Griffith, [1896]\n1. GREAT power is in the beam of light, sing praise to, Agni, to the God\n Whom men have set in foremost place like Mitra with their eulogies.\n 2 He by the splendour of his arms is Priest of every able man.\n Agni conveys oblation straight, and deals, as Bhaga deals, his boons.\n 3 All rests upon the laud and love of him the rich, high-flaming God,\n On whom, loud-roaring, men have laid great strength as on a faithful friend.\n 4 So, Agni, be the Friend of these with liberal gift of hero strength.\n Yea, Heaven and Earth have not surpassed this Youthful One in glorious fame.\n 5 O Agni, quickly come to us, and, glorified, bring precious wealth.\n So we and these our princes will assemble for the good of all. Be near in fight to prosper us.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN XVI. Agni.","type":"page"}
