5.14.1

अ॒ग्निं स्तोमे॑न बोधय समिधा॒नो अम॑र्त्यम् ।
ह॒व्या दे॒वेषु॑ नो दधत् ॥

Agni, awaken with praise, you who are kindled and immortal; place our oblations among the gods.

तम॑ध्व॒रेष्वी॑ळते दे॒वं मर्ता॒ अम॑र्त्यम् ।
यजि॑ष्ठं॒ मानु॑षे॒ जने॑ ॥

In the sacrifices mortals praise that immortal god, most worthy of worship among human folk.

तं हि शश्व॑न्त॒ ईळ॑ते स्रु॒चा दे॒वं घृ॑त॒श्चुता॑ ।
अ॒ग्निं ह॒व्याय॒ वोळ्ह॑वे ॥

Indeed the constant praisers, with the ghee-pouring ladle, invoke that god, Agni, to bear the oblation.

अ॒ग्निर्जा॒तो अ॑रोचत॒ घ्नन्दस्यू॒ञ्ज्योति॑षा॒ तमः॑ ।
अवि॑न्द॒द्गा अ॒पः स्वः॑ ॥

Born, Agni shone forth, slaying the dasyus and with his light driving away darkness. He found the cows, the waters, and the heavenly light.

अ॒ग्निमी॒ळेन्यं॑ क॒विं घृ॒तपृ॑ष्ठं सपर्यत ।
वेतु॑ मे शृ॒णव॒द्धव॑म् ॥

Honour Agni, worthy of praise, the seer, ghee-backed; may he accept and hear my call.

अ॒ग्निं घृ॒तेन॑ वावृधुः॒ स्तोमे॑भिर्वि॒श्वच॑र्षणिम् ।
स्वा॒धीभि॑र्वच॒स्युभिः॑ ॥

With ghee and with hymns you two strengthened the all-seeing Agni, with skilful praises full of speech.
