HYMN XXIV. Agni.
1. O AGNI, be our nearest Friend, be thou a kind deliverer and a gracious Friend.
2 Excellent Agni, come thou nigh to us, and give us wealth most splendidly renowned.
3 So hear us, listen to this call of ours, and keep us far from every sinful man.
4 To thee then, O Most Bright, O Radiant God, we come with prayer for happiness for our friends.
Rig Veda Book 5 Hymn 24
अग्ने तवं नो अन्तम उत तराता शिवो भवा वरूथ्यः |
वसुर अग्निर वसुश्रवा अछा नक्षि दयुमत्तमं रयिं दाः |
स नो बोधि शरुधी हवम उरुष्या णो अघायतः समस्मात |
तं तवा शोचिष्ठ दीदिवः सुम्नाय नूनम ईमहे सखिभ्यः |
aghne tvaṃ no antama uta trātā śivo bhavā varūthyaḥ |
vasur aghnir vasuśravā achā nakṣi dyumattamaṃ rayiṃ dāḥ |
sa no bodhi śrudhī havam uruṣyā ṇo aghāyataḥ samasmāt |
taṃ tvā śociṣṭha dīdivaḥ sumnāya nūnam īmahe sakhibhyaḥ |
