Griffith, [1896]\n1. INSTALL at sacrifice, while the rite advances, your pleasant, heavenly Agni, meet for praises.\n With hymns-for he illumines us-install him. He, J\u0101tavedas, makes our rites successful.\n 2 Hear this laud, Radiant Priest of many aspects, O Agni with the fires of man enkindled,\n Laud which bards send forth pure as sacred butter, strength to this man, as \u2019twere for self-advantage.\n 3 Mid mortal men that singer thrives in glory who offers gifts with hymns of praise to Agni,\n And the God, wondrous bright, with wondrous succours helps him to win a stable filled with cattle.\n 4 He, at his birth, whose path is black behind him, filled heaven and earth with far-apparent splendour:\n And he himself hath been. through night's thick darkness, made manifest by light, the Purifier.\n 5 With thy most mighty aid, confer, O Agni, wonderful wealth on us and on our princes,\n Who stand preeminent, surpassing others in liberal gifts, in fame, and hero virtues.\n 6 Agni, accept this sacrifice with gladness, which, seated here, the worshipper presenteth.\n Fair hymns hadst thou among the Bharadv\u0101jas, and holpest them to gain abundant vigour.\n 7 Scatter our foes, increase our store. May we he glad a hundred winters with brave sons.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 6: HYMN X. Agni.","type":"page"}
