1. BRING us most mighty splendour thou,
Agni, resistless on thy way.
With overflowing store of wealth mark out for us a path to
strength.
2 Ours art thou, wondrous Agni, bywisdom
and bounteousness of power.
The might of Asuras rests on thee, like Mitra worshipful in
act.
3 Agni, increase our means of life,
increase the house and home of these,
The men, the princes who have won great riches through our
hymns of praise.
4 Bright Agni, they who deck their songs for
thee have horses as their meed.
The men are mighty in their might, they whose high laud, as
that of heaven, awakes thee of its own accord.
5 O Agni, those resplendent flames of thine
go valorously forth,
Like lightnings flashing round us, like a rattling car that
seeks the spoil.
6 Now, Agni, come to succour us; let
priests draw nigh to offer gifts;
And let the patrons of our rites subdue all regions of the
earth.
7 Bring to us, Agni, Angiras, lauded of old
and lauded now,
Invoker! wealth to quell the strong, that singers may extol
thee. Be near us in fight for our success.
