As ’twere Some goodly treasure brought, as a gift, the glorious Monk, Banner of Offering, the good Protector, child of two births, the swiftly moving envoy.

Both Devas and men obey this Ruler's order, Devas who are worshipped, men who yearn and worship.

As Monk he takes his seat ere break of morning, House-Lord, adorable with men, ordainer.

May our fair praise, heart-born, most recent, reach him whose tongue, e’en at his birth, is sweet as honey. Whome mortal monks, men, with their stron endeavour, supplied with dainty offerings, have created.

Good to mankind, the yearning Purifier hath among men been placed as Monk choice-worthy. May Agni be our Friend, Lord of the Household, protector of the riches in the dwelling.

O Agni, as the guardian Lord of riches, decking thee like a horse, the swift prizewinner. May he, enriched with meditation, come soon and early.
