"Vedic Hymns, Part Ii (sbe46)\", by Hermann Oldenberg [1897],
p. 413
Ma\"N"D"Ala V, Hymn 22.
Ash\"T"Aka Iv, Adhyya 1, Varga 14.
1. Lo, Vi"s"vasman! Like Atri sing to him who purifies with his flames, to the Hot"ri" who should be magnified at the sacrifices, most delightful in the clan.
2 1. Lay down Agni "G"tavedas, the god, the priest. May the sacrifice which best encompasses the gods, proceed to-day in due order.
3. We, the mortals, approaching thee, the attentive-minded god, for thy help, have thought of thy desirable aid.
4. Agni, be intent on this--on this our word 1, O strong one. As such, O strong jawed 2 lord of the house, the Atris strengthen thee by their praises; the Atris beautify thee by their prayers.
Notes.
The "Ri"shi is Vi"s"vasman (see verse 1); the metre is the same.--No verse of this hymn occurs in the other Sa"m"hits.
Verse 2.
Note 1. With this verse compare below, V, 26, 7. 8.
Verse 4.
Note 1. The verb "k"it stands here first with the genitive asy, then with the accusative idm v"k"a"h".
Note 2. Compare vol. xxxii, p. 301 (ii, 34, 3, note 3).
