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

<\/b> <\/p>\n

\nA HYMN OF THE HIGH-BLAZING FLAME, KING
\nOF IMMORTALITY <\/font><\/p>\n

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

\n <\/p>\n

\n[The Rishi celebrates the flame of the Will high-blazing in the
\n<\/i>dawn of knowledge as the King of Immortality, the giver to
\nthe soul of its spiritual riches and felicity and of a well-governed
\nmastery of Nature. He is the bearer of our oblation, the illumined guide of our sacrifice to its divine and universal goal.]<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    \n\tThe Flame of Will burning high rises to his pure light in the
    \nheaven of mind; wide he extends his illumination and fronts the Dawn. She comes,
    \n\tmoving upward, laden with all desirable things, seeking the gods with the oblation, luminous
    \nwith the clarity.<\/font> <\/font><\/li>\n

  2. \n

    \n\tWhen thou burnest high thou art king of immortality and
    \nthou cleavest to the doer of sacrifice to give him that blissful state; he to whom thou comest to be his guest, holds in
    \nhimself all substance and he sets thee within in his front.<\/font>
    \n\t<\/font><\/li>\n

  3. \n

    \n\tO Flame, put forth thy battling might for a vast enjoyment<\/font>\u00b9<\/font>
    \nof bliss may there be thy highest illumination; create a well-
    \ngoverned union of the Lord and his Spouse, set thy foot
    \non the greatness of hostile powers.<\/font> <\/font>\n\t<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    \n\tI adore, O Flame, the glory of thy high-blazing mightiness.
    \nThou art the Bull with the illuminations; thou burnest up
    \nin the march of our sacrifices.<\/font> <\/font><\/li>\n

  5. \n

    \n\tO Flame that receivest our offerings, perfect guide of the
    \nsacrifice, high-kindled offer our oblation to the godheads;<\/font>
    \n\t<\/font>for thou art the bearer of our offerings.<\/font>
    \n\t<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\u00b9<\/font>The Vedic immortality is a vast beatitude, a large enjoyment of the divine and infinite
    \nexistence reposing on a perfect union between the Soul and Nature; the soul becomes King
    \nof itself and its environment, conscious on all its planes, master of them, with Nature for its
    \nbride delivered from divisions and discords into an infinite and luminous harmony.<\/font>

    1. \n

      \n\t Cast the offering, serve the Will with your works<\/font>\u00b9<\/font> while your
      \nsacrifice moves forward to its goal, accept the carrier of our
      \noblation.<\/font>\u00b2<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n\u00b9<\/font>Or, "set the Will to its workings".<\/font>
      \n<\/font><\/p>\n

      \n\u00b2<\/font>This hymn closes the series addressed to Agni and forming the first twenty-eight hymns
      \nof the fifth Mandala of the Rig-veda.<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n
