1 ACCEPT our loudest-sounding hymn, food most delightful to the Gods, Pouring our offerings in thy mouth. 2 Now, Agni, will we say to thee, O wisest and best Aṅgiras, Our precious, much-availing prayer. 3 Who, Agni, is thy kin, of men? who is thy worthy worshipper? On whom dependent? who art thou? 4 The kinsman, Agni, of mankind, their well beloved Friend art thou, A Friend whom friends may supplicate. 5 Bring to us Mitra, Varuṇa, bring the Gods to mighty sacrifice. Bring them, O Agni, to thine home.
