HYMN 12 Agni

1

May Vatsa draw thy mind away even from thy loftiest dwelling-place!
Agni, I yearn for thee with song.

2

Thou art alike in many a place: through all the regions thou art Lord.
In fray and fight we call on thee.

3

When we are seeking spoil we call Agni to help us in the strife,
Giver of wordrous gifts in war.
