HYMN V

A prayer to Agni and Indra for the well being of a princely patron

1Agni, adored with sacred oil, lift up this man to high estate.
Endow him with full store of strength and make him rich in
progeny.
2Advance him, Indra! Let him be ruler of all akin to him. p. a201
Grant him sufficiency of wealth: guide him to life and length of
days.
3Prosper this man, O Agni, in whose house we offer sacrifice.
May Soma bless him, and the God here present, Brāhmanaspati.
