ENKINDLING the Immortal, wake Agni with song of praise: may he bear our oblations to the Gods.\n 2 At high solemnities mortal men glorify him the Immortal, best\n At sacrifice among mankind.\n 3 That he may bear their gifts to heaven, all glorify him Agni, God,\n With ladle that distilleth oil.\n 4 Agni shone bright when born, with light killing the Dasyus and the dark:\n He found the Kine, the Floods, the Sun.\n 5 Serve Agni, God adorable, the Sage whose back is balmed with oil:\n Let him approach, and hear my call.\n 6 They have exalted Agni, God of all mankind, with oil and hymns\n Of praise, devout and eloquent.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN XIV.
