“ Thy well-winged flashes strengthen in their manner, when the black Bull hath bellowed round about us. With drops that bless and seem to smile he cometh: the waters fall, the clouds utter their thunder. ”

“ Bring to us ever-conquering wealth, wealth, Agni, worthy of our choice, In all our frays invincible. 9. Give us, O Agni, through thy grace wealth that supporteth all our life, Thy favour so that we may live. ”
