1 AGNI, accept this flaming brand, this waiting with my prayer on thee: Hear graciously these songs of praise. 2 With this hymn let us honour thee, seeker of horses, Son of Strength, With this fair hymn, thou nobly born. 3 As such, lover of song, with songs, wealth-lover, giver of our wealth! With reverence let us worship thee. 4 Be thou for us a liberal Prince, giver and Lord of precious things. Drive those who hate us far away. 5 Such as thou art, give rain from heaven, give strength which no man may resist: Give food exceeding plentiful. 6 To him who lauds thee, craving help, most youthful envoy! through our song, Most holy Herald! come thou nigh. 7 Between both races, Agni, Sage, well skilled thou passest to and fro, As envoy friendly to mankind. 8 Befriend us thou as knowing all. Sage, duly worship thou the Gods, And seat thee on this sacred grass.
