Rig Veda

  1. O AGNI, Holy and Divine, with splendour and thy pleasant tongue Bring hither and adore the Gods. 2 We pray thee, thou who droppest oil, bright-rayed! who lookest on the Sun, Bring the Gods hither to the feast. 3 We have enkindled thee, O Sage, bright caller of the Gods to feast. O Agni, great in Sacrifice. 4 O Agni, come with all the Gods, come to our sacrificial gift: We choose thee as Invoking Priest. 5 Bring, Agni, to the worshipper who pours the juice, heroic strength: Sit with the Gods upon the grass. 6 Victor of thousands, Agni, thou, enkindled, cherishest the laws, Laud-worthy, envoy of the Gods. 7 Set Agni Jātavedas down, the bearer of our sacred gifts, MostYouthful, God and Minister. 8 Duly proceed our sacrifice, comprising all the Gods, to-day: Strew holy grass to be their seat. 9 So may the Maruts sit thereon, the Aśvins, Mitra, Varuṇa: The Gods with all their company.
