\nThe Sixth Hymn to Agni <\/font><\/b>

\n
\nTHE GALLOPING FLAME-POWERS OF THE JOURNEY <\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n[The flames of Agni the divine Will, home and meeting-place of all our increasing and advancing life-powers, are imaged as
\ngalloping on our human journey to the supreme good. Divine Will creates in us the divine strength of impulsion, an illumined
\nand undecaying force and flame described as the steed of the plenitude, which brings us that good and carries us to that goal.
\nHis flames are coursers on the path who increase by the sacrifice; they hasten uninterruptedly, and race always more swiftly; they
\nbring in the penned-up illuminations of the hidden knowledge. Their entire force and rapidity are accorded when the divine
\nStrength is filled and satisfied with the sacrificial offerings.]

\n1. On Strength I meditate who is the dweller in substance and
\nto him as their home go our fostering herds, to him as their home our swift war-steeds,1<\/font><\/sup> to him as their home our powers
\nof the plenitude.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n1 The Horse is the symbol of Force in the Veda, especially of vital force. It is variously
\nthe Arvat or war-steed in the battle and the Vajin, the steed of the journey which brings us in the plenty of our spiritual wealth.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n2 The power that enables us to make the journey through the night of our being to the
\ndivine Light.   <\/font> <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n2. He is that Strength who is the dweller in substance; him I express in whom come together3<\/font><\/sup> our fostering herds, in
\nwhom meet our swiftly galloping war-steeds, in whom our luminous seers that come to perfect birth in us.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n3. Will, the universal toiler, gives to the creature his steed of the
\nplenitude, Will gives that which comes into entire being in us for the felicity and, satisfied, it journeys to the desirable
\ngood.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n4. That fire of thee we kindle O God, O Flame, luminous, unaging, when that more effective force of thy labour blazes
\nin our heavens.

\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n5. Will, master of the pure-bright flame, thine is the offering cast by the illumining word; bearer of the oblation, to thee it
\nis cast, O master of the creature, achiever of works, perfect in delight.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n
\nBring to those who affirm thee thy force of the impulsion.<\/i>

\nAll our growing powers of force and knowledge move towards the manifestation of the divine Knowledge-Force and in it combine and are harmonised.

\n6. Those are thy flames that in these thy other flames nourish and advance every desirable good; they, they race! they, they
\nrun! they drive on in their impulsions without a break.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n
\nBring to those who affirm thee thy force of the impulsion <\/i>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n7. Those are thy fiery rays, O Will, steeds of the plenitude, and they increase into the largeness and with tramplings of their
\nhooves they bring in the pens of the luminous kine.4<\/font><\/sup>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n8. Bring, O Will, to those who affirm thee new strengths of impulsion that find aright their dwelling-place;5<\/font><\/sup> may we be
\nthey who because they have thee for their messenger, sing the hymn of illumination in home and home.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n9. Both6<\/font><\/sup> ladles of the running richness thou approachest to thy
\nmouth, O perfect in delight; mayst thou in our speakings utterly fill thyself, O master of shining strength.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n
\nBring to those who affirm thee thy force of the impulsion.<\/i>
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n4
\nThe illuminations of the divine Truth penned up in the cavern of the subconscient by the lords of sense-action.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n5 That is, they take us to our home in the world of Truth, the superconscient plane, own
\nhome of Agni, in which all these impulsions advancing find their rest and dwelling-place. It is reached by an ascent from plane to plane opened in succession by the power of the
\ndivine illumining Word. <\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n6
\nPerhaps, the divine and the human delight.   <\/font> <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n10. So by our words and our sacrifices they without any break drive and control the Strength. May he establish in us an
\nutter energy7<\/font><\/sup> and that swift galloping force.8<\/font><\/sup>

\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n8<\/i> Aś<\/font>u aśvyam<\/i>, the swift Horse-Power, with a play on the two words giving it the sense of “swift horse-swiftness”.
