  1. Ṛgveda 2.10.2, English May Agni the resplendent hear my calling through all my songs, Immortal, keen of insight. Dark steeds or ruddy draw his car, or carried in sundry ways he makes them red of colour. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  2. Ṛgveda 2.10.3, English On wood supine they got the well-formed Infant: a germ in various-fashioned plants was Agni; And in the night, not compassed round by darkness, he dwells exceeding wise, with rays of splendour. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  3. Ṛgveda 2.10.4, English With oil and sacred gifts I sprinkle Agni who makes his home in front of all things living, Broad, vast, through vital power o'er all expanded, conspicuous, strong with all the food that feeds him. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  4. Ṛgveda 2.10.5, English I pour to him who looks in all directions: may he accept it with a friendly spirit. Agni with bridegroom's grace and lovely colour may not be touched when all his form is fury. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  5. Ṛgveda 2.10.6, English By choice victorious, recognize thy portion: with thee for envoy may we speak like Manu. Obtaining wealth, I call on perfect Agni who with an eloquent tongue dispenses sweetness. Ralph T.H. Griffith
