Canto 1Madhuchchhandas Vaishwamitra · Sukta 1
Book 2. Part Two: Other Hymns to Agni
1. The Fire I pray, the divine vicar of the sacrifice and ordinant
of the rite, the Summoner (or, priest of the offering) who
most founds the ecstasy.
2. The Fire, desirable to the ancient seers, so even to the new,
5— may he come to us with the gods.
3. By the Fire one obtains a wealth that increases day by day,
glorious and full of hero-powers.
4. O Fire, the pilgrim sacrifice which thou encompassest on
every side, reaches the gods.
