RV 3 (6)

3 Bright God, whose look is free from stain like Surya's, thou, swift, what time thou earnestly desirest, 4 Fierce is his gait and vast his wondrous body: he champeth like a horse with bit and bridle, 5 Archer−like, fain toshoot, he sets his arrow, and whets his splendour like the edge of iron: 6 In beams of morn he clothes him like the singer, and bright as Mitra with his splendour crackles. 7 Like Heaven's when scattering beams his voice was uttered: among the plants the radiant Hero shouted, 8 Who, with supporting streams and rays that suit him, hath flashed like lightning with his native vigour. 2 May Agni, radiant Herald of the morning, meet to be known, accept our praise with favour. 3 Whose might the very heavens regard with wonder: bright as the Sun he clothes himself with lustre. 4 Thou art a Singer, Son! our feast−companion: Agni at birth prepared his food and pathway. 5 Even he who cats his firm hard food with swiftness,and overtakes the nights as Vayu kingdoms. 6 Like Surya with his fulgent rays, O Agni, thou overspreadest both the worlds with splendour. 7 We have elected thee as most delightful for thy beams' glow: hear our great laud, O Agni. 8 Now, Agni, on the tranquil paths of riches come to us for our weal: save us from sorrow.
