Griffith, [1896]\n1 As \u2019twere Some goodly treasure M\u0101tari\u015bvan brought, as a gift, the glorious Priest to Bh\u1e5bgu,\n Banner of sacrifice, the good Protector, child of two births, the swiftly moving envoy.\n 2 Both Gods and men obey this Ruler's order, Gods who are worshipped, men who yearn and worship.\n As Priest he takes his seat ere break of morning, House-Lord, adorable with men, Ordainer.\n 3 May our fair praise, heart-born, most recent, reach him whose tongue, e\u2019en at his birth, is sweet as honey;\n Whom mortal priests, men, with their strong endeavour, supplied with dainty viands, have created.\n 4 Good to mankind, the yearning Purifier hath among men been placed as Priest choice-worthy.\n May Agni be our Friend, Lord of the Household, protector of the riches in the dwelling.\n 5 As such we Gotamas with hymns extol thee, O Agni, as the guardian Lord of riches,\n Decking thee like a horse, the swift prizewinner. May he, enriched with prayer, come soon and early.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN LX. Agni.","type":"page"}
