Griffith, [1896]\n1. I INVOCATE your Son of Strength, the Youthful, with hymns, the Youngest God, whose speech is guileless;\n Sage who sends wealth comprising every treasure, bringer of many boons, devoid of malice.\n 2 At eve and morn thy pious servants bring thee their precious gifts, O Priest of many aspects,\n On whom, the Purifier, all things living as on firm. ground their happiness have stablished.\n 3 Thou from of old hast dwelt among these people, by mental power the charioteer of blessings.\n Hence sendest thou, O sapient J\u0101tavedas, to him who serves thee treasures in succession.\n 4 Agni, whoever secretly attacks us, the neighbour, thou with Mitra's might! who harms us,\n Burn him with thine own Steers for ever youthful, burning with burning heat, thou fiercest burner.\n 5 He who serves thee with sacrifice and fuel, with hymn, O Son of Strength, and chanted praises,\n Shines out, Immortal! in the midst of mortals, a sage, with wealth, with splendour and with glory.\n 6 Do this, O Agni, when we urge thee, quickly, triumphant in thy might subdue our foemen.\n When thou art praised with words and decked with brightness, accept this chanted hymn, the singer's worship.\n 7 Help us, that we may gain this wish, O Agni, gain riches, Wealthy One! with store of heroes.\n Desiring strength from thee may we be strengthened, and win, Eternal! thine eternal glory.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 6: HYMN V.
