of devotion for thee, with our feet , with our hands, with our bodies : (in those deeds of ours) the wise have held up the Rita, aspiring after it, like those who manage a chariot by means of the two polearms (?) %.
15. And may we be born from the Dawn, the mother, as the seven priests', as the first worshippers among men . May we be the Angiras, the sons of Heaven. May we flaming break the rock which contains the prize of the contests.
16. And as our first, ancient fathers, O Agni, were aspiring after Rita'--they attained to pure devotion”, chanting their litanies. Cleaving the earth they disclosed the red (cows).
17. The pious men, well performing the acts (of worship), resplendent, melting the generations of the gods 2 like ore, kindling Agni, strengthening Indra, went along 4, besieging the stall of cows.
18. He looked (on the gods) as on herds of cattle? in a rich (pasture)?, when the generations of the gods (were) near him, O mighty one & After (the generations) of the mortals the Urvasis * have pined, for the growing strong of the Arya 5, of the nearer Ayu .
19. We have done our work for thee; we have been good workers—the brilliant dawns have shone out Rita?,-brightening a the perfect Agni who manifoldly shines with fine splendour, (brightening) the god's beautiful eye.
20. We have recited these hymns for thee, the sage, O Agni, worshipper (of the gods)"; accept them! Blaze up; make us wealthier. Bestow great wealth on us, o bountiful one!
