Rig Veda

  1. BRING song and hymn to Agni, Asura-slayer, enlightener of all and thought-bestower. Like an oblation on the grass, to please him, I bring this to Vaiśvānara, hymn-inspirer. 2 Thou with thy flame, O Agni, brightly glowing, hast at thy birth filled full the earth and heaven. TIOU with thy might, Vaiśvānara Jātavedas, settest the Gods free frodi the curse that bound them. 3 Agni, when, born thou lookedst on all creatures, like a brisk herdsman moving round his cattle. The path to prayer, Vaiśvānara, thou foundest. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
