Agni, be thou our nearest (friend) and our kind, protecting guardian.\n2. Agni is Vasu, renowned as Vasu (or, renowned by goods). Obtain, (and) bestow (on us), most brilliant wealth 1.\n3. Listen to us then; hear our call; deliver us from every harmful man.\n4. We entreat thee now, O brightest, shining (Agni), for thy grace, for our friends.\nThe Rishis are the Gaup\u00e2yanas or Laup\u00e2yanas, Bandhu (verse 1), Subandhu (verse 2), Srutabandhu (verse 3), Viprabandhu (verse 4). The metre is Dvipad\u00e2 Vir\u00e2g.\u2014Verses 1, 2, 4, 3 = VS. III, 25\u201326. Verses 1, 4, 2, 3 = MS. I, 5, 3. Verses 1, 2, 4 = SV. II, 457\u2013459; VS. XV, 48; XXV, 47. Verses 1, 4, 2 = TS. I, 5, 6, 2\u20133; IV, 4, 4, 8. Verse 1 = SV. I, 448.\nNote 1. The accusative dyum\u00e1ttamam ray\u00edm seems to depend both on \u00e1kkh\u00e2 nakshi and on d\u00e2h. I cannot find any reason for preferring the reading of SV. and TS. dyum\u00e1ttamah (Ludwig).","title":"Vedic Hymns, Part II (SBE46): V, 24","type":"page"}
