Rig Veda 7.15

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Offer oblations in his mouth, the bounteous God's whom we must serve. His who is nearest kin to us:

2
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Who for the Fivefold People's take hath seated him in every home Wise, Youthful, Master of the house.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

On all sides may that Agni guard our household folk and property; May he deliver us from woe.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

I have begotten this new hymn for Agni, Falcon of the sky: Will he not give us of his wealth?

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Whose glories when he glows in front of sacrifice are fair to see, Like wealth of one with hero sons.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

May he enjoy this hallowed gift, Agni accept our songs, who bears Oblations, best of worshippers.

7
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Lord of the house, whom men must seek, we set thee down, O Worshipped One Bright, rich in heroes, Agni! God

8
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Shine forth at night and morn: through thee with fires are we provided well. Thou, rich in heroes, art our Friend.

9
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

The men come near thee for their gain, the singers with their songs of praise: Speech, thousand fold, comes near to thee.

10
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Bright, Purifier, meet for praise, Immortal with refulgent glow, Agni drives Rakshasas away.

11
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

As such, bring us abundant wealth, young Child of Strength, for this thou canst May Bhaga give us what is choice.

12
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Thou, Agni, givest hero fame: Bhaga and Savitar the God, And Did give us what is good.

13
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Agni, preserve us from distress: consume our enemies, O God, Eternal, with the hottest flames.

14
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

And, irresistible, be thou a mighty iron fort to us, With hundred walls for man's defense.

15
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Do thou preserve us, eve and morn, from sorrow, from the wicked men, Infallible! by day and night.
