Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Agni is head and height of heaven, the master of the earth is he:
He quickeneth the waters' seed.
2. Yea, Agni, thou as Lord of light rulest o'er choicest gifts may I,
Thy singer, find defence in thee
3. Upward, O Agni, rise thy flames, pure and resplendent, blazing high,
Thy lustres, fair effulgences.
