XII Agni

1. O Agni thou who art the Lord of wealth in kine, thou Son of Strength,

Bestow on us, O Jatavedas, high renown

2. He, Agni, kindled, good and wise, must be entreated with a. song;

Shine, thou of many forms, shine thou with wealth on us

3. And, Agni, shining of thyself by night and when the morning breaks,

Burn, thou whose teeth are sharp, against the Rakshasas
