Bring forward for yourselves, for the bright radiance, for Agni, the oblation and a well-purified thought — (for him) who goes with knowledge among all births, divine and human.

Let that Agni be skilled even while young, from the moment the youngest one was born of his mother; he who, bright-toothed, seizes upon the woods and at once eats up food in plenty.

In the assembly, in the presence of this god, whom mortals have grasped as the white one; who has declared himself for the human grip — Agni has blazed, hard to dwell with, for Āyu.

ईशे ह्य् अ१ग्निर् अमृतस्य भूरेर् ईशे रायः सुवीर्यस्य दातोः । मा त्वा वयꣳ सहसावन्न् अवीरा माप्सवः परि षदाम मादुवः

For Agni rules over abundant immortality, he rules over wealth, over the giving of good manhood. May we not sit about you, O powerful one, without heroes, without comeliness, without homage.

RV 7 4.7

परिषद्यꣳ ह्य् अरणस्य रेक्णो नित्यस्य रायः पतयः स्याम । न शेषो अग्ने अन्यजातम् अस्त्य् अचेतानस्य मा पथो वि दुक्षः

pariṣadyaṁ hy araṇasya rekṇo nityasya rāyaḥ patayaḥ syāma | na śeṣo agne anyajātam asty acetānasya mā patho vi dukṣaḥ

For a stranger's inherited wealth is only to be sat beside: may we be masters of our own lasting riches. What is born of another is not offspring, Agni; do not spoil the paths of the unheeding man.

For the stranger is not to be grasped as kindly, nor is one from another womb to be thought of with the mind. And yet he does go back to his home. Let our prize-winner come, victorious, ever new.

Shine these good fortunes upon us, Agni; may we also attain a well-minded resolve. Let all (blessings) be for the praisers and for the singer. Do you (gods) always protect us with your blessings.
