Griffith, [1896]\n1. ROUSED from their bosom is the Dawns' beloved, the joyous Priest, most sapient, Purifier.\n He gives a signal both to Gods and mortals, to Gods oblations, riches to the pious.\n 2 Most wise is he who, forcing doors of Pa\u1e47is, brought the bright Sun to us who feedeth many.\n The cheerful Priest, men's Friend and home-companion, through still night's darkness he is made apparent.\n 3 Wise, ne.'er deceived, uncircumscribed, refulgent, our gracious guest, a Friend with good attendants,\n Shines forth with wondrous light before the Mornings; the young plants hath he entered, Child of Waters.\n 4 Seeking our gatherings, he, your J\u0101tavedas, hath shone adorable through human ages,\n Who gleams refulgent with his lovely lustre: the kine have waked to meet him when enkindled.\n 5 Go on thy message to the Gods, and fail not, O Agni, with their band who pray and worship.\n Bring all the Gods that they may give us riches, Sarasvat\u012b, the Maruts, A\u015bvins, Waters.\n 6 Vasi\u1e63\u1e6dha, when enkindling thee, O Agni, hath slain jarutha. Give us wealth in plenty.\n Sing praise in choral song, O J\u0101tavedas. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN IX. Agni.","type":"page"}
