Griffith, [1896]\n1. RESPLENDENT with thy wide-extending lustre, dispel the terrors of the fiends who hate us\n May lofty Agni be my guide and shelter, the easily-invoked, the good Protector.\n 2 Be thou To us, while now the morn is breaking, be thou a guardian when the Sun hath mounted..\n Accept, as men accept a true-born infant, my laud, O Agni nobly born in body.\n 3 Bull, who beholdest men, through many mornings, among the dark ones shine forth red, O Agni.\n Lead us, good Lord, and bear us over trouble: Help us who long, Most Youthful God, to riches.\n 4 Shine forth, a Bull invincible, O Agni, winning by conquest all the forts and treasures,\n Thou J\u0101tavedas who art skilled in guiding, the chief high saving sacrifice's Leader.\n 5 Lighting Gods hither, Agni, wisest Singer, bring thou to us many and flawless shelters.\n Bring vigour, like a car that gathers booty: bring us, O Agni, beauteous Earth and Heaven.\n 6 Swell, O thou Bull and give those powers an impulse, e\u2019en Earth and Heaven who yield their milk in plenty,\n Shining, O God, with Gods in clear effulgence. Let not a mortal's evil will obstruct us.\n 7 Agni, as holy food to thine invoker, give wealth in cattle, lasting, rich in marvels.\n To us be born a son and spreading offspring. Agni, be this thy gracious will to us-ward.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 3: HYMN XV. Agni.","type":"page"}
