मूरा अमूर न वयꣳ चिकित्वो महित्वम् अग्ने त्वम् अङ्ग वित्से । शये वव्रिश् चरति जिह्वयादन् रेरिह्यते युवतिꣳ विश्पतिः सन्

We are without wit, you are witless in nothing, O attentive one; you yourself, Agni, indeed know (your) greatness. The covering lies (there); he moves about devouring with his tongue; being lord of the settlements he licks the young woman again and again.

Your formulation, O Jātavedas, and the homage, and this song — may it ever be a strengthening (for you). Guard for us our offspring and children, Agni, and guard our bodies, never slackening.
