3,20 Agni 
3.XX Agni 
agním uṣásam aśvínā dadhikrā́ṃ víuṣṭiṣu havate váhnir ukthaíḥ |
sujyótiṣo naḥ śr̥ṇuvantu devā́ḥ sajóṣaso adhvaráṃ vāvaśānā́ḥ || 
1 WITH lauds at break of morn the priest invoketh Agni, Dawn, Dadhikrās, and both the Aśvins. With one consent the Gods whose light is splendid, longing to taste our sacrifice, shall hear us. 
ágne trī́ te vā́jinā trī́ ṣadhásthā tisrás te jihvā́ r̥tajāta pūrvī́ḥ |
tisrá u te tanúvo devávātās tā́bhir naḥ pāhi gíro áprayuchan || 
2 Three are thy powers, O Agni, three thy stations, three are thy tongues, yea, many, Child of Order! Three bodies hast thou which the Gods delight in: with these protect our hymns with care unceasing. 
ágne bhū́rīṇi táva jātavedo déva svadhāvo amŕ̥tasya nā́ma |
yā́ś ca māyā́ māyínāṃ viśvaminva tuvé pūrvī́ḥ saṃdadhúḥ pr̥ṣṭabandho || 
3 O Agni, many are the names thou bearest, immortal, God, Divine, and Jātavedas. And many charms of charmers, All-Inspirer! have they laid in thee, Lord of true attendants! 
agnír netā́ bhága iva kṣitīnā́ṃ daívīnāṃ devá r̥tupā́ r̥tā́vā |
sá vr̥trahā́ sanáyo viśvávedāḥ párṣad víśvā́ti duritā́ gr̥ṇántam || 
4 Agni, like Bhaga, leads the godly people, he who is true to Law and guards the seasons. Ancient, all-knowing, he the Vṛtra-slayer shall bear the singer safe through every trouble. 
dadhikrā́m agním uṣásaṃ ca devī́m bŕ̥haspátiṃ savitā́raṃ ca devám |
aśvínā mitrā́váruṇā bhágaṃ ca vásūn rudrā́m̐ ādityā́m̐ ihá huve || 
5 I call on Savitar the God, on Morning, Bṛhaspati, and Dadhikrās, and Agni, On Varuṇa and Mitra, on the Aśvins, Bhaga, the Vasus, Rudras and Ādityas.
