Griffith, [1896]\n1. WITH songs of praise we call on thee, we kindle thee with songs of praise,\n Agni, with songs of praise, for help.\n 2 Eager for wealth, we meditate Agni's effectual praise to-day,\n Praise of the God who touches heaven.\n 3 May Agni, Priest among mankind, take pleasure in our songs of praise,\n And worship the Celestial Folk.\n 4 Thou, Agni, art spread widely forth, Priest dear and excellent; through thee\n Men make the sacrifice complete.\n 5 Singers exalt thee, Agni, well lauded, best giver of our strength:\n So grant thou us heroic might.\n 6 Thou Agni, as the felly rings the spokes, encompassest the Gods.\n I yearn for bounty manifold.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN XIII.
