For successful sacrifice

English · William Dwight Whitney

For successful sacrifice

Thou, O Agni, art protector of vows among gods (?), among mortals; thou art to be praised at the sacrifices.

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

If we, O gods, detract from (pra-mī) your [ordained] courses—we that are very unknowing, of you that are knowing—let Agni the all-devouring fill that up, knowing, and the soma that has entered the Brahmans.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

We have come unto the road of the gods, to convey (vah) along forward what we may be able; Agni [is] knowing; he shall make offering; he verily is hótar; he shall arrange the sacrifices (adhvará), he the seasons.
