1. How shall we give to Agni? For him what Word accepted
by the Gods is spoken, for the lord of the brilliant flame? for
him who in mortals, immortal, possessed of the Truth, priest
of the oblation strongest for sacrifice, creates the gods?

2. He who in the sacrifices is the priest of the offering, full
of peace, full of the Truth, him verily form in you by your
surrenderings; when Agni manifests 1 for the mortals the
gods, he also has perception of them and by the mind offers
to them the sacrifice.

3. For he is the will, he is the strength, he is the effecter of
perfection, even as Mitra he becomes the charioteer of the
Supreme. To him, the first, in the rich-offerings the people
seeking the godhead utter the word, the Aryan people to the
fulfiller.
