O agni! You are the follower of the fast. May that brat-rearing body of yours become one with us. O fasting agni! Please follow the host of the Brahmins. Let us also be bratpati with you (like you). Som is dikshapati. Som is the sustainer of initiation. Let us unite with them. You are the master of tenacity. We are going to meditate. (By your grace) let us unite with you. (6)
