XVIII Agni

1. O Child of Strength, to thee whose look is lovely, with oblations we,

O Agni, have poured forth our songs.

2. To thee for shelter are we come, as to the shade from fervent heat,

Agni, who glitterest like gold

3. Mighty as one who slays with shafts, or like a bull with sharpened horn,

Agni, thou brakest down the forts.
