“ Wake up the willing Gods, since thou, Agni, performest embassage: Sit on the sacred grass with Gods. 5. O Agni, radiant One, to whom the holy oil is poured, burn up Our enemies whom fiends protect. 6. By Agni Agni is inflamed, Lord of the House, wise, young, who bears The gift: the ladle is his mouth. 7. Praise Agni in the sacrifice, the Sage whose ways are ever true, The God who driveth grief away. 8. God, Agni, be his strong defence who lord of sacrificial gifts, Worshippeth thee the messenger. 9. Whoso with sacred gift would fain call Agni to the feast of Gods, O Purifier, favour him. ”
