पर वो यह्वं पुरूणां विशां देवयतीनाम |
अग्निं सूक्तेभिर्वचोभिरीमहे यं सीमिदन्य ईळते ||
pra vo yahvaṃ purūṇāṃ viśāṃ devayatīnām |
aghniṃ sūktebhirvacobhirīmahe yaṃ sīmidanya īḷate ||
WITH words sent forth in holy hymns, Agni we supplicate, the Lord
Of many families who duly serve the Gods, yea, him whom others also praise.
我們用神聖的讚美詩發出的話，Agni(阿耆尼)，我們懇求，許多家庭的主，他們適當地侍奉眾神，是的，其他人也讚美他。
喻：
作為博學的人，確定知道無所不在的上帝的屬性，教導他人關於他並敦促他們榮耀他，所以我們也彰顯他的榮耀和屬性。正如上帝通過火和其他物質的創造和保存來賜予眾生幸福一樣，同樣，我們也應該努力使眾生幸福。這個你應該很清楚
