Encompassing the seven planes, O immortal, giving to the giver, to the doer of good deeds, grow great2; O Fire, with riches full of hero-strength crowding on him, accept the man who has come to thee with the fuel.

The Vasishthas called thee within them; full of plenitude, voicing the Fire, ordainers of works in the discoverings of knowledge; uphold the increasing of the riches in the doers of the sacrifice, do you ever guard us with all kinds of weal.
