1. To Agni, Jatavedas, to the flame, the
well-enkindled God,
Offer thick sacrificial oil.
2 He, Narasamsa, ne'er beguiled,
inspiriteth this sacrifice:
For sage is he, with sweets in hand.
3 Adored, O Agni, hither bring Indra the
Wonderful, the Friend,
On lightly-rolling car to aid.
4 Spread thyself out, thou soft as wool The
holy hymns have sung to thee.
Bring gain to us, O beautiful!
5 Open yourselves, ye Doors Divine, easy of
access for our aid:
Fill, more and more, the sacrifice.
6 Fair strengtheners of vital power, young
Mothers of eternal Law,
Morning and Night we supplicate.
7 On the wind's flight come, glorified, ye
two celestial Priests of man
Come ye to this our sacrifice.
8 l! Sarasvati, Mahl, three Goddesses who
tring us weal,
Be seated harmless on the grass.
9 Rich in all plenty, Tvastar, come
auspicious of thine own accord
Help us in every sacrifice.
10 Vanaspati, wherever thou knowest the
Gods' mysterious names,
Send our oblations thitherward.
11 To Agni and to Varuna, Indra, the
Maruts, and the Gods,
With Svaha be oblation brought.
