they walk around thee?, O (god) who never growest old, like obedient (servants), O (god) who never growest old.
10. Let your praise go forth to the great Agni, who is mighty in his might, who awakens at dawn, like a winner of cattle?_let it go forth to Agni. When the worshipper) rich in offerings has loudly praised him? in all lands 3, he wakeslike a singer in front of the dawns', the flaming one (?), the Hotri (in front) of the dawns'.
11. Thus being seen by us, bring near to us, O Agni, graciously united with the gods, benignantly, great wealth benignantly. Make us behold great (bliss of valiant offspring'), O mightiest one, that we may obtain such enjoyment. Produce great bliss of valiant offspring, O bountiful Lord, (as fire is produced) by attrition, for those who praise thee, like a strong hero in thy might.
NOTES. The Rishi is Parukkhepa Daivodási, the metre Atyashti (verse 6 Atidhriti).- Verses 1-3 = SV. II, 1163-1165. Verse 1 = SV. I, 465; VS. XV, 47 ; TS. IV, 4, 4, 8; MS. II, 13, 8; AV. XX, 67, 3.
Verse 1. Note 1. There is no doubt that the reading of the Rig-veda text vásum is correct; the Sama-veda has vásoh. Comp. H. O., Prolegomena, p. 280.
Note 2. 'Is it a play on the word? Like a priest knowing all things?' M.M.
Note 3. There is a metrical irregularity in this Påda ; it has six syllables instead of five before the caesura. The text, however, seems to be correct.
