HYMN XXIX

To Agni and Vishnu

1This is your glorious might, Agni and Vishnu! Ye drink the
   essence of the mystic butter.
  Placing in every home seven costly treasures. Let your tongue
   stretch to take the offered fatness.
2Ye love the great law, Agni Vishnu! joying, ye feast on mystic
   essences of butter,
  Exalted in each house with fair laudation. Let your tongue
   stretch to take the offered fatness.
