\nTHE TWENTY-THIRD HYMN TO AGNI <\/font>
\n<\/b> <\/p>\n

\nA HYMN OF THE RICH AND CONQUERING SOUL <\/font><\/p>\n

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

\n <\/p>\n

\n[The Rishi desires through Agni that opulence of the divine
\nLight against which the armies of darkness cannot stand; for it
\noverpowers them by its plenitude and force. This it does on all
\nthe successive planes of the soul’s labour and in each of them
\nman gets, by this divine Force that is the true and transcendent
\nBeing, all the objects of his desire that they contain.]<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    \n\tBring to us, O Strength most forcefully
    \n\tprevailing, that forceful opulence of the Light which in all the fields of our labour
    \nshall by force prevail with thy mouth of flame to enter into
    \nthe plenitudes.<\/font> <\/font><\/li>\n

  2. \n

    \n\tO Flame, O Might, that rich felicity bring which shall
    \nviolently overpower the armies that are embattled against
    \nus; for thou art the true in being, the transcendent and
    \nwonderful, who gives to man the luminous plenitude.<\/font>
    \n\t<\/font><\/li>\n

  3. \n

    \n\tAll these peoples who with one heart of love have made
    \nclear their seat of sacrifice, find in the dwelling-places<\/font>\u00b9<\/font> of the
    \nsoul thee, the priest of sacrifice, the beloved, and they reach
    \nin them their many objects of desire.<\/font> <\/font>\n\t<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    \n\tThis is the labourer in all man’s works
    \n\tand he holds in himself an all-besieging force. O pure-brilliant Flame, shine out
    \nfull of joy and opulence in these our habitations, shine out
    \nfull of light, O our purifier.<\/font> <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\u00b9<\/font>The "seats" or homes of the soul, which progresses from plane to plane and makes of
    \neach a habitation. They are sometimes called the cities. There are seven such planes each
    \nwith its seven provinces and one additional above. Usually we hear of a hundred cities, the
    \ndouble number perhaps representing the downward gaze in each, of the Soul upon Nature
    \nand the upward aspiration of Nature to the Soul. <\/font><\/p>\n
