O! Adorable Lord, put forth your vigour, as a hunter speeds his capacious snare, and go like a
mighty king on his elephant with his attendants. You are the scatterer of dark forces. May you
swiftly follow and transfix the miscreants with your dart that burns more fiercely. (1)

O! Divine fire, your swift and whirling flames move quickly. Glowing in your fury, may
consume (the foe). O! Fire divine, (when oblations are) offered by ladle, may you cast
scorching flames, sparks and fire brands all around you. (2)

O! Fire divine, may you with your most rapid motion direct your radiant flames all around
and un-resisted become the protector of your people. Let no malevolent miscreant, whether
far away or close by, prevail against us, your worshippers. (3)

Rise up, O! Sharp weaponed divine fire! Spread wide your flames. Entirely consume the
miscreants, unfriendly to us. O! Blazing fire-divine! Burn down that one like a piece of dry
wood, who acts as an enemy towards us. (4)

Rise up, O! Divine fire! Chastise those who overpower us. Manifest your divine energies.
Slacken the strong bowstrings of the malignant foes. Destroy those who are hostile, whether
friend or alien. (5)
