Rig-Veda, Book 2: HYMN VIII.Agni

1. Now praise, as one who strives for strength, the harnessing of Agni's car, The liberal, the most splendid One; 2 Who, guiding worshippers aright, withers, untouched by age, the foe: When worshipped fair to look upon; 3 Who for his glory is extolled at eve and morning in our homes, Whose statute is inviolate; 4 Who shines refulgent like the Sun, with brilliance and with fiery flame, Decked with imperishable sheen. 5 Him Atri, Agni, have our songs Strengthened according to his sway: All glories hath he made his own. 6 May we with Agni's, Indra's help, with Soma's, yea, of all the Gods, Uninjured dwell together still, and conquer those who fight with us.
