HYMN XIX

A prayer to Agni for aid against an enemy

Burn thou, O Agni, with that heat of thine against the man
who hates us, whom we hate.
Flame thou, O Agni, with that flame of thine against the man
who hates us, whom we hate.
Shine out, O Agni, with that sheen of thine against the man who
hates us, whom we hate.
Blaze thou, O Agni, with that blaze of thine against the man
who hates us, whom we hate.
O Agni, with the splendour that is thine darken the man who
hates us, whom we hate.
