Agni
2Protect Tryaruna, as thou art waxing strong and art highly praised, Vaisvanara Agni! Who granteth me a hundred kine and twenty, and two bay horses, good at draught, and harnessed.
3So Trasadasyu served thee, God Most Youthful, craving thy favour for the ninth time, Agni; Tryaruya who with attentive spirit accepteth many a song from me the mighty.
4He who declares his wish to me, to Asvamedha, to the Prince, Pays him who with his verse seeks gain, gives power to him who keeps the Law.
5From whom a hundred oxen, all of speckled hue, delight my heart, The gifts of Asvamedha, like thrice−mingled draughts of Soma juice.
6To Asvamedha who bestows a hundred gifts grant hero power, O Indra−Agni! lofty rule like the unwasting Sun in heaven.
