Rig Veda

Mandal - 10 (Part - 10)

HYMN 156 Agni

1

LET songs of ours speed Agni forth like a fleet courser in the race,
And we will win each prize through him.

2

Agni the dart whereby we gain kine for ourselves with help from thee,-
That send us for the gain of wealth.

3

O Agni, bring us wealth secure, vast wealth in horses and in kine:
Oil thou the socket, turn the wheel.

4

O Agni, thou hast made the Sun, Eternal Star, to mount the sky,
Bestowing light on living men.

5

Thou, Agni, art the people's light, best, dearest, seated in thy shrine:
Watch for the singer, give him life.
