Atharva Veda 6.36: In praise of Agni Vaisvānara
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Holy Vaisvānara we seek, the Lord of light and endless life, the burning One who fadeth not.
He hath directed all things; he sends forth the Seasons in his might, furthering sacrifice's power.
Agni Kāma in other homes shines forth the sole imperial Lord of all that is and is to be.
