RIGVEDA –BOOK 5-HYMN XIX. Agni.
1. ONE state begets another state: husk is made visible from husk: Within his Mother's side he speaks. 2 Discerning, have they offered gifts: they guard the strength that never wastes. To a strong fort have they pressed in. 3 Śvaitreya's people, all his men, have gloriously increased in might. A gold chain Bṛhaduktha wears, as, through this Soma, seeking spoil. 4 I bring, as ’twere, the longed-for milk, the dear milk of the Sister-Pair. Like to a caldron filled with food is he, unconquered, conquering all. 5 Beam of light, come to us in sportive fashion, finding thyself close to the wind that fans thee. These flames of his are wasting flames, like arrows keen-pointed, sharpened, on his breast.
