Rig-Veda, Book 3: HYMN XXIV. Agni

1. AGNI, subdue opposing bands, and drive our enemies away. Invincible, slay godless foes: give splendour to the worshipper. 2 Lit with libation, Agni, thou, deathless, who callest Gods to feast, Accept our sacrifice with joy. 3 With splendour, Agni, Son of Strength, thou who art worshipped, wakeful One. Seat thee on this my sacred grass. 4 With all thy fires, with all the Gods, Agni, exalt the songs we sing. And living men in holy rites. 5 Grant, Agni, to the worshipper wealth rich in heroes, plenteous store, Make thou us rich with many sons.
