Rig Veda

Book 10, Hymn CLXXXVII. Agni

1. To Agni send I forth my song, to him the Bull of all the folk:
So may he bear us past our foes.

2 Who from the distance far away shines brilliantly across the wastes:
So may he bear us past our foes.

3 The Bull with brightly-gleaming flame who utterly consumes the fiends
So may he bear us past our foes.

4 Who looks on all existing things and comprehends them with his view:
So may he bear us past our foes.

5 Resplendent Agni, who was born in farthest region of the air:
So may he bear us past our foes.
