Rig Veda 2.6

imām me agne samidham imām upasadaṃ vaneḥ imā u ṣu śrudhī giraḥ

Agni, accept this flaming brand, this waiting with my prayer on thee: Hear graciously these songs of praise.

ayā te agne vidhemorjo napād aśvamiṣṭe enā sūktena sujāta

With this hymn let us honour thee, seeker of horses, Son of Strength, With this fair hymn, thou nobly born.

taṃ tvā gīrbhir girvaṇasaṃ draviṇasyuṃ draviṇodaḥ saparyema saparyavaḥ

As such, lover of song, with songs, wealth-lover, giver of our wealth! With reverence let us worship thee.

sa bodhi sūrir maghavā vasupate vasudāvan yuyodhy asmad dveṣāṃsi

Be thou for us a liberal Prince, giver and Lord of precious things. Drive those who hate us far away.

sa no vṛṣṭiṃ divas pari sa no vājam anarvāṇam sa naḥ sahasriṇīr iṣaḥ

Such as thou art, give rain from heaven, give strength which no man may resist: Give food exceeding plentiful.

īḍānāyāvasyave yaviṣṭha dūta no girā yajiṣṭha hotar ā gahi

To him who lauds thee, craving help, most youthful envoy! through our song, Most holy Herald! come thou nigh.

This verse is not included in this edition.

Between both races, Agni, Sage, well skilled thou passest to and fro, As envoy friendly to mankind.

sa vidvāṁ ā ca piprayo yakṣi cikitva ānuṣak ā cāsmin satsi barhiṣi

Befriend us thou as knowing all. Sage, duly worship thou the Gods, And seat thee on this sacred grass.
