Oh Lord Agni! Who so ever invokes your noble name respectfully
and offers ghee you are willing to accept it.
When you accept the worshiper’s offering you bless him to beget sons and daughters.
If you accept more than once the worshiper gains vitality,
grows in all dimensions and lives contented.
Please be benevolent to us, your worshipers.
You are the most desirable guest to be at home.
Be kind to stay with us and rule our lives.

Commentary:

Regular worship of Fire with devotion pleases the Lord Agni. When the Lord is pleased the flame of fire appears with brilliance; the flame shows up variety of colours and also moves up dancing. Dancing flames but not fierce ones are indicative that the Lord Agni is present in the flame accepting the offering. When the offering is accepted, doors would be opened for good luck. Lord Agni tactfully burns up the Karma that causes obstructions and leads the worshiper to live a contented and joyful life. Even after such contentment and joy when one continues to worship with devotion the Lord stays within the body and causes transformations to enable the worshiper to gain the body of Light. The desirable guest at home means the Presence of Lord Agni within ones being.
