O Fire, thy inspiration and thy growth and
thy lights blaze in their greatness, O thou who shinest
out with thy lustres; O great luminousness,
O seer, thou foundest by thy strength for the
giver a plenitude of utterance.

flaming energy, bright is thy energy, indeficient
is thy energy as thou ascendest with thy
light — a son thou rangest and protectest the Parents and thou joinest together earth and heaven.

knowledge; he is the keeper of the Truth who ferries us beyond the surge of our
destroyers.
This is the true in his being whom the seers of old kindled, yea, the gods
too kindled him with perfect outshinings into his wide substance of the light,
the Priest of the oblation with his tongue of ecstasy.

A Great God has been Released
TRANSLATION AND EXPLANATION : V. 1*
Agni by the fuel heaped by the peoples has awakened
towards the coming Dawn as towards the sun-cow coming;
like the waters spouting up for wide flowing, his flames
move towards the heaven.
The Priest of the offering awoke for sacrifice to the gods,
Agni stood up high in the dawn and perfect-minded; the
gathered force of him was seen reddening when he was
entirely kindled; a great god has been released out of the
darkness.
When so he has put forth the tongue of his multitude, pure
is the activity of Agni with the pure herd of his rays; the

Flaming out in a wide mass of strength press back the hostile powers that
hurt and afflict. May I abide in the bliss of the all-blissful Vast, in the
leading of the Fire who is swift to our call.
Thou in the dawning of this dawn, thou when the Sun has arisen wake for us
and be our protector. Take pleasure in the Son as if in an eternal birth. Accept
my affirmation of thee, O Fire, perfectly born in thy body.
Thou art the male with the divine vision, in the wake of many dawns shine out
luminous in the black nights, O Fire.

Fire the guardian of men has been born, wakeful and discerning for a new

Priest of the call, strong in will to sacrifice.
