Griffith, [1896]\n1. CHASING with light our sin away, O Agni, shine thou wealth on us.\n May his light chase our sin away.\n 2 For goodly fields, for pleasant homes, for wealth we sacrifice to thee.\n May his light chase our sin away.\n 3 Best praiser of all these be he; foremost, our chiefs who sacrifice.\n May his light chase our sin away.\n 4 So that thy worshippers and we, thine, Agni, in our sons may live.\n May his light chase our sin away.\n 5 As ever-conquering Agni's beams of splendour go to every side,\n May his light chase our sin away.\n 6 To every side thy face is turned, thou art triumphant everywhere.\n May his light chase our sin away.\n 7 O thou whose face looks every way, bear us past foes as in a ship.\n May his light chase our sin away.\n 8 As in a ship, convey thou us for our advantage o\u2019er the flood.\n May his light chase our sin away.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN XCVII.
