Griffith, [1896]\n1. THE God hath looked, even Agni J\u0101tavedas, to meet the Dawns refulgent in their glories.\n Come on your chariot, ye who travel widely, come to this sacrifice of ours, N\u0101satyas.\n 2 Producing light for all the world of creatures, God Savitar hath raised aloft his banner.\n Making his presence known by sunbeams, S\u016brya hath filled the firmament and earth and heaven.\n 3 Red Dawn is come, riding with brightness onward, distinguished by her beams, gay-hued and mighty.\n Dawn on her nobly-harnessed car, the Goddess, awaking men to happiness, approacheth.\n 4 May those most powerful steeds and chariot bring you, O A\u015bvins, hither at the break of morning.\n Here for your draught of meath are Soma juices: at this our sacrifice rejoice, ye Mighty.\n 5 How is it that, unbound and unsupported, he falleth not although directed downward?\n By what self-power moves he? Who hath seen it? He guards the vault of heaven, a close-set pillar?","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 4: HYMN XIV. Agni.","type":"page"}
