Mandala 10 – Hymn 187 [Rig Veda]

1. To Agni send I forth my song, to him the Bull of all the folk: So may he bear us past our foes. 2. Who from the distance far away shines brilliantly across the wastes: So may he bear us past our foes. 3. The Bull with brightly-gleaming flame who utterly consumes the fiends So may he bear us past our foes. 4. Who looks on all existing things and comprehends them with his view: So may he bear us past our foes. 5. Resplendent Agni, who was born in farthest region of the air: So may he bear us past our foes.
