4,12 Agni 
4.XII Agni 
yás tvā́m agna inádhate yatásruk trís te ánnaṃ kr̥ṇávat sásmin áhan |
sá sú dyumnaír abhí astu prasákṣat táva krátvā jātavedaś cikitvā́n || 
1 WHOSO enkindles thee, with lifted ladle, and thrice this day offers thee food, O Agni, May he excel, triumphant through thy splendours, wise through thy mental power, O Jātavedas. 
idhmáṃ yás te jabhárac chaśramāṇó mahó agne ánīkam ā́ saparyán |
sá idhānáḥ práti doṣā́m uṣā́sam púṣyan rayíṃ sacate ghnánn amítrān || 
2 Whoso with toil and trouble brings thee fuel, serving the majesty of mighty Agni, He, kindling thee at evening and at morning, prospers, and comes to wealth, and slays his foemen. 
agnír īśe br̥hatáḥ kṣatríyasya agnír vā́jasya paramásya rāyáḥ |
dádhāti rátnaṃ vidhaté yáviṣṭho ví ānuṣáṅ mártiyāya svadhā́vān || 
3 Agni is Master of sublime dominion, Agni is Lord of strength and lofty riches. Straightway the self-reliant God, Most Youthful, gives treasures to the mortal who adores him. 
yác cid dhí te puruṣatrā́ yaviṣṭha ácittibhiś cakr̥mā́ kác cid ā́gaḥ |
kr̥dhī́ ṣú asmā́m̐ áditer ánāgān ví énāṃsi śiśratho víṣvag agne || 
4 Most Youthful God, whatever sin, through folly, we here, as human beings, have committed, In sight of Aditi make thou us sinless remit, entirely, Agni, our offences. 
maháś cid agna énaso abhī́ka ūrvā́d devā́nām utá mártiyānām |
mā́ te sákhāyaḥ sádam íd riṣāma yáchā tokā́ya tánayāya śáṃ yóḥ || 
5 Even in the presence of great sin, O Agni, free us from prison of the Gods or mortals. Never may we who are thy friends be injured: grant health and strength unto our seed and offspring. 
yáthā ha tyád vasavo gauríyaṃ cit padí ṣitā́m ámuñcatā yajatrāḥ |
evó ṣú asmán muñcatā ví áṃhaḥ prá tāri agne prataráṃ na ā́yuḥ || 
6 Even as ye here, Gods Excellent and Holy, have loosed the cow that by the foot was tethered, So also set us free from this affliction long let our life, O Agni, be extended.
