HYMN XIX. Agni.

To this fair offerings thou art invoked: O Agni, with the Devas come.

No mortal man, no Deva exceeds thy mental power, O Mighty one: O Agni, with the Devas come:

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

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

Brilliant, mighty, O Agni, with those Devas come.

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

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

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

For thee, to be thine early draught, O Agni, with the Devas come.
