\nHe is the possessor of the Truth to whom belong earth and

\nThe rapturous Priest of the call has reached the things of

\nLet dawn and night full of their plenitude come running towards thee on paths of the wind, O Fire, when all around
\nthey anoint with oblation thee the first and supreme, as if
\ntwo sides of a chariot-front they enter into the gated house. <\/p>\n

\nTo thee, O Forceful Fire, Mitra and Varuna and all the
\nlife-powers chant a hymn of bliss, when with thy flame of
\nlight, O son of Force, thou standest<\/span> as the sun above
\nthe
\npeoples shining wide upon men. <\/p>\n

5.
\nToday we give to thee thy desire, approaching thee with
\noutstretched hands and with obeisance; worship the gods
\nwith a mind strong for sacrifice, an illumined seer, with thy
\nunerring thought, O Fire. <\/p>\n

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

\nFor, from thee, O son of Force, go forth the many protections<\/span> of the godhead, and his plenitudes. Do thou

\nof flame and his raiment<\/span> of light, the purifier,

\nmay we become affirmers of thee by our lauds and rich in the power of a wealth

\nO youthful god, when thou worshippest<\/span> with sacrifice
\nthe divine host today.  <\/p>\n
