<strong>The</strong> Fourteenth Hymn to Agni<br />

A HYMN OF THE FINDER OF LIGHT AND TRUTH<br />

[<strong>The</strong> Rishi declares Agni as the Priest of the sacrifice, the slayer<br />

of the powers of Darkness, the finder of the world of the Sun of<br />

Truth, of his radiant herds and of his luminous waters; he is the<br />

seer in us who is increased by the clarities of right thought and<br />

speech.]<br />

1. Awaken the Flame by the word that affirms him, kindle high<br />

the Immortal; let him place our offerings in the godheads.<br />

2. Him in their pilgrim sacrifices mortal men desire and adore,<br />

the divine, the immortal, who is strongest for sacrifice in the<br />

human creature.<br />

3. Him, the godhead, man’s continuous generations adore with<br />

the ladle 1 dripping with the clarities; the Will they adore that<br />

he may bear their offering.<br />

This ladle is the constantly lifted movement of man’s aspiration towards the Truth<br />

and the Godhead.
