AT dawn let Agni, much-beloved guest of the house, be glorified;\n Immortal who delights in all oblations brought by mortal men.\n 2 For Dvita who receives through wealth of native strength maimed offerings,\n Thy praiser even gains at once the Soma-drops, Immortal Gods!\n 3 Nobles, with song I call that car of yours that shines with lengthened life,\n For, God who givest steeds! that car hither and thither goes unharmed.\n 4 They who have varied ways of thought, who guard the lauds within their lips,\n And strew the grass before the light, have decked themselves with high renown.\n 5 Immortal Agni, give the chiefs, heroes who institute the rite,\n Heroes\u2019 illustrious, lofty fame, who at the synod met for praise presented me with fifty steeds.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN XVIII.
