The Twenty-Eighth Hymn to Agni
A HYMN OF THE HIGH-BLAZING FLAME,
KING OF IMMORTALITY
[The Rishi celebrates the flame of the Will high-blazing in the
dawn of knowledge as the King of Immortality, the giver to
the soul of its spiritual riches and felicity and of a well-governed
mastery of Nature. He is the bearer of our oblation, the illumined
guide of our sacrifice to its divine and universal goal.]

1. The Flame of Will burning high rises to his pure light in the
heaven of mind; wide he extends his illumination and fronts
the Dawn. She comes, moving upward, laden with all desirable
things, seeking the gods with the oblation, luminous
with the clarity.

2. When thou burnest high thou art king of immortality and
thou cleavest to the doer of sacrifice to give him that blissful
state; he to whom thou comest to be his guest, holds in
himself all substance and he sets thee within in his front.
