  1. Ṛgveda 6.8.1, English AT Jatavedas' holy gathering I will tell aloud the conquering might of the swift red-hued Steer. A pure and fresher hymn flows to Vaisvanara, even as for Agni lovely Soma is made pure. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  2. Ṛgveda 6.8.2, English That Agni, when in loftiest heaven he sprang to life, Guardian of Holy Laws, kept and observed them well. Exceeding wise, he measured out the firmament. Vaisvanara attained to heaven by mightiness. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  3. Ṛgveda 6.8.3, English Wonderful Mitra propped the heaven and earth apart, and covered and concealed the darkness with his light. He made the two bowls part asunder like two skins. Vaisvanara put forth all his creative power. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  4. Ṛgveda 6.8.4, English The Migbty seized him in the bosom of the floods: the people waited on the King who should be praised. As envoy of Vivasvan MatariSvan brought Agni Vaisvanara hither from far away. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  5. Ṛgveda 6.8.5, English In every age bestow upon the singers wealth, worthy of holy synods, glorious, ever new. King, undecaying, as it were with sharpened bolt, smite down the sinner like a tree with lightning-flash. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  6. Ṛgveda 6.8.6, English Do thou bestow, O Agni, on our wealthy chiefs, rule, with good heroes, undecaying, bending not. So may we win for us strength. O Vaisvanara, hundredfold, thousandfold, O Agni, by thy help. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  7. Ṛgveda 6.8.7, English O thou who dwellest in three places, Helper, keep with effective guards our princely patrons. Keep our band, Agni, who have brought thee presents. Lengthen their lives, Vaisvanara, when lauded. Ralph T.H. Griffith
