To bear the oblation [1].<br />
e O Agni of kindly aspect, do thou with the All-gods<br />
Sit first on the birthplace made of wool,<br />
Nest-like, rich in ghee, for Savitr<br />
Do thou lead well the sacrifice, for the sacrificer.<br />
f Sit thou, O Hotr, in thine own world, wise,<br />
Place thou the sacrifice in the birthplace of good deeds<br />
Eager for the gods, do thou sacrifice to them with oblation;<br />
O Agni, bestow great strength on the sacrificer.<br />
g The Hotr hath sat him down in the place of the Hotr wise,<br />
Glittering, shining, skilful,<br />
With vows and foresight undeceived, most wealthy,<br />
Bearing a thousand, pure-tongued Agni.<br />
h Thou art the envoy, thou [2] our guardian,<br />
Thou, O bull, leadest us to better fortune;<br />
0 Agni, be thou the guardian of our offspring, our descendants<br />
In their bodies, unfailing and radiant.<br />
i To thee, O god Savitr,<br />
Lord of things delightful,<br />
We come for fortune, O thou of constant help.<br />
k May the great ones, sky and earth,<br />
Mingle for us this sacrifice,<br />
May they sustain us with support.<br />
l Thee, O Agni, from the lotus<br />
Atharvan passed out,<br />
From the head of every priest.<br />
m Thee [3] the sage, Dadhyañc,<br />
Son of Atharvan, doth kindle,<br />
Slayer of Vrtra, destroyer of forts.<br />
n Thee Pathya Vrsan doth kindle,<br />
Best slayer of foes,<br />
Winner of booty in every conflict.<br />
o Let men say too,<br />
'Agni hath been born, slayer of Vrtra,<br />
Winning booty in every conflict.'<br />
p Whom, like a quoit in their bands,<br />
Like a child at birth, they bear,<br />
Agni, fair sacrificer of the folk.<br />
q Bring forward the god, best finder of riches,<br />
For offering to the gods;<br />
May he sit down in his own birthplace [4].<br />
r In the all-knower cause to rest<br />
The dear guest on birth,<br />
In a pleasant place, the lord of the house.<br />
s By Agni is Agni kindled,<br />
The wise, the young, the lord of the house,<br />
The bearer of the oblation, with ladle in his mouth.<br />
t Thou, O Agni, by Agni,<br />
The sage by the sage, the good by the good,<br />
The comrade by the comrade, art kindled.<br />
u Him they make bright, the wise,<br />
Victorious in the contests,<br />
Strong in his abodes.<br />
v By the sacrifice the gods sacrificed the sacrifice;<br />
