Griffith, [1896]\n1. To Agni, to this God of yours I sing aloud with utmost power.\n May he come to us with the Gods, and sit, best Offerer, on the grass.\n 2 The Holy, whose are earth and heaven, and succour waits upon his strength;\n Him men who bring oblations laud, and they who wish to gain, for grace.\n 3 He is the Sage who guides these men, Leader of sacred rites is he.\n Him your own Agni, serve ye well, who winneth and bestoweth wealth.\n 4 So may the gracious Agni grant most goodly shelter for our use;\n Whence in the heavens or in the floods he shall pour wealth upon our lands.\n 5 The singers kindle him, the Priest, Agni the Lord of tribes of men,\n Resplendent and without a peer through his own excellent designs.\n 6 Help us, thou Brahman, best of all invokers of the Gods in song.\n Beam, Friend of Maruts, bliss on us, O Agni, a most liberal God.\n 7 Yea, grant us treasure thousandfold with children and with nourishment,\n And, Agni, splendid hero strength, exalted, wasting not away.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 3: HYMN XIII.
