Rig Veda

Mandal - 1 (Part - 1)

HYMN 75. Agni

1

ACCEPT our loudest-sounding hymn, food most delightful to the Gods,
Pouring our offerings in thy mouth.

2

Now, Agni, will we say to thee, O wisest and best Afigiras,
Our precious, much-availing prayer.

3

Who, Agni, is thy kin, of men? who is thy worthy worshipper?
On whom dependent? who art thou?

4

The kinsman, Agni, of mankind, their well beloved Friend art thou,
A Friend whom friends may supplicate.

5

Bring to us Mitra, Varuna, bring the Gods to mighty sacrifice.
Bring them, O Agni, to thine home.
