वै॒श्वा॒न॒राय॑ पृथु॒पाज॑से॒ विपो॒ रत्ना॑ विधन्त ध॒रुणे॑षु॒ गात॑वे ।

Agni, father of the sacrifices and lord of the wise, the measurer and guide, has entered the brilliant vast heaven and earth. Dear to many, the seer-poet Agni is glorified through his forms.
3.3.5
च॒न्द्रम॒ग्निं च॒न्द्रर॑थं॒ हरि॑व्रतं वैश्वान॒रम॑प्सु॒षदं॑ स्व॒र्विद॑म् ।
वि॒गा॒हं तूर्णिं॒ तवि॑षीभि॒रावृ॑तं॒ भूर्णिं॑ दे॒वास॑ इ॒ह सु॒श्रियं॑ दधुः ॥
The gods here set up the moon-bright Agni, Vaiśvānara of the shining chariot and tawny horses, dweller in the waters, finder of heaven's light, who plunges into depths, swift, enveloped in flames, tawny and bright, with auspicious splendor.
3.3.6
अ॒ग्निर्दे॒वेभि॒र्मनु॑षश्च ज॒न्तुभि॑स्तन्वा॒नो य॒ज्ञं पु॑रु॒पेश॑सं धि॒या ।
र॒थीर॒न्तरी॑यते॒ साध॑दिष्टिभिर्जी॒रो दमू॑ना अभिशस्ति॒चात॑नः ॥
Agni, with the gods, with men and with creatures, spreading the sacrifice of many forms, is driven by thought as charioteer between the worlds; swift-horsed, ageless, the tamer and driver-off of foes, he is led onward.
3.3.7
अग्ने॒ जर॑स्व स्वप॒त्य आयु॑नि ऊ॒र्जा पि॑न्वस्व॒ समिषो॑ दिदीहि नः ।
वयां॑सि जिन्व बृह॒तश्च॑ जागृव उ॒शिग्दे॒वाना॒मसि॑ सु॒क्रतु॑र्वि॒पाम् ॥
O Agni, thrive in good offspring and in life; swell with strength, fill us with nourishment, and shine. Impel the mighty powers; O watchful one, you are the wise driver of the gods' purposes, and of the inspired singers.
3.3.8
वि॒श्पतिं॑ य॒ह्वमति॑थिं॒ नरः॒ सदा॑ य॒न्तारं॑ धी॒नामु॒शिजं॑ च वा॒घता॑म् ।
अ॒ध्व॒राणां॒ चेत॑नं जा॒तवे॑दसं॒ प्र शं॑सन्ति॒ नम॑सा जू॒तिभि॑र्वृ॒धे ॥
Men always praise, with homage and invocations, for growth, Agni: lord of the clans, mighty guest, driver of prayers and rouser of the chanters, awakener of the sacrifices, the all-knowing Jātavedas.
3.3.9
वि॒भावा॑ दे॒वः सु॒रणः॒ परि॑ क्षि॒तीर॒ग्निर्ब॑भूव॒ शव॑सा सु॒मद्र॑थः ।

वैश्वा॑नर॒ तव॒ धामा॒न्या च॑के॒ येभिः॑ स्व॒र्विदभ॑वो विचक्षण ।
जा॒त आपृ॑णो॒ भुव॑नानि॒ रोद॑सी॒ अग्ने॒ ता विश्वा॑ परि॒भूर॑सि॒ त्मना॑ ॥
O Vaiśvānara, I have seen those abodes of yours by which you became the winner of heaven's light, O all-seeing one. Born, you filled the worlds and heaven and earth; O Agni, you encompass all by your own self.
3.3.11
वै॒श्वा॒न॒रस्य॑ दं॒सना॑भ्यो बृ॒हदरि॑णा॒देकः॑ स्वप॒स्यया॑ क॒विः ।
उ॒भा पि॒तरा॑ म॒हय॑न्नजायता॒ग्निर्द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी भूरि॑रेतसा ॥
Through the wonderful deeds of Vaiśvānara, the one sage Agni enlarged the vast. Magnifying both parents, heaven and earth, Agni was born, the two rich in abundant seed.
