who among men is your kinsman? Who is the sacrificer who gives you offerings? And indeed, on whom do you depend?

त्वं जा॒मिर्जना॑ना॒मग्ने॑ मि॒त्रो अ॑सि प्रि॒यः ।
सखा॒ सखि॑भ्य॒ ईड्यः॑ ॥

You are the kinsman of men, O Agni; you are the friend, the dear one. To friends you are a companion; you are worthy of praise.

यजा॑ नो मि॒त्रावरु॑णा॒ यजा॑ दे॒वाँ ऋ॒तं बृ॒हत् ।
अग्ने॒ यक्षि॒ स्वं दम॑म् ॥

Sacrifice for us to Mitra and Varuna; sacrifice to the gods, to the great cosmic order (ṛta). O Agni, sacrifice in your own abode.
