HYMN CLXXXVII. Agni.

1. To Agni send I forth my song, to him the Bull of all the folk:

So may he bear us past our foes.

2 Who from the distance far away shines brilliantly across the wastes:

So may he bear us past our foes.

3 The Bull with brightly-gleaming flame who utterly consumes the fiends

So may he bear us past our foes.

4 Who looks on all existing things and comprehends them with his view:

So may he bear us past our foes.

5 Resplendent Agni, who was born in farthest region of the air:

So may he bear us past our foes.
