Griffith, [1896]\n1. LET Brahmans and A\u1e45girases come forward, and let the roar of cloudy heaven surround us.\n Loud low the Milch-kine swimming in the waters: set be the stones that grace our holy service.\n 2 Fair, Agni, is thy long-known path to travel: yoke for the juice tfiy bay, thy ruddy horses,\n Or red steeds, Hero-bearing, for the chamber. Seated, I call the Deities' generations.\n 3 They glorify your sacrifice with worship, yet the glad Priest near them is left unequalled.\n Bring the Gods hither, thou of many aspects: turn hitherward Aramati the Holy.\n 4 What time the Guest hath made himself apparent, at ease reclining in the rich man's dwelling,\n Agni, well-pleased, well-placed within the chamber gives to a house like this wealth worth the choosing.\n 5 Accept this sacrifice of ours, O Agni; glorify it with Indra and the Maruts.\n Here on our grass let Night and Dawn be seated: bring longing Varu\u1e47a and Mitra hither.\n 6 Thus hath Vasi\u1e63\u1e6dha praised victorious Agni, yearning for wealth that giveth all subsistence.\n May he bestow on us food, strength, and riches. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN XLII Vi\u015bvedevas.","type":"page"}
