Sama Veda II.6.3.14: O Agni, thou hast been ordained Hotar of
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. O Agni, thou hast been ordained Hotar of every sacrifice, By Gods, among the race of men.
So with sweet-sounding tongues for us sacrifice nobly in this rite:
Bring thou the Gods and worship them
3. For, as disposer, Agni, God, most wise in sacrifices, thou Knowest straightway the roads and paths.
