A description of the experience
Samavedas – Chapter 01, Decade V Agni [verses 5 to 10]
Pray Agni of the piercing flame, with sacred songs, to be our help
For wealth, famed Agni, Purumilha and ye men! He is Suditi’s sure defence
Hear, Agni who hast ears to hear, with all thy train of escort gods!
With those who come at dawn let Mitra, Aryaman sit on the grass at sacrifice
Agni of Divodasa, comes forth like Indra in his might
Rapidly hath he moved along his mother Earth
he stands in high heaven’s dwelling place
Whether thou come from Earth or from the lofty lucid realm of heaven,
Wax stronger in thy body through my song of praise;
fill full all creatures, O most wise.
If, loving well the forests, thou wentest to thy maternal floods
Not to be scorned, Agni, is that return of thine when
from afar, thou now art here
O Agni, Manu stabilised thee a light for all the race of men
With Kanva hast thou blazed, Law born and waxen strong
thou whom the people reverence.
