Sama Veda II.8.1.1: With all thy fires, O Agni, find pleasure
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. With all thy fires, O Agni, find pleasure in this our sacrifice,
And this our speech, O son of Strength!
2. Whate'er, in this perpetual course, we sacrifice to God and God,
That gift is offered but in thee.
3. May he be our beloved King and excellent sweet-toned Hotar may
We with bright fires be dear to him
