HYMN XXXIII

A prayer to Agni for protection and prosperity

1Chasing our pain with splendid light, O Agni, shine thou wealth
   on us.
  His lustre flash our pain away.
2For goodly fields, for pleasant homes, for wealth we sacrifice to
   thee.
  His lustre flash our pain away!
3Best praiser of all these be he, and foremost be our noble chiefs.
  His lustre flash our pain away!
4So that thy worshipper and we, thine, Agni! in our sons may
   live.
  His lustre flash our pain away!
5As ever conquering Agni's beams of splendour go to every side,
  His lustre flash our pain away.
6To every side thy face is turned, thou art triumphant everywhere.
  His lustre flash our pain away!
7O thou whose face looks every way, bear off our foes as in a
   ship.
  His lustre flash our pain away!
8As in a ship across the flood, transport us to felicity. His lustre
   flash our pain away
