Sama Veda II.6.2.10: Eager for wealth we meditate Agni's effectual laud
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Eager for wealth we meditate Agni's effectual laud to-day,
Laud of the God who touches heaven.
2. May Agni who is Hotar-priest among mankind accept our songs,
And worship the celestial folk!
3. Thou, Agni, art spread widely forth, Priest dear and excellent through thee
Men make the sacrifice complete.
