Rig Veda 1.98

Agni

GriffithEnglish
STILL in Vaiśvānara's grace may we continue: yea, he is King supreme o’er all things living. Sprung hence to life upon this All he looketh. Vaiśvānara hath rivalry with Sūrya.
Present in heaven, in earth, all-present Agni,—all plants that grow on ground hath he pervaded. May Agni, may Vaiśvānara with vigour, present, preserve us day and night from foemen.
Be this thy truth, Vaiśvānara, to us-ward: let wealth in rich abundance gather round us. This prayer of ours may Varuṇa grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
