g Rich in milk are the plants [2],<br />
The milk of the shoot is rich in milk,<br />
With the milk of the milk of the waters,<br />
O Indra, do thou unite me.<br />
h O Agni, lord of vows, I shall perform this vow; may I accomplish it; may it be successful for me.<br />
i Agni, the priest, I summon hither;<br />
The gods worthy of sacrifice whom we invoke,<br />
Let these gods come in kindly mind;<br />
Let the gods enjoy this oblation of me.<br />
k Who yoketh thee? Let him yoke thee.<br />
l The potsherds for the cauldron [3],<br />
Which wise men collect,<br />
These are in Pusan's guardianship;<br />
Indra and Vayu set them free.<br />
m Unbroken is the cauldron, sprinkling abundantly,<br />
It hath returned to that whence it came;<br />
The kindling-wood, the Vedi, and all the enclosing-sticks<br />
Attend the life of the sacrifice.<br />
n The three and thirty threads that stretch,<br />
That maintain in security the sacrifice,<br />
Of these the broken one I restore; hail!<br />
Let the cauldron go to the gods.<br />

a Let Vaiçvanara with succour for us<br />
Come from afar,<br />
Agni through the hymn which brings (him).<br />
b The righteous Vaiçvanara,<br />
Lord of right and of light,<br />
The immortal cauldron we seek.'<br />
c A greater than the marvels of Vaiçvanara<br />
By his craftsmanship the sage hath performed alone;<br />
Magnifying both parents, sky and earth,<br />
Rich in seed, was Agni born.<br />
d Desired in the sky, Agni, desired on earth,<br />
Desired he entereth all the plants;<br />
Agni Vaiçvanara eagerly desired,<br />
May he by day [1] and night protect us from the foe.<br />
e In that, when born, O Agni, thou didst survey the worlds,<br />
Like a busy herd that goeth around his flock,<br />
Do thou, O Vaiçvanara, find a way for the Brahman;<br />
Do ye protect us ever with your blessings.<br />
f Thou, O Agni, blazing with light,<br />
Didst fill the firmament at thy birth;<br />
Thou, O Vaiçvanara, wise one, by thy might<br />
Didst free the gods from misfortune.'<br />
g O Agni, among our bountiful lords, preserve<br />
The lordship, uninjured, unageing, rich in heroes;<br />
May we win booty a hundred, a thousandfold,<br />
O Vaiçvanara [2], O Agni, through thy help.<br />
h May we enjoy the loving kindness of Vaiçvanara,<br />
For he is the king, the orderer of the worlds<br />
Hence born be discerneth all the (earth),<br />
Vaiçvanara vieth with the sun.<br />
