1. AGNI,
life-power and fame are thine: thy fires blaze mightily, thou rich in wealth of
beams!
Sage, passing bright, thou
givest to the worshipper, with strength, the food that merits laud.
2 With
brilliant, purifying sheen, with perfect sheen thou liftest up thyself in
light.
Thou, visiting both thy
Mothers, aidest them as Son: thou joinest close the earth and heaven.
3 O Jatavedas,
Son of Strength, rejoice ihyself, gracious, in our fair hymns and songs.
In thee are treasured various
forms of strengthening food, born nobly and of wondrous help.
4 Agni, spread
forth, as Ruler, over living things: give wealth to us, Immortal God.
Thou shinest out from beauty
fair to look upon: thou leadest us to conquering power.
5 To him, the
wise, who orders sacrifice, who hath great riches un der his control,
Thou givest blest award of
good, and plenteous food, givest him wealth that conquers all.
6 The men have
set before them them for their welfare Agni, strong, visible to all, the Holy.
Thee, Godlike One, with ears to
hear, most famous, men's generations magnify with praise-songs.
