XI Agni

1. He hath appeared, best prosperer, in whom men lay their holy acts:

So may our songs of praise come nigh to Agni who was born to give the Arya strength.

2. Him before whom the people shrink when he performs his glorious deeds,

Him who wins thousands at the sacrifice, himself, that Agni, reverence with songs!

3. Agni of Divoddsa, God, comes forth like Indra in his might.

Rapidly hath he moved along his mother earth; he stands in high heaven's dwelling-place.
