Rig Veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1896]
1 To this fair sacrifice to drink the milky draught thou art invoked: O Agni, with the Maruts come.
2 No mortal man, no God exceeds thy mental power, O Mighty one: O Agni, with the Maruts come:
3 All Gods devoid of guile, who know the mighty region of mid-air: O Agni, with those Maruts come.
4 The terrible, who sing their song, not to be overcome by might: O Agni, with those Maruts come.
5 Brilliant, and awful in their form, mighty, devourers of their foes: O Agni, with those Maruts come.
6 Who sit as Deities in heaven, above the sky-vault's luminous sphere: O Agni, with those Maruts come.
7 Who scatter clouds about the sky, away over the billowy sea: O Agni, with those Maruts come.
8 Who with their bright beams spread them forth over the ocean in their might O Agni, with those Maruts come.
9 For thee, to be thine early draught, I pour the Soma-mingled meath: O Agni, with the Maruts come.
