Griffith, [1896]\n1. SET this our sacrifice among the Immortals: be pleased with these our presents, J\u0101tavedas.\n O Priest, O Agni, sit thee down before us, and first enjoy the drops of oil and fatness.\n 2 For thee, O Purifier, flow the drops of fatness rich in oil.\n After thy wont vouchsafe to us the choicest boon that Gods may feast.\n 3 Agni, Most Excellent! for thee the Sage are drops that drip with oil.\n Thou art enkindled as the best of Seers. Help thou the sacrifice.\n 4 To thee, O Agni, mighty and resistless, to thee stream forth the drops of oil and fatness.\n With great light art thou come, O praised by poets! Accept our offering, O thou Sage.\n 5 Fatness exceeding rich, extracted from the midst,\u2014this as our gift we offer thee.\n Excellent God, the drops run down upon thy skin. Deal them to each among the Gods.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 3: HYMN XXI. Agni.","type":"page"}
