Book 19: Hymn 64: A prayer to Agni for children, long life, and various blessings

1For lofty Jātavedas I have brought the fuel hither first. May he who knoweth all bestow faith and intelligence on me. 2With fuel and with flaming wood we, Jātavedas, strengthen thee; So do thou strengthen us in turn with children and with store of wealth. 3Whatever even be the logs which, Agni, we lay down for thee, propitious be it all to me: accept it, O most youthful God. 4Agni, these logs are thine: with these be, fain to burn! a flaming brand. Vouchsafe us length of life and give us hope of immortality.
