Hymn to Agni (Stanzas 1-9 of the Rig Veda)
I praise Agni, the domestic priest, the divine officiating priest of sacrifices, the invoker, the best bestower of treasure.
Agni, to be praised by past and present seers, may he bring the gods here.
Through Agni, one may thus obtain wealth and prosperity day by day, glorious and most abounding in heroes.
O Agni, that worship and sacrifice, which you encompass on all sides, let that same go to the gods.
May Agni, the invoker, with the mental power of a seer, the true, of the most brilliant fame, come as a god with the gods.
Just as that good, which you, Agni, do for the worshipper, that of you is true, O Angiras.
To you, O Agni, day by day, illuminator of the gloom, with a thought, we come bringing praise;
ruling over sacrifices, shining protector of order, growing in your own house.
So, be easy of access to us, O Agni, like a father to a son; Follow us for our wellbeing.
