उपास्महे अग्निं मन्द्रजिह्वम् ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Agnim Mandrajihvam Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Agni, sweet-voiced chanter of Vedic hymns;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
