Agni, bring hitherward the Gods whose Laws we love, whose laws we love, to show us grace. 4 Agni the God was made the great High-Priest of Gods, Ṛṣis have kindled Agni, men of mortal mould. Agni I invocate for winning ample wealth. kindly disposed for winning wealth. 5 Atri and Bharadvāja and Gavisthira, Kaṇva and Trasadasyu, in our fight he helped.
