2.7.1

श्रेष्ठं॑ यविष्ठ भार॒ताग्ने॑ द्यु॒मन्त॒मा भ॑र ।
वसो॑ पुरु॒स्पृहं॑ र॒यिम् ॥

O youngest, O descendant of Bharata, Agni, bring us the best, brilliant wealth; O giver of goods, wealth much desired by many.

मा नो॒ अरा॑तिरीशत दे॒वस्य॒ मर्त्य॑स्य च ।
पर्षि॒ तस्या॑ उ॒त द्वि॒षः ॥

May the hostility of god or mortal not gain power over us; carry us across it and across hatred.

विश्वा॑ उ॒त त्वया॑ व॒यं धारा॑ उद॒न्या॑ इव ।
अति॑ गाहेमहि॒ द्विषः॑ ॥

Through you may we cross over all hostilities, as streams of waters cross over the sea.

शुचिः॑ पावक॒ वन्द्योऽग्ने॑ बृ॒हद्वि रो॑चसे ।
त्वं घृ॒तेभि॒राहु॑तः ॥

Pure one, purifier, worthy of praise, O Agni, you shine greatly; you are invoked with oblations of ghee.

त्वं नो॑ असि भार॒ताग्ने॑ व॒शाभि॑रु॒क्षभिः॑ ।
अ॒ष्टाप॑दीभि॒राहु॑तः ॥

You are ours, O Agni, descendant of Bharata; you are invoked with cows, bulls, and eight-footed offerings.

द्र्व॑न्नः स॒र्पिरा॑सुतिः प्र॒त्नो होता॒ वरे॑ण्यः ।
सह॑सस्पु॒त्रो अद्भु॑तः ॥

Rich in ghee-oblations, ancient, the choicest invoking priest, son of strength, wondrous — such are you, Agni.
