VASU, thou most youthful God, Bh\u0101rata, Agni, bring us wealth,\n Excellent, splendid, much-desired.\n 2 Let no malignity prevail against us, either God's or man's.\n Save us from this and enmity.\n 3 So through thy favour may we force through all our enemies a way,\n As \u2019twere through streaming water-floods.\n 4 Thou, Purifier Agni, high shinest forth, bright, adorable,\n When worshipped with the sacred oil.\n 5 Ours art thou, Agni, Bh\u0101rata, honoured by us with barren cows,\n With bullocks and with kine in calf\n 6 Wood-fed, bedewed with sacred oil, ancient, Invoker, excellent,\n The Son of Strength, the Wonderful.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 2: HYMN VII.
