HYMN LXXVIII. Agni.

1. O JATAVEDAS, keen and swift, we Gotamas with sacred song exalt thee for thy glories' sake.

2 Thee, as thou art, desiring wealth Gotama worships with his song:

We laud thee for thy glories' sake.

3 As such, like Angiras we call on thee best winner of the spoil:

We laud thee for thy glories' sake.

4 Thee, best of Vrtra-slayers, thee who shakest off our Dasyu foes:

We laud thee for thy glories' sake.

5 A pleasant song to Agni we, sons of Rahugana, have sung:

We laud thee for thy glories' sake.
