2Let sacrifice proceed like some fleet courser: with one accord lift ye on high the ladles. Strew sacred grass meet for the solenm service: bright flames that love the Gods have mounted upward.

3Like babes in arms reposing on their mother, let the Gods sit upon the grass's summit. Let general fire make bright the flame of worship: scorn us not, Agni, in the Gods' assembly.

4Gladly the Gods have let themselves be honoured, milking the copious streams of holy Order. The highest might to−day is yours, the Vasits': come ye, as many as ye are, one−minded.

5So, Agni, send us wealth among the people: may we be closely knit to thee, O Victor, Unharmed, and rich, and taking joy together. Preserve us evermore, ye ods, with blessings.

6Thus hath Vasistha praised victorious Agni, yearning for wealth that giveth all subsistence. May he bestow on us food, strength, and riches. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings. HYMN XLIII Visvedevas. 1. SING out the pious at your sacrifices to move with adorations Earth and Heaven− The H oly Singers, whose unmatched devotions, like a tree's branches, part in all directions.
