    Offer your pure oblation and hymns to Agni, whose radiance shines brightly. He is the messenger who, with knowledge, moves between all the worlds of gods and men.

    Let this Agni be wise and ever youthful. Since he was born, the youngest, from his mother, he swiftly binds the forests with his bright flames and consumes abundant food at once.

    Stanza 7.4.3

    अ॒स्य दे॒वस्य॑ सं॒सद्यनी॑के॒ यं मर्ता॑सः श्ये॒तं ज॑गृ॒भ्रे | नि यो गृभं॒ पौरु॑षेयीमु॒वोच॑ दु॒रोक॑म॒ग्निरा॒यवे॑ शुशोच ||

    Before this God's assembly, whom mortals have seized in his white brilliance, may we stand. He who has endured the grasp of human actions, Agni shines forth for our livelihood.

    This Agni is a seer among the unseeing, wise among the foolish, and has been established as the immortal one among mortals. May you, O victorious one, not harm us here; may we always be well-disposed towards you.

    Stanza 7.4.5

    आ यो योनिं॑ दे॒वकृ॑तं स॒साद॒ क्रत्वा॒ ह्य१॒॑ग्निर॒मृताँ॒ अता॑रीत् | तमोष॑धीश्च व॒निन॑श्च॒ गर्भं॒ भूमि॑श्च वि॒श्वधा॑यसं बिभर्ति ||

    He who has settled into the God-created dwelling, Agni, has indeed surpassed the immortals by his wisdom. He, unborn, supports the plants and trees, and the Earth, the universal sustainer.

    Stanza 7.4.6

    ईशे॒ ह्य१॒॑ग्निर॒मृत॑स्य॒ भूरे॒रीशे॑ रा॒यः सु॒वीर्य॑स्य॒ दातोः॑ | मा त्वा॑ व॒यं स॑हसावन्न॒वीरा॒ माप्स॑वः॒ परि॑ षदाम॒ मादु॑वः ||

    Indeed, Agni is lord of abundant immortality, and lord of the giver of wealth and heroic valor. O powerful one, may we not be without heroes, may we not sit around you without strength, nor without worship.

    Stanza 7.4.7

    प॒रि॒षद्यं॒ ह्यर॑णस्य॒ रेक्णो॒ नित्य॑स्य रा॒यः पत॑यः स्याम | न शेषो॑ अग्ने अ॒न्यजा॑तम॒स्त्यचे॑तानस्य॒ मा प॒थो वि दु॑क्षः ||

    pariṣádyaṁ hy áraṇasya rékṇo nítyasya rāyáḥ pátayaḥ syāma ná śéṣo agne anyájātam asty ácetānasya mā́ pathó ví dukṣaḥ

    May we be masters of our own, ever-lasting wealth, and not of the enemy's spoils. Agni, indeed, is not of external origin. O Agni, do not let our path diverge from the foolish.

    An unwelcome stranger is not to be taken as one's own, nor one of another's kin, even though he comes to be thought of with the mind. May our mighty, triumphant hero, newly radiant, come to us.
