1. I offer respectful obeisance to Agni – the fire God, the purohita – the
divine priest of yajña –the sacrifice, the ṛtvīj – who adept at officiating
regularly Homa– the sacrifice ritual undertakings; the hotār – the
presenter of oblations to divine beings and the most generous rewarder
of Ratna – opulence (both material and spiritual in the form of wisdom,
peace, merit, faith etc.) to devotees.
2. O Agni, the divine one who was mediated upon and acclaimed by both
ancient and modern seers, bring other divine personalities here.
3. Agni, by your divine grace devotees obtains that nourishment, richness
or prosperity which increases day by day, which is also the source of
fame and progeny of heroic characteristics.
4. O Agni, the perfect sacrifice which you lead, that must reach to the
divine beings.
5. May Agni, the possessor of fruits in actions of yajña, is also truthful and
sublime. Devo – The divine person, come here with other divine
personalities.
6. O Agni, whatever blessing you bestow to your pious devotees. That is
indeed true essence of what fruit ultimately you reap, Aṅgiras (or as a
descendant of Angiras).
7. O Agni, dispeller of darkness, day by day, we approach thee with
reverence and devotion in our thinking at all times.
8. With appearance of the radiant flame, the protector of sacrifices (from
attack of evil spirit or affliction of negative energies) and the maintainer
of Rta – the truthfulness and eternal law, increase possession in thine
realm.
9. Like the relationship of father-son, be related and stay close with us in
love and benedictions of our well-being
