RIGVEDA –BOOK 5-HYMN XXII. Agni.
1. LIKE Atri, Viśvasāman! sing to him of purifying light, Who must be praised in holy rites, the Priest most welcome in the house. 2 Set Jātavedas in his place, Agni the God and Minister. Let sacrifice proceed to-day duly, comprising all the Gods. 3 All mortals come to thee for aid, the God of most observant mind. Of thine excelling favour we bethink us as we long for it. 4 Mark with attention this our speech, O Agni, thou victorious One. Thee, Strong-jawed! as the homestead's Lord, the Atris with their lauds exalt, the Atris beautify with songs.
