Mandal - 5 (Part - 5)

HYMN 13 Agni

1

WITH songs of praise we call on thee, we kindle thee with songs of praise,
Agni, -with songs of praise, for help.

2

Eager for wealth, we meditate Agni's effectual praise to-day,
Praise of the God who touches heaven.

3

May Agni, Priest among mankind, take pleasure in our songs of praise,
And worship the Celestial Folk.

4

Thou, Agni, art spread widely forth, Priest dear and excellent; through thee
Men make the sacrifice complete.

5

Singers exalt thee, Agni, well lauded, best giver of our strength:
So grant thou us heroic might.

6

Thou Agni, as the felly rings the spokes, encompassest the Gods.
1 yearn for bounty manifold.
