Aṅgirases

You, O Agni, became the first among the Aṅgirases — a seer, a god, an auspicious friend of the gods.

O Agni, O Aṅgiras, as [you dwelt] with Manu, as with the Aṅgirases, as with Yayāti in the seat of old, O bright one — come hither, bring the divine folk, seat them on the sacred grass, and worship what is dear.

You, O Agni, most foremost of the Aṅgirases, as a seer you adorn the ordinance of the gods.

He whose in-breath and out-breath is the wind, whose eyes became the Aṅgirases — who made the directions his cognizing faculty — to that greatest Brahman, homage.

Whose head is Vaiśvānara, whose eyes the Aṅgirases became;

] May he not be released from the nooses of the descendants of the Aṅgirases.

From here they rose up, climbing the back of heaven, climbing upward.

He rose up, drove toward the Aṅgirases, making manifest those who were hidden.

With what praise, O Agni Aṅgiras, O grandson of vigour, does one extol you?
