l The Hotr hath sat him down in the place of the Hoty, wise,<br />
Glittering, shining, skilful,<br />
With vows and foresight undeceived, most wealthy,<br />
Bearing a thousand, pure-tongued Agni.<br />
m Sit thou down, thou art great,<br />
Burn [3] best servant of the gods;<br />
O Agni, pure one, send forth the ruddy smoke,<br />
O famous one, that can be seen afar.<br />
n Be born noble in the forefront of the days,<br />
Kind to the kindly, red in the woods;<br />
Bestowing seven jewels in every home<br />
Hath Agni sat him down as Hotr.<br />
[[4-1-4]]<br />
a May I Vayu, Matariçvan, unite<br />
The broken heart of thee that art outstretched<br />
To him who moveth with the expiration of the gods,<br />
With thee, O goddess, be Vasat.<br />
b Wellborn, with light,<br />
Guard and protector, thou hast sat on the heaven;<br />
O Agni, thy garment of many hues,<br />
Put on, O thou that dost abound in light.<br />
c Arise, thou of fair sacrifice,<br />
Aid us with thy divine radiance;<br />
Brilliant to behold, with mighty blaze,<br />
Do thou come hither, O Agni, in response to our prayers [1].<br />
d Arise erect to aid us,<br />
Like Savitr, the god;<br />
Erect to win the booty,<br />
When in contest we call on thee with the shining praisers.<br />
e Born, thou art the child of the two worlds,<br />
O Agni; a brilliant child distributed among the plants;<br />
A beauteous babe beyond the darkness outspread,<br />
Thou didst come thundering from thy mothers.<br />
f Be firm, of strong limbs,<br />
Swift, a mighty steed;<br />
Be broad, of kindly seat,<br />
Thou art the carrier of dust for Agni.<br />
g Be auspicious [2], for offspring<br />
Of men, O Angiras;<br />
Scorch not sky and earth,<br />
Nor the atmosphere, nor the trees.<br />
h Let the steed advance, thundering<br />
And resounding, the ass, the flier;<br />
Bearing Agni of the dust<br />
May he fall not before his day.<br />
i The ass, well yoked to your chariot,<br />
O ye strong ones, that thundereth,<br />
May he as swift envoy<br />
Bear hence Agni of the dust.<br />
k The strong, bearing the strong Agni,<br />
Germ of the waters, him of the ocean,<br />
O Agni, come hither, for enjoyment [3],<br />
As holy order and truth.<br />
