त्वं नो॑ अ॒स्या उ॒षसो॒ व्यु॑ष्टौ॒ त्वं सूर॒ उदि॑ते बोधि गो॒पाः । जन्मे॑व॒ नित्यं॒ तन॑यं जुषस्व॒ स्तोमं॑ मे अग्ने त॒न्वा॑ सुजात ॥

English translation:
“Consider yourself our protector at the breaking of the dawn today and when the sun has risen; Agni, who is engendered with (embodied) form, be plural ased with my constant praise, as a father (is plural ased with) his son.”

When the sun has risen: some perform the worship of fire before the sun-rise, some after the sun has risen; with (embodied) form: tanvā sujātaḥ, well-born with a body, i.e. with flames; or, it may mean self-born, svayambhu; as a father: janmeva tanayam, yathā pitā putram sevate, janma, being put for janaka
