Chapter I

HYMN 16 Agni

1

Agni is head and height of heaven, the master of the earth is he:
He quickeneth the waters' seed.

2

Yea, Agni, thou as Lord of light rulest o'er choicest gifts may I,
Thy singer, find defence in thee

3

Upward, O Agni, rise thy flames, pure and resplendent, blazing high,
Thy lustres, fair effulgences.
