HYMN 19 Agni, Maruts

1

To this fair sacrifice to drink the milky draught thou art invoked:
O Agni, with the Maruts come.

No mortal man, no God exceeds thy mental power, O Mighty one -
O Agni, with the Maruts come

3

All Gods devoid of guile, who know the mighty region of mid-air:
O Agni, with those Maruts come.

4

The terrible, who sing their song, not to be overcome by might:
O Agni, with those Maruts come.

5

Brilliant, and awful in their form, mighty, devourers of their foes':
O Agni, with those Maruts come.

6

Who sit as Deities in heaven, above the sky-vault's luminous sphere:
O Agni, with those Maruts come.

7

Who scatter clouds about the sky, away over the billowy sea:
O Agni, with those Maruts come.

8

Who with their bright beams spread them forth over the ocean in their might
O Agni, with those Maruts come.

9

For thee, to be thine early draught, I pour the Soma-mingled meath:
O Agni, with the Maruts come.
