Such is this Agni, creative lord of cosmic yajna,

wielder of the worlds, born of two and twice born, who

holds the choicest foods, energies and honours of the

universe. And the man who, self-sacrificing, twice born

of natural mother and mother Sarasvati, blest with the

richest gifts of food, energy and honour, with a noble

family gives in homage and surrender to this Agni, he

is the real man. (Rg. 1-149-5)

Agni, mighty power of light and motion, with

songs of praise and prayer and with holy acts of service

offered in homage to you today, we augment, celebrate

and glorify you, fast as nature's waves of energy, bright

as intelligence and blissful as yajna, and dear as love

closest to the heart. (Rg. 4-10-1)
