Rig Veda

Mandal - 5 (Part - 5)

HYMN 22 Agni

1

LIKE Atri, Visvasaman! sing to him of purifying light,
Who must be praised in holy rites, the Priest most welcome in the house.

2

Set Jatavedas in his place, Agni the God and Minister.
Let sacrifice proceed to-day duly, comprising all the Gods.

3

All mortals come to thee for aid, the God of most observant mind.
Of thine excelling favour we bethink us as we long for it.

4

Mark with attention this our speech, O Agni, thou victorious One.
Thee, Strong-jawed! as the homestead's Lord, the Atris with their lauds exalt, the Atris beautify with songs.
