5,17 Agni 
5.XVII Agni 
ā́ yajñaír deva mártiya itthā́ távyāṃsam ūtáye |
agníṃ kr̥té suadhvaré pūrúr īḷīta ávase || 
1 GOD, may a mortal call the Strong hither, with solemn rites, to aid, A man call Agni to protect when sacrifice is well prepared. 
ásya hí sváyaśastara āsā́ vidharman mányase |
táṃ nā́kaṃ citráśociṣam mandrám paró manīṣáyā || 
2 Near him thou seemest mightier still in native glory, set to hold Apart yon flame-hued vault of heaven, lovely beyond the thought of man. 
asyá vā́sā́ u arcíṣā yá ā́yukta tujā́ girā́ |
divó ná yásya rétasā br̥hác chócanti arcáyaḥ || 
3 Yea, this is by the light of him whom powerful song hath bound to act, Whose beams of splendour flash on high as though they sprang from heavenly seed. 
asyá krátvā vícetaso dasmásya vásu rátha ā́ |
ádhā víśvāsu háviyo agnír vikṣú prá śasyate || 
4 Wealth loads the Wonder-Worker's car through his, the very wise One's power. Then, meet to be invoked among all tribes, is Agni glorified. 
nṹ na íd dhí vā́riyam āsā́ sacanta sūráyaḥ |
ū́rjo napād abhíṣṭaye pāhí śagdhí suastáya utaídhi pr̥tsú no vr̥dhé || 
5 Now, too, the princes shall obtain excellent riches by our lips. Protect us for our welfare: lend thy succour, O thou Son of Strength. Be near in fight to prosper us.
