5,16 Agni 
5.XVI Agni 
br̥hád váyo hí bhānáve árcā devā́ya agnáye |
yám mitráṃ ná práśastibhir mártāso dadhiré puráḥ || 
1 GREAT power is in the beam of light, sing praise to, Agni, to the God Whom men have set in foremost place like Mitra with their eulogies. 
sá hí dyúbhir jánānãṃ hótā dákṣasya bāhuvóḥ |
ví havyám agnír ānuṣág bhágo ná vā́ram r̥ṇvati || 
2 He by the splendour of his arms is Priest of every able man. Agni conveys oblation straight, and deals, as Bhaga deals, his boons. 
asyá stóme maghṍnaḥ sakhiyé vr̥ddháśociṣaḥ |
víśvā yásmin tuviṣváṇi sám aryé śúṣmam ādadhúḥ || 
3 All rests upon the laud and love of him the rich, high-flaming God, On whom, loud-roaring, men have laid great strength as on a faithful friend. 
ádhā hí agna eṣãṃ suvī́riyasya maṃhánā |
tám íd yahváṃ ná ródasī pári śrávo babhūvatuḥ || 
4 So, Agni, be the Friend of these with liberal gift of hero strength. Yea, Heaven and Earth have not surpassed this Youthful One in glorious fame. 
nṹ na éhi vā́riyam ágne gr̥ṇāná ā́ bhara |
yé vayáṃ yé ca sūráyaḥ suastí dhā́mahe sácā utaídhi pr̥tsú no vr̥dhé || 
5 O Agni, quickly come to us, and, glorified, bring precious wealth. So we and these our princes will assemble for the good of all. Be near in fight to prosper us.
