VEDIC HYMNS.
5. When through his (Agni's) power the bounties grow in strength, with the roar of Agni' as with that of the Maruts—like bounties offered to a vigorous man: then he by his greatness stirs up the gift of goods. May he protect us from misfortune and injury, from evil spell and injury.
6. The far-reaching steward2 has taken all goods 3 in his right hand, and strongly advancing does not let them loose ; desirous of glory he does not let them loose. For every supplicant thou hast carried the oblations to the gods. For every righteous one he procures a treasure; Agni opens both folds of the door (for him).
7. He has been established as the most blissful one in the enclosures of men, Agni, at the sacrifices, like a noble lord of the clans, a beloved lord of the clans at the sacrifices : he rules over the oblations of men to which nourishing power has been imparted . May he protect us from harm that comes from Varuna, from harm ? that comes from the great god.
8. They magnify Agni the Hotri, the dispenser of goods. They have roused the beloved, the most shining steward' (of sacrifice); they have roused the carrier of oblations. The gods desirous of goods (have roused) him in whom all life dwells, who possesses all wealth, the Hotri, the worshipful sage, the lovely one for the sake of bliss; with praises (they have roused), desirous of goods, the lovely one.
