Rig Veda
This verse is not included in this edition.
Great power is in the beam of light, sing praise to, Agni, to the God Whom men have set in foremost place like Mitra with their eulogies.
sa hi dyubhir janānāṃ hotā dakṣasya bāhvoḥ vi havyam agnir ānuṣag bhago na vāram ṛṇvati
He by the splendour of his arms is Priest of every able man. Agni conveys oblation straight, and deals, as Bhaga deals, his boons.
asya stome maghonaḥ sakhye vṛddhaśociṣaḥ viśvā yasmin tuviṣvaṇi sam arye śuṣmam ādadhuḥ
All rests upon the laud and love of him the rich, high-flaming God, On whom, loud-roaring, men have laid great strength as on a faithful friend.
adhā hy agna eṣāṃ suvīryasya maṃhanā tam id yahvaṃ na rodasī pari śravo babhūvatuḥ
So, Agni, be the Friend of these with liberal gift of hero strength. Yea, Heaven and Earth have not surpassed this Youthful One in glorious fame.
nū na ehi vāryam agne gṛṇāna ā bhara ye vayaṃ ye ca sūrayaḥ svasti dhāmahe sacotaidhi pṛtsu no vṛdhe
O Agni, quickly come to us, and, glorified, bring precious wealth. So we and these our princes will assemble for the good of all. Be near in fight to prosper us.
