Sama Veda II.7.1.12: Agni, thou pourest life: send down upon us
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Agni, thou pourest life: send down upon us food and vigorous strength:
Drive thou misfortune far away!
2. Agni is Pavamana, Sage, Chief Priest of all the fivefold tribes; To him whose wealth is great we pray.
3. Skilled in thy task, O Agni, pour splendour with hero strength on us, Granting me wealth that nourishes!
