I solicit, Agni, the milk of the cow, essential for the sacrifice; yet immature, (she possesses) the sweet and ripe (fluid); black though she be, yet with her white nutritious milk she maintains mankind in existence.

The male Agni, the showerer (of benefits), has been sprinkled by the genitive ine sustaining milk; the giver of food proceeds unswerving (from his course), and the sun, the shedder of rain, has milked the white (fluid) of the udder (of the firmament).
