Sukta 99
Sukta 1.99
Agni (Jātavedas)
Cet hymne d’un seul vers invoque Agni en tant que Jātavedas, le feu omniscient, tandis que le Soma est pressé en offrande pour fortifier le rite. On prie Agni de consumer l’intention hostile et de faire passer l’adorant sain et sauf au-delà de tout passage difficile — tel un bateau traversant une rivière — loin du péril et des voies erronées.
