Sama Veda II.8.1.7: With homage will I reverence thee, Agni, like
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. With homage will I reverence thee, Agni, like a long-tailed steed,
Imperial Lord of holy rites.
2. May the far-striding Son of Strength, our friend who brings felicity,
Who pours his gifts like rain, be ours
3. From near and far away do thou, the everlasting, evermore
Protect us from the sinful man!
