Chapter II

HYMN 1 Agni

1

Chant we a hymn to Agni while we go to sacrifice, to him
Who hears us even from afar!

2

Who from of old, in carnage, when the folk were gathered, hath preserved.
His household for the worshipper.

3

May that most blissful Agni guard our wealth and all ourfamily.
And keep us safe from pain and grief

4

Yea, let men say, Agni is born, even he who slayeth Vritra, he,
Who winneth wealth in every fight!
