HYMN 78. Agni

1

O JATAVEDAS, keen and swift, we Gotamas with sacred song exalt thee for thy glories' sake.

2

Thee, as thou art, desiring wealth Gotama worships with his song:
We laud thee for thy glories' sake.

3

As such, like Angiras we call on thee best winner of the spoil:
We laud thee for thy glories' sake.

4

Thee, best of Vrtra-slayers, thee who shakest off our Dasyu foes:
We laud thee for thy glories' sake.

5

A pleasant song to Agni we, sons of Rahugana, have sung:
We laud thee for thy glories' sake.
