The Atharva Veda — Book 1, Hymn 9… (1896)
“ May light, O Gods, be under his dominion, Agni, the Sun, all; that is bright and golden. Prostrate beneath our feet his foes and rivals. Uplift him to the. loftiest cope of heaven. 3. Through that most mighty prayer, O Jātavedas, wherewith thou. broughtest milk to strengthen Indra, Even therewith exalt this man, O Agni, and give him highest rank among his kinsmen. 4. I have assumed their sacrifice, O Agni, their hopes, their glory,. and their riches' fulness. Prostrate beneath our feet his foes and rivals. Uplift him to the- loftiest cope of heaven. ”
