Griffith, [1896]\n1. As forth to sacrifice we go, a hymn to a hymn let us say,\n Who hears us even when afar;\n 2 Who, from of old, in carnage, when the people gathered, hath preserved\n His household for the worshipper.\n 3 And let men say, Agni is born, e\u2019en he who slayeth V\u1e5btra, he\n Who winneth wealth in every fight.\n 4 Him in whose house an envoy thou lovest to taste his offered gifts,\n And strengthenest his sacrifice,\n 5 Him, A\u1e45giras, thou Son of Strength, all men call happy in his God,\n His offerings, and his sacred grass.\n 6 Hitherward shalt thou bring these Gods to our laudation and to taste.\n These offered gifts, fair-shining One.\n 7 When, Agni, on thine embassage thou goest not a sound is heard of steed or straining of thy car.\n 8 Aided by thee uninjured, strong, one after other, goes he forth:\n Agni, the offerer forward steps.\n 9 And splendid strength, heroic, high, Agni, thou grantest from the Gods,\n Thou God, to him who offers gifts.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN LXXIV.
