उपास्महे अग्निं तिग्मजम्भम् ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Agnim Tigmajambham Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Agni, keen-jawed destroyer of impurity;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
