v-. 28-

14. Snatched (lup) out of ghee, anointed over with honey, fixing the earth, unmoved, rescuing, splitting [our] rivals, and putting them down, do thou ascend me in order to great good-fortune.

1. Joined in front, carry thou, O Jātavedas; know this, O Agni, as [it is] being done; thou art a physician (bhiṣáj), a maker of remedy (bheṣajá); by thee may we gain cow, horse, man (púruṣa).

2. So, O Agni, Jātavedas, do thou do this, in concord with all the gods: he who hath played [against] us, whosoever hath devoured (ghas) us, that this enclosure of his may fall.

3. That this enclosure of his may fall, so, O Agni, Jātavedas, do thou do that, in concord with all the gods.
