Griffith, [1896]\n1. YOUR envoy who possesses all, Immortal, bearer of your gifts,\n Best worshipper, I woo with song.\n 2 He, Mighty, knows the gift of wealth, he knows the deep recess of heaven:\n He shall bring hitherward the Gods.\n 3 He knows, a God himself, to guide Gods to the righteous in his home:\n He gives e\u2019en treasures that we love.\n 4 He is the Herald: well-informed, he doth his errand to and fro,\n Knowing the deep recess of heaven.\n 5 May we be they who gratify Agni with sacrificial gifts,\n Who cherish and enkindle him.\n 6 Illustrious for wealth are they, and hero deeds, victorious,\n Who have served Agni reverently.\n 7 So unto us, day after day, may riches craved by many come,\n And power and might spring up for us.\n 8 That holy Singer in his strength shoots forth his arrows swifter than\n The swift shafts of the tribes of men.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 4: HYMN VIII.
