Marvellous is the power to upbear of this young, this infant god, for he goes not to his two mothers to drink their milk, even though one without teats of plenty brought him to birth then as now, from the first he did his carrying, performing his mighty embassy.

Fire, verily, is established, a giver and mighty doer of works, he clings to the trees with his blazing tusks achieving the pilgrim-sacrifice with his besieging tongue of flame, he is like a snorting bull, master in his pasturage.

āsā́ váhnim ná śocíṣā vi-rapśínam máhi-vratam ná sarájantam ádhvanaḥ ǁ
He is to you like a bird settled on a tree, like the divine-moon-flow of the Soma-plant, like a clamorous spreading ocean; he is as one who carries in his mouth of flame, exuberant in strength, mighty in the way of his works, rushing on his paths.
10.115.4
वि यस्य॑ ते ज्रयसा॒नस्या॑जर॒ धक्षो॒र्न वाताः॒ परि॒ संत्यच्यु॑ताः ।

O ageless Fire, when thou rangest the spaces in thy will to burn, there are all around thee as if unsinking winds like joyful fighters, having the command for the seeking they march towards the warrior of the triple world1.

agníḥ pātu gṛṇatáḥ agníḥ sūrī́n agníḥ dadātu téṣām ávaḥ naḥ ǁ
This is the Fire, friend of the seer, himself the greatest of seers, who delivers from the inner foe; may Fire guard the speakers of the word, Fire the illumined seers, may he give his protection to them and to us.

वा॒जिंत॑माय॒ सह्य॑से सुपित्र्य तृ॒षु च्यवा॑नो॒ अनु॑ जा॒तवे॑दसे ।

anudré cit yáḥ dhṛṣatā́ váram saté mahín-tamāya dhánvanā ít aviṣyaté ǁ
O high-born, thou art he who moves swiftly in the wake of the knower of all things born, the Fire forceful and most full of the plenitude and even in the waterless desert for him who is there and desires it and is full of greatness, winnest by the violence of thy bow that which is supreme.
10.115.7

Thus have extolled thee, O Fire, the sons of Vrishtihavya, the Upastuta Rishis3; protect them and the illuminates who speak the word, rising on high they have attained with the cry of vaṣaṭ, vaṣaṭ, with the cry of obeisance.
