Sama Veda II.7.2.6: Agni, come hither with thy fires; we choose
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Agni, come hither with thy fires; we choose thee as our Hotar; let
The proffered ladle filled with offerings balm thee, best of priests, to sit on sacred grass!
2. For unto thee, O Angiras, O Son of Strength, move ladles in the sacrifice.
We pray to Agni, Child of Force, whose locks drop oil, foremost in sacrificial rites.
