Book 5 >> HYMN 23 - Agni



अग्ने सहन्तम आ भर दयुम्नस्य परासहा रयिम |
विश्वा यश चर्षणीर अभ्य रसा वाजेषु सासहत
English:- . By thy fair splendour's mighty power, O Agni, bring victorious wealth,
Wealth that o'ercometh all mankind, and, near us, conquereth in fight.

तम अग्ने पर्तनाषहं रयिं सहस्व आ भर |
तवं हि सत्यो अद्भुतो दाता वाजस्य गोमतः
English:- Victorious Agni, bring to us the wealth that vanquisheth in war;
For thou art wonderful and true, giver of strength in herds of kine.

विश्वे हि तवा सजोषसो जनासो वर्क्तबर्हिषः |
होतारं सद्मसु परियं वयन्ति वार्या पुरु
English:- For all the folk with one accord, whose sacred grass is trimmed and strewn,
Invite thee to their worship-halls, as a dear Priest, for choicest wealth.

स हि षमा विश्वचर्षणिर अभिमाति सहो दधे |
अग्न एषु कषयेष्व आ रेवन नः शुक्र दीदिहि दयुमत पावक दीदिहि
English:- For he, the God of all men, hath gotten him might that quelleth foes.
O Agni, in these homes shine forth, bright God! for our prosperity, shine, Purifier! splendidly.
