RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I




HYMN 76

Rishi: GOTAMA Deity: AGNI

  1. O Agni, what approach would draw thy mind (towards us)? What praise be exceedingly pleasing? Who by sacrifices hath gained thy discernment? With what thought shall we bring offerings to thee?

  2. Come hither, Agni, be seated as the invoker, Unassailable, be our leader. Guarded by the all-pervading Heaven and Earth, worship thou the Gods for their high favour (to us).

  3. O Agni, scorch out all the demons; guard thou from affliction to our sacrifices; bring hither the lord of Soma with his steeds. We offer hospitality to the bounteous giver

  4. I invoke thee who, lauded with resultful hymns carriest offerings in thy mouth; be seated here along with the Gods. Worshipful one, fulfil the task of the invoker and the purifier. Generator and controller of riches, awaken us to them.

  5. Worship thou today, O Agni, summoner, Truth-full, with delightful flame-tongue, even as, seer with seers, thou didst worship the Gods with the offerings of the illumined Manu.
