Griffith, [1896]\n1. AGNI, best winner of the spoil, cause us to praise before the Gods\n As our associate meet for lauds, wealth which thou verily deemest wealth.\n 2 Agni, the great who ward not off the anger of thy power and might\n Stir up the wrath and hatred due to one who holds an alien creed.\n 3 Thee, Agni, would we choose as Priest, the perfecter of strength and skill;\n We who bring sacred food invoke with song thee Chief at holy rites.\n 4 Here as is needful for thine aid we toil, O Conqueror, day by day,\n For wealth, for Law. May we rejoice, Most Wise One! at the feast, with kine, rejoice, with heroes, at the feast.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN XX. Agni.","type":"page"}
