"Vedic Hymns, Part Ii (sbe46)\", by Hermann Oldenberg [1897],
p. 415
Ma\"N"D"Ala V, Hymn 24.
Ash\"T"Aka Iv, Adhyya 1, Varga 16.
1. Agni, be thou our nearest (friend) and our kind, protecting guardian.
2. Agni is Vasu, renowned as Vasu (or, renowned by goods). Obtain, (and) bestow (on us), most brilliant wealth 1.
3. Listen to us then; hear our call; deliver us from every harmful man.
4. We entreat thee now, O brightest, shining (Agni), for thy grace, for our friends.
Notes.
The "Ri"shis are the Gaupyanas or Laupyanas, Bandhu (verse 1), Subandhu (verse 2), "S"rutabandhu (verse 3), Viprabandhu (verse 4). The metre is Dvipad Vir"g".--Verses 1, 2, 4, 3 = Vs. Iii, 25-26. Verses 1, 4, 2, 3 = Ms. I, 5, 3. Verses 1, 2, 4 = Sv. Ii, 457-459; Vs. Xv, 48; Xxv, 47. Verses 1, 4, 2 = Ts. I, 5, 6, 2-3; Iv, 4, 4, 8. Verse 1 = Sv. I, 448.
Verse 2.
Note 1. The accusative dyumttamam raym seems to depend both on "k"kh" nakshi and on d"h". I cannot find any reason for preferring the reading of SV. and TS. dyumttama"h" (Ludwig).
