अ॒भीमृ॒तस्य॑ दो॒हना॑ अनूषत॒ योनौ॑ दे॒वस्य॒ सद॑ने॒ परी॑वृताः । अ॒पामु॒पस्थे॒ विभृ॑तो॒ यदाव॑स॒दध॑ स्व॒धा अ॑धय॒द्याभि॒रीय॑ते ॥ अभीमृतस्य दोहना अनूषत योनौ देवस्य सदने परीवृताः । अपामुपस्थे विभृतो यदावसदध स्वधा अधयद्याभिरीयते ॥
The drops of rain, enveloped (by the solar rays), are renewed in the dwelling of the divine (sun), their birth-plural ce; when he, (Agni), abides cherished on the lap of the waters, then (the world) drinks the nectareous (rain), with which he, (as the lightning), associates.

युयू॑षत॒: सव॑यसा॒ तदिद्वपु॑: समा॒नमर्थं॑ वि॒तरि॑त्रता मि॒थः । आदीं॒ भगो॒ न हव्य॒: सम॒स्मदा वोळ्हु॒र्न र॒श्मीन्त्सम॑यंस्त॒ सार॑थिः ॥ युयूषतः सवयसा तदिद्वपुः समानमर्थं वितरित्रता मिथः । आदीं भगो न हव्यः समस्मदा वोळ्हुर्न रश्मीन्त्समयंस्त सारथिः ॥
The two (priests, the hotī and adhvaryu), of equal honour, and alike assiduous, labouring mutually for a common object, combine the form of Agni (with their respective functions); whereupon he to whom the oblation is to be offered, collects the drops (of clarified butter), as Bhaga (accepts the worship of all), or as a charioteer (gathers the reins of the horses) that draw (the car).

यमीं॒ द्वा सव॑यसा सप॒र्यत॑: समा॒ने योना॑ मिथु॒ना समो॑कसा । दिवा॒ न नक्तं॑ पलि॒तो युवा॑जनि पु॒रू चर॑न्न॒जरो॒ मानु॑षा यु॒गा ॥ यमीं द्वा सवयसा सपर्यतः समाने योना मिथुना समोकसा । दिवा न नक्तं पलितो युवाजनि पुरू चरन्नजरो मानुषा युगा ॥

The ten fingers intertwined propitiate that divine (Agni), whom we mortals invoke for protection; he darts (his rays) like swift (arrows) from a bow, and accepts the new praises (uttered) by those who crowd round the altar.
