5.24.1

अग्ने॒ त्वं नो॒ अन्त॑मः ।
उ॒त त्रा॒ता शि॒वो भ॑वा वरू॒थ्यः॑ ॥

O Agni, you are the nearest to us and our protector too. Be auspicious, be the giver of shelter.

वसु॑र॒ग्निर्वसु॑श्रवाः ।
अच्छा॑ नक्षि द्यु॒मत्त॑मं र॒यिं दाः॑ ॥

Agni, wealth itself, renowned for wealth, come near to us and give the most radiant wealth.

स नो॑ बोधि श्रु॒धी हव॑म् ।
उ॒रु॒ष्या णो॑ अघाय॒तः स॑मस्मात् ॥

Take notice of us and hear our call. Keep us safe from those who harm us, from any hostile person.

तं त्वा॑ शोचिष्ठ दीदिवः ।
सु॒म्नाय॑ नू॒नमी॑महे॒ सखि॑भ्यः ॥

Most brilliant, shining one, we surely call upon you for the happiness of our friends.
