वैश्वानरम् मनसाग्निꣳ निचाय्या हविष्मन्तो अनुषत्यꣳ स्वर्विदम् । सुदानुꣳ देवꣳ रथिरꣳ वसूयवो गीर्भी रण्वꣳ कुशिकासो हवामहे

vaiśvānaram manasāgniṁ nicāyyā haviṣmanto anuṣatyaṁ svarvidam | sudānuṁ devaṁ rathiraṁ vasūyavo gīrbhī raṇvaṁ kuśikāso havāmahe

Having perceived with the mind Agni Vaiśvānara, we, bearing oblations, desiring goods — we the Kuśikas — call with songs upon the truthful one, the finder of the sun, the bountiful god, the charioteer, the delightful one.

अश्वो न क्रन्दञ् जनिभिः सम् इध्यते वैश्वानरः कुशिकेभिर् युगे-युगे । स नो अग्निः सुवीर्यꣳ स्वश्व्यꣳ दधातु रत्नम् अमृतेषु जागृविः

aśvo na krandañ janibhiḥ sam idhyate vaiśvānaraḥ kuśikebhir yuge-yuge | sa no agniḥ suvīryaṁ svaśvyaṁ dadhātu ratnam amṛteṣu jāgṛviḥ

Neighing like a horse, he is kindled by the (kindling) women, Vaiśvānara, by the Kuśikas age after age. Let that Agni set for us the strength of heroes and of good horses, a treasure — he who is wakeful among the immortals.
