यह्वा इव प्र वयामुज्जिहाना प्र भानव सस्रते नाकमच्छ॥७३
English:- Agni is seen and known while rising by the burning samidhas lighted by the yajakas at dawn coming up like a cow early in the morning, and the flames, like branches of a mighty tree, rise brilliantly and touch the sky where there is no pain, no darkness. (Rigved 5-1-1)
ओ३म् प्र भूर्जयन्तं महां विपोधां मूरैरमूरं पुरां दर्माणम्।

नयन्तं गीर्भिर्वना धियं धा हरिश्मश्रुं न वार्मणा धनर्चिम्॥७४
English:- Earnest men of love, passion and faith, but, being human, limited in intelligence, hold at heart, worship and serve Agni pervading and dominating the world of existence, great, sustainer of the vibrant wise, all knowing and wise, breaker of the strongholds of negativity and darkness, the original seed and source of life, beatific, supremely intelligent, golden flamed and divinely adorable. Men hold at heart, worship and serve this omnipresent Agni being more dynamic than the dynamics of nature, the instant presence that it is. (Rigved 10-46-5)
ओ३म् शुक्रं ते अन्यद्यजतं ते अन्यद्विषुरूपे अहनी द्यौरिवासि।
विश्वा हि माया अवसि स्वधावन्भद्रा ते पूषन्निह रातिरस्तु॥७५

English:- O Pusha, giver of nourishment for body, mind and soul, you are the light of the world as the sun. Two are the forms of your beauty and glory, both different yet alike like the twin forms of the day: one is bright and inspiring, the other is soothing sweet adorable as the night. Lord of your own essential might, you animate, inspire, preserve and promote all intelligence, energy and powers of the world community. We pray, may your gifts of generosity be good for all in this world. (Rigved 6-58-1)

स्यान्न सूनुस्तनयो विजावाग्ने सा ते सुमतिर्भूत्वस्मे॥७६
स्यान्न सूनुस्तनयो विजावाग्ने सा ते सुमतिर्भूत्वस्मे॥७६
English:- Agni, lord of heaven and earth, give us, we pray, the abundance of mother earth which overflows with possibilities of action and achievement. Give us liberal gifts of cows and the universal form of speech and knowledge and lasting wealth. Make it possible for the performer of yajna. Bless us with brave and heroic children and grand children. Bless us with the favour of your kindness and benevolence under your benign eye. (Rigved 3-6-11)
ओ३म् प्र होता जातो महान्नभोविन्नृषद्मा सीददपां विवर्ते।
दधद्यो धायी सुते वयासि यन्ता वसूनि विधते तनूपा॥७७

English:- High priest of the cosmic yajna of creation, universally self-manifested, great and glorious, pervasive in space and things even beyond the senses, abiding in the heart and soul of humanity, Agni rolls at the heart of the dynamics of existence. O man, the omnipresent light of the universe which holds, controls and sustains everything is celebrated in the Vedas and worshipped at heart. It is Agni, sustainer of the individual body and the cosmic form, ruler and controller of everything, that bears and brings you all food and energies and blesses you with all wealth, honour and excellence of life. (Rigved 10-46-1)

ओ३म् अरण्योर्निहितो जातवेदा गर्भ इवेत्सुभृतो गर्भिणीभिः।
दिवेदिव ईड्यो जागृवद्भिर्हविष्मद्भिर्मनुष्येभिरग्नि॥७९
दिवेदिव ईड्यो जागृवद्भिर्हविष्मद्भिर्मनुष्येभिरग्नि॥७९
English:- Agni, immanent in everything in existence, it is hidden in the two arani woods (the lower base and the upper churner), like the embryo neatly nestled in the womb of pregnant mothers. Agni is worthy of love and reverence, and it ought to be generated by people who are alert and awake and possess the right inputs and apparatuses in plenty. (Rigved 3-29-2)
ओ३म् सनादग्ने मृणसि यातुधानान्न त्वा रक्षासि पृतनासु जिग्युः।
अनु दह सहमूरान्कयादो मा ते हेत्या मुक्षत दैव्यायाः॥८०
अनु दह सहमूरान्कयादो मा ते हेत्या मुक्षत दैव्यायाः॥८०
English:- Agni, you destroy the oppressors since time immorial. Never can the evil dominate over you in their battles against the good.
