vājī́ vā́jeṣu dhīyate adhvaréṣu prá ṇīyate |
vípro yajñásya sā́dhanaḥ || 
8 Strong, he is set on deeds ofstrength. In sacrifices led in front, As Singer he completes the rite. 
dhiyā́ cakre váreṇiyo bhūtā́nāṃ gárbham ā́ dadhe |
dákṣasya pitáraṃ tánā || 
9 Excellent, he was made by thought. The Germ of beings have I gained, Yea, and die Sire of active strength.

ágne sudītím uśíjam || 
10 Thee have I stablished, Excellent, O strengthened by the sage's prayer, Thee, Agni, longing, nobly bright.
