Sanskrit (Devanagari)

तवमग्ने वर्जिनवर्तनिं नरं सक्मन पिपर्षि विदथे विचर्षणे | यः शूरसाता परितक्म्ये धने दभ्रेभिश्चित सम्र्ताहंसि भूयसः

IAST Romanisation

tvamaghne vṛjinavartaniṃ naraṃ sakman piparṣi vidathe vicarṣaṇe | yaḥ śūrasātā paritakmye dhane dabhrebhiścit samṛtāhaṃsi bhūyasaḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Agni, thou savest in the synod when pursued e’en him, farseeing One! who walks in evil ways. Thou, when the heroes fight for spoil which men rush, round, slayest in war the many by the hands of few.
