HYMN XIV Agni.

1. WITH reverence and with offered gifts serve we the God whose flame is bright:

Let us bring Jatavedas fuel, and adore Agni when we invoke the Gods.

2 Agni, may we perform thy rites with fuel, and honour thee, O Holy one, with praises:

Honour thee, Priest of sacrifice! with butter, thee, God of blessed light! with our oblation.

3 Come, Agni, with the Gods to our invoking, come, pleased, to offerings sanctified with Vasat.

May we be his who pays thee, God, due honour. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
