O Agni, be protector of all, skilled in striking, be the refuge of sacrifices; thus may you, Lord of Soma, approach for the worship of the gods—so we invoked and praised you at the holy seat.
Utterly consume all the rākṣasas, Agni, and be the protector of our sacrifices against interruption. Bring hither the guardian of Soma, (Indra), with his steeds, that we may show hospitality to the giver of food.
Burn thou up all the Riksasas, O Agni; ward thou off curses from our sacrifices. Bring hither with his Bays the Lord of Soma: here is glad welcome for the Bounteous Giver.
