1. Oh agni, whoever deva whom we praise, please make him satisfied with our offerings and bring him forth to us. Oh Deva, the one with divine qualities, you destroy the rakshasas (evils) and the thieves. Hence please bring them forth to us to the open.
2. Oh Deva, the one who resides in the heavenly abode in grandeur, the one who resides in the bodies of beings as the jatharagni (digestive fire), please accept the offerings(gritha and havis) from our sruva(a utensil used for offerings in homa), make the rakshasas and cruel hearted sad.
3. Oh agni, the divinely enriched one; along with indra please accept our offerings(havi and grtha). let you vanquish the rakshasas (evils); who eat every one , who roams around aimlessly hurting people.
4. In the beginning , let agni punishes the rakshas and then indra tries to wards them off. let the rakshasas whom are hurt by the agni and indra confess their identities and surrender themselves to us.
5. Oh agni, the embodiment of wisdom, let us see the valor of you. Oh agni the one who can be realized by sadhanas which needs extrasensory wisdom, as we say it to be, let you tell the evils not ever hurt us. Those rakshasas who are burned on our will let them come forth and reveal themselves to us.
6. Oh agni, the embodiment of wisdom, let you become our helping hand soon; as with your presence we will be able to realize our desires and can avoid catastrophe
Note: indra should be considered as the mind of beings. and rakshas as the evil thoughts of mind( context of antaryaga)
