Preview of English translation:
4. “We know, O Agni, thy threefold three,”—Agni, Vayu (wind), Aditya (sun), these are his three in three forms;—“We know thy manifold scattered sites,”—inasmuch as he (Agni) is here distributed many ways;—“we know thy highest name which is in secret,”—“the youngest,” that indeed is his highest name in secret;—“we know that source whence thou art come;”—the source, doubtless, is the (heavenly) waters, for from the waters he first came.
