1. LET songs of ours speed Agni forth like a fleet courser in the race,
     And we will win each prize through him.
2. Agni the dart whereby we gain kine for ourselves with help from thee,-
     That send us for the gain of wealth.
3. O Agni, bring us wealth secure, vast wealth in horses and in kine:
     Oil thou the socket, turn the wheel.
4. O Agni, thou hast made the Sun, Eternal Star, to mount the sky,
     Bestowing light on living men.
5. Thou, Agni, art the people's light, best, dearest, seated in thy shrine:
     Watch for the singer, give him life.
