Let the years increase you, Agni, (and) the seasons, the annual rounds, the seers, whatever things are true. Shine out with the heavenly brightness; illumine all four quarters.

These brahmans choose you, Agni; be kindly to us, Agni, in the enclosing (shelter). Be a slayer of rivals, Agni, a vanquisher of plotters; watch in your own household, not slackening.

क्षत्रेणाग्ने स्वेन सं रभस्व मित्रेणाग्ने मित्रधा यतस्व । सजातानां मध्यमेष्ठा राज्ञाम् अग्ने विहव्यो दीदिहीह

With your own dominion, Agni, take hold; with an ally, Agni, as ally-maker, strive. Standing in the midst of your kinsmen, of kings, Agni, be one to be invoked in rivalry — shine here.

Past the revilings, past the failures, past the acts of unwisdom, past the hatreds: cross over all the difficulties, Agni, and then grant us wealth together with heroes.
