1. THY blessed majesty, victorious Agni,
shines brightly in the neighbourhood of Surya.
Splendid to see, it shows even at nighttime, and food is
fair to look on in thy beauty.
2 Agni, disclose his thought for him who
singeth, the well, Strong God! while thou art praised with fervour.
Vouchsafe to us that powerful hymn, O Mighty, which, Radiant
One! with all the Gods thou lovest.
3 From thee, O Agni, springs poetic wisdom,
from thee come thoughts and hymns of praise that prosper;
From thee flows wealth, with heroes to adorn it, to the
true-hearted man who gives oblation.
4 From thee the hero springs who wins the
booty, bringer of help, mighty, of real courage.
From thee comes wealth, sent by the Gods, bliss-giving;
Agni, from thee the fleet impetuous charger.
5 Immortal Agni, thee whose voice is
pleasant, as first in rank, as God, religious mortals
Invite with hyrnns; thee who removest hatred, Friend of the
Home, the household's Lord, unerring.
6 Far from us thou removest want and
sorrow, far from us all ill-will when thou protectest.
Son of Strength, Agni, blest is he at evening, whom thou as
God attendest for his welfare.
