Atharva Veda 7.61: A prayer for sacred knowledge and its fruits
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Since, Agni, with our fervent zeal we undergo austerity, May we be dear to Sacred Lore, may we be wise and live long lives.
Agni, we practise acts austere, we undergo austerity.
So listening to Holy Lore may we grow wise and full of days.
