Who, all-supporting, have enjoyed the earth as, twere a mother cow.

हव्या नोवक्षदानुषक
English:- Bring forth the God with song divine, being Jātavedas hitherward,
To bear our gifts at once to heaven.

रथो नयोरभीव्र्तो घर्णीवाञ्चेतति तमना
English:- He here, a God-devoted Priest, led forward comes to sacrifice.
Like a car covered for the road, he, glowing, knows, himself, the way.

अयमग्निरुरुष्यत्यम्र्तादिव जन्मनः |

English:- This Agni rescues from distress, as 'twere from the Immortal Race,
A God yet mightier than strength, a God who hath been made for life.
