6,14 Agni 
6.XIV Agni 
agnā́ yó mártiyo dúvo dhíyaṃ jujóṣa dhītíbhiḥ |
bhásan nú ṣá prá pūrviyá íṣaṃ vurīta ávase || 
1 WHOSO to Agni hath endeared his thought and service by his hymns, That mortal cats before the rest, and finds sufficiency of food. 
agnír íd dhí prácetā agnír vedhástama ŕ̥ṣiḥ |
agníṃ hótāram īḷate yajñéṣu mánuṣo víśaḥ || 
2 Agni, in truth, is passing wise, most skilled in ordering, a Seer. At sacrifices Manus' sons glorify Agni as their Priest. 
nā́nā hí agne ávase spárdhante rā́yo ariyáḥ |
tū́rvanto dásyum āyávo vrataíḥ sī́kṣanto avratám || 
3 The foeman's wealth in many a place, Agni, is emulous to help. Men fight the fiend, and seek by rites to overcome the riteless foe. 
agnír apsā́m r̥tīṣáhaṃ vīráṃ dadāti sátpatim |
yásya trásanti śávasaḥ saṃcákṣi śátravo bhiyā́ || 
4 Agni bestows the hero chief, winner of waters, firm in fray. Soon as they look upon his might his enemies tremble in alarm. 
agnír hí vidmánā nidó devó mártam uruṣyáti |
sahā́vā yásya ávr̥to rayír vā́jeṣu ávr̥taḥ || 
5 For with his wisdom Agni, God, protects the mortal from reproach, Whose conquering wealth is never checked, is never checked in deeds of might. 
áchā no mitramaho deva devā́n ágne vócaḥ sumatíṃ ródasīyoḥ |
vīhí suastíṃ sukṣitíṃ divó nr̥̄́n dviṣó áṃhāṃsi duritā́ tarema tā́ tarema távā́vasā tarema || 
6 O Agni, God with Mitra's might call hither the favour of the Gods from earth and heaven. Bring weal from heaven that men may dwell securely. May we o’ercome the foe's malign oppressions, may we o’ercome them, through thy help o’ercome them.
