To our uplifted sacrifice, to Agni's tongue,<br />
Make for us good offering.<br />
i May the three goddesses sit on this strew,<br />
Ida, Sarasvati [2], Bharati, the great, being sung.<br />
k That seminal fluid of ours, wondrous,<br />
Abundant, may Tvastr release<br />
As increase of wealth with good heroes, as offspring to us.<br />
l O tree, let free,<br />
Bestowing with thyself among the gods;<br />
Let Agni as queller make ready the oblation.<br />
m O Agni, utter 'Hail!' O all-knower, over the oblation for Indra;<br />
May all the gods rejoice in this offering.<br />
n The golden germ first arose;<br />
Born he was the only lord of creation;<br />
He supporteth the earth and the sky [3]<br />
To what god shall we offer with oblation?<br />
o He that alone by his might is king<br />
Of the breathing, the winking world,<br />
Who is lord of these bipeds and quadrupeds;<br />
To what god shall we offer with oblation?<br />
p He who is giver of breath, giver of strength,<br />
Upon whose bidding all, even the gods, wait,<br />
Whose shadow is immortality and death;<br />
To what god shall we offer with oblation?<br />
He whose are these snowy mountains through his might,<br />
Whose they call the ocean with the Rasa [4],<br />
Whose two arms are these quarters;<br />
To what god shall we offer with oblation?<br />
r To whom the armies stablished<br />
Through his aid gazed with minds disturbed,<br />
Over whom on the rising of the sun it goeth;<br />
To what god shall we offer with oblation?<br />
s He by whom the dread earth and the sky were made firm,<br />
By whom the heaven was established, by whom the vault,<br />
Who is the measure of the region in the atmosphere;<br />
To what god shall we offer with oblation?<br />
t When the waters, the great ones, went<br />
Bearing all [5] strength, begetting Agni,<br />
Then one breath of the gods arose;<br />
To what god shall we offer with oblation?<br />
u He who in his might beheld the waters<br />
Bearing strength, begetting Agni,<br />
Who was the god alone over the gods;<br />
To what god shall we offer with oblation?<br />

a Purpose, Agni, impulse, hail! Mind, intellect, Agni, impulse, hail! Thought, knowledge, Agni,<br />

b Let every man choose the companionship<br />
Of the god who leadeth;<br />
