तं नव्य॑सी हृ॒द आ जाय॑मानम॒स्मत् सु॑की॒र्तिर्मधु॑जिह्वमश्याः | यमृ॒त्विजो॑ वृ॒जने॒ मानु॑षास॒: प्रय॑स्वन्त आ॒यवो॒ जीज॑नन्त ||

May our fair praise, heart-born, most recent, reach him whose tongue, e’en at his birth, is sweet as honey; Whom mortal priests, men, with their strong endeavour, supplied with dainty viands, have created.

तं त्वा॑ व॒यं पति॑मग्ने रयी॒णां प्र शं॑सामो म॒तिभि॒र्गोत॑मासः | आ॒शुं न वा॑जम्भ॒रं म॒र्जय॑न्तः प्रा॒तर्म॒क्षू धि॒याव॑सुर्जगम्यात् ||

As such we Gotamas with hymns extol thee, O Agni, as the guardian Lord of riches, Decking thee like a horse, the swift prizewinner. May he, enriched with prayer, come soon and early.
