Chapter I

HYMN 12 Agni

1

O Agni, God, the people sing reverent praise to thee for strength:
With terrors trouble thou the foe

2

Wilt thou not, Agni, lend us aid to win the cattle, win the wealth?
Maker of room, make room for us

3

In the great fight cast us not off, Agni, as one who bears a load:
Snatch up the wealth and win it all!
