Sama Veda II.3.1.20: Hither, for powerful kinship, I call Agni, him
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Hither, for powerful kinship, I call Agni, him who prospers you,
Most frequent at our solemn rites.
2. That through this famed one's power he may stand by us, even as Tvasbtar comes
Unto the forms that must be shaped.
3. This Agni is the Lord supreme above all glories' mid the Gods:
May he come nigh to us with strength.
