6,7 Agni 
6.VII Agni 
mūrdhā́naṃ divó aratím pr̥thivyā́ vaiśvānarám r̥tá ā́ jātám agním |
kavíṃ samrā́jam átithiṃ jánānām āsánn ā́ pā́traṃ janayanta devā́ḥ || 
1 Him, messenger of earth and head of heaven, Agni Vaiśvānara, born in holy Order, The Sage, the King, the guest of men, a vessel fit for their mouths, the Gods have generated. 
nā́bhiṃ yajñā́nāṃ sádanaṃ rayīṇā́m mahā́m āhāvám abhí sáṃ navanta |
vaiśvānaráṃ rathíyam adhvarā́ṇāṃ yajñásya ketúṃ janayanta devā́ḥ || 
2 Him have they praised, mid-point of sacrifices, great cistern of libations, seat of riches. Vaiśvānara, conveyer of oblations, ensign of worship, have the Gods engendered. 
tuvád vípro jāyate vājī́ agne tuvád vīrā́so abhimātiṣā́haḥ |
vaíśvānara tuvám asmā́su dhehi vásūni rājan spr̥hayā́yiyāṇi || 
3 From thee, O Agni, springs the mighty singer, from thee come heroes who subdue the foeman. O King, Vaiśvānara, bestow thou on us excellent treasures worthy to belonged fo r. 
tuvā́ṃ víśve amr̥ta jā́yamānaṃ śíśuṃ ná devā́ abhí sáṃ navante |
táva krátubhir amr̥tatvám āyan vaíśvānara yát pitarór+ ádīdeḥ || 
4 To thee, Immortal! when to life thou springest, all the Gods sing for joy as to their infant. They by thy mental powers were made immortal, Vaiśvānara, when thou shonest from thy Parents. 
vaíśvānara táva tā́ni vratā́ni mahā́ni agne nákir ā́ dadharṣa |
yáj jā́yamānaḥ pitarór+ upásthe ávindaḥ ketúṃ vayúneṣu áhnām || 
5 Agni Vaiśvānara, no one hath ever resisted these thy mighty ordinances, When thou, arising from thy Parents' bosom, foundest the light for days' appointed courses. 
vaiśvānarásya vímitāni cákṣasā sā́nūni divó amŕ̥tasya ketúnā |
tásyéd u víśvā bhúvanā́dhi mūrdháni vayā́ iva ruruhuḥ saptá visrúhaḥ || 
6 The summits of the heaven are traversed through and through by the Immortal's light, Vaiśvānara's brilliancy. All creatures in existence rest upon his head. The Seven swift-flowing Streams have grown like branches forth, 
ví yó rájāṃsi ámimīta sukrátur vaiśvānaró ví divó rocanā́ kavíḥ |
pári yó víśvā bhúvanāni paprathé ádabdho gopā́ amŕ̥tasya rakṣitā́ || 
7 Vaiśvānara, who measured out the realms of air, Sage very wise who made the lucid spheres of heaven, The Undeceivable who spread out all the worlds, keeper is he and guard of immortality.
