Sukta 99
Sukta 1.99
Agni (Jātavedas)
Dieser einversige Hymnus ruft Agni als Jātavedas, das allwissende Feuer, an, während Soma als Opfergabe gepresst wird, um das Ritual zu stärken. Agni wird gebeten, feindliche Absicht zu verbrennen und den Verehrer sicher über jeden schwierigen Übergang zu geleiten – wie ein Boot über den Fluss –, fort von Gefahr und von falschen Wegen.
