Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896) · From The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896)
HE whom the priests in sundry ways arranging the sacrifice, of one accord, bring hither,
Who was appointed as a learned Brahman, what is the sacrificer's knowledge of him?
Kindled in many a spot, still One is Agni; Silrya is One though high o'er all he shineth.
Illumining this All, still One is Usas. That which is One hath into All developed.
The chariot bright and radiant, treasure-laden, three-wheeled, with easy seat, and lightly rolling,
Which She of Wondrous Wealth was born to harness,-this car of yours I call. Drink what remaineth.
