Sama Veda II.2.1.7: Agni we choose as envoy, skilled performer of
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Agni we choose as envoy, skilled performer of this holy rite,
Hotar, possessor of all wealth.
2. With constant calls they invocate Agni, Agni, Lord of the house,
Oblation-bearer, much-beloved
3. Bring the Gods hither, Agni, born for him who trims the Sacred grass:
Thou art our Hotar, meet for praise!
