अ꣢ग्न꣣ आ꣡ या꣢हि वी꣣त꣡ये꣢ गृणा꣣नो꣢ ह꣣व्य꣡दा꣢तये ।
नि꣡ होता꣢꣯ सत्सि ब꣣र्हि꣡षि꣢ ॥ १ ॥

O Agni, come hither to partake; praised for the bestowing of oblations, sit down as the offerer upon the sacred grass.

त्व꣡म꣢ग्ने य꣣ज्ञा꣢ना꣣ꣳ हो꣢ता꣣ वि꣡ श्वे꣢षाꣳ हि꣣तः꣢ ।
दे꣣वे꣢भि꣣र्मा꣡नु꣢षे꣣ ज꣡ने꣢ ॥ २ ॥

O Agni, you are the offerer of all sacrifices, established among all; with the gods, among mortal people.

We choose Agni, messenger, priest, all-knowing, of this sacrifice the one of good purpose.

स꣡मि꣢द्धः शु꣣क्र꣡ आहु꣢꣯तः ॥ ४ ॥

Agni smites the obstacles, desiring wealth with praising words; kindled, bright, offered into.

प्रे꣡ष्ठं꣢ वो꣣ अ꣡ति꣢थिꣳ स्तु꣣षे꣢ मि꣣त्र꣡मि꣢व प्रि꣣य꣢म् ।
अ꣢ग्ने꣣ र꣢थं꣣ न꣡ वेद्य꣢꣯म् ॥ ५ ॥

I praise the dearest guest of you, dear like a friend; O Agni, to be known like a chariot.

त्वं꣡ नो꣢ अग्ने꣣ म꣡हो꣢भिः पा꣣हि꣢ विश्व꣢꣯स्या꣣ अ꣡रा꣢तेः ।
उ꣣त꣢ द्वि꣣षो꣡ मर्त्य꣢꣯स्य ॥ ६ ॥

O Agni, with your great powers protect us from all hostility, and from the hater who is mortal.

ए꣢ह्यू꣣ षु꣡ ब्रवा꣢꣯णि꣣ ते꣡ऽग्न꣢ इ꣣त्थे꣡त꣢रा꣣ गि꣡रः꣢ ।
ए꣣भि꣡र्व꣢र्धास꣣ इ꣡न्दु꣢भिः ॥ ७ ॥

Come, I will speak well to you, O Agni—thus other songs too; with these drops of soma may you grow.

आ꣡ ते꣢ व꣣त्सो꣡ मनो꣢꣯ यमत्पर꣣मा꣡च्चि꣢त्स꣣ध꣡स्था꣢त् ।
अ꣢ग्ने꣣ त्वां꣡ का꣢मये गि꣣रा꣢ ॥ ८ ॥

May your calf draw its mind to you, even from far, even from the common seat; O Agni, with song I desire you.

त्वा꣡म꣢ग्ने꣣ पु꣡ष्क꣢रा꣣द꣡ध्यथ꣢꣯र्वा꣣ नि꣡र꣢मन्थत ।
मू꣣र्ध्नो꣡ विश्व꣢꣯स्य वा꣣घ꣡तः꣢ ॥ ९ ॥

O Agni, Atharvan churned you forth from the lotus, from the head of all, from the priest who offers.

अ꣢ग्ने꣣ वि꣡व꣢स्व꣣दा꣡ भ꣢रा꣣स्म꣡भ्य꣢मू꣣त꣡ये꣢ म꣣हे꣢ ।
दे꣣वो꣡ ह्यसि꣢꣯ नो दृ꣣शे꣢ ॥ १० ॥

O Agni, bring to us the bright wealth for great protection; for you are a god for our sight.
