तं पृ॑च्छता॒ स ज॑गामा॒ स वे॑द॒ स चि॑कि॒त्वाँ ई॑यते॒ सा न्वी॑यते । तस्मि॑न्त्सन्ति प्र॒शिष॒स्तस्मि॑न्नि॒ष्टय॒: स वाज॑स्य॒ शव॑सः शु॒ष्मिण॒स्पति॑: ॥ तं पृच्छता स जगामा स वेद स चिकित्वाँ ईयते सा न्वीयते । तस्मिन्त्सन्ति प्रशिषस्तस्मिन्निष्टयः स वाजस्य शवसः शुष्मिणस्पतिः ॥

तमित्पृ॑च्छन्ति॒ न सि॒मो वि पृ॑च्छति॒ स्वेने॑व॒ धीरो॒ मन॑सा॒ यदग्र॑भीत् । न मृ॑ष्यते प्रथ॒मं नाप॑रं॒ वचो॒ऽस्य क्रत्वा॑ सचते॒ अप्र॑दृपितः ॥ तमित्पृच्छन्ति न सिमो वि पृच्छति स्वेनेव धीरो मनसा यदग्रभीत् । न मृष्यते प्रथमं नापरं वचोऽस्य क्रत्वा सचते अप्रदृपितः ॥
They ask of Agni, but no one asks improperly; for a sensible man (replies to solicitation) as he has determined in his own mind; Agni tolerates not a speech that anticipates (his reply), nor endures a rejoinder; he who is devoid of arrogance is favoured by his protection.
