HYMN XII. Agni.

WE with great reverence have approached The Youngest who hath shone forth well-kindled in his dwelling, with wondrous light between wide Earth and Heaven, well-worshipped, looking forth in all directions.

Through his great might oโ€™ercoming all misfortunes, praised in the house is Agni Jฤtavedas.

May he protect us from disgrace and trouble, both us who laud him and our noble patrons.

O Agni, thou art Indra and Mitra: Vasisthas with their holy hymns exalt thee. With thee be most abundant gain of treasure. Ye Devas, preserve us evermore with blessings.
