A description of the experience
Samavedas – Chapter 01, Decade II Agni
O Agni, the people sing reverent praise to thee for strength
With terrors trouble thou the foe
I seek with song your messenger, oblation bearer, lord of wealth
Best at sacrifice
Still turning to their aim in thee the sacrificer’s sister hymns
Have come to thee before the wind
To thee, illuminer of Night, O Agni, day by day with prayer
Bringing thee reverence, we come
Help, thou who knowest lauds, this work, a lovely hymn in Rudra’s praise
Adorable in every house!
To this fair sacrifice to drink the milky draught art thou called forth:
O Agni, with the Maruts come
With homage will I reverence thee, Agni, like a long tailed steed
Imperial lord of holy rites
As Aurva and as Bhrigu called, as Apnavana called, I call
The radiant Agni robed with sea.
When he enkindles Agni, man should with his heart attend the song
I kindle Agni till he glows
Then verily, they see the Light refulgent of primeval seed
Kindled on yonder side of heaven
