Atharva Veda 19.55
A hymn to Agni for protection and prosperity
GriffithEnglish
Bringing, as 'twere, with care unceasing fodder night after night to feed this stabled Courser, Joying in food and in the growth of riches, may we thy neighbours, Agni, ne'er be injured.
Here is thine own desire for wealth: through this be gracious unto us. Joying in food and in the growth of riches, may we thy neighbours, Agni, ne'er be injured.
Each eve that comes our household's Lord is Agni, showing his. loving-kindness every morning. Bestow upon us treasure after treasure: enkindling thee may we increase thy body.
Each morn that comes our household's Lord is Agni, showing. his loving-kindness every evening. Vouchsafe us treasure after treasure: kindling thee may we prosper through a hundred winters.
Never may I come short of food to feed me. Glory to Agni, Rudra, the consumer and the Lord of food!
Protect my company, protect its courteous members, courteous. God! Only through thee, O much-invoked, may I be ever rich in kine.
Only to thee bringing our tribute, Agni, each day as fodder to a stabled courser, Joying in food and in the growth of riches, may we the neighbours, Agni ne'er be injured.
