RIGVEDA –BOOK 5-HYMN XIII. Agni.
1. WITH songs of praise we call on thee, we kindle thee with songs of praise, Agni, with songs of praise, for help. 2 Eager for wealth, we meditate Agni's effectual praise to-day, Praise of the God who touches heaven. 3 May Agni, Priest among mankind, take pleasure in our songs of praise, And worship the Celestial Folk. 4 Thou, Agni, art spread widely forth, Priest dear and excellent; through thee Men make the sacrifice complete. 5 Singers exalt thee, Agni, well lauded, best giver of our strength: So grant thou us heroic might. 6 Thou Agni, as the felly rings the spokes, encompassest the Gods. I yearn for bounty manifold.
