Sukta 1.128
क्रत्वा यदस्य तविषीषु पृञ्चतेऽग्नेरवेण मरुतां न भोज्येषिराय न भोज्या । स हि ष्मा दानमिन्वति वसूनां च मज्मना । स नस्त्रासते दुरितादभिह्रुतः शंसादघादभिह्रुतः ॥
krátvā yád asya táviṣīṣu pṛñcáte’gnér avéna marútāṃ ná bhojyé iṣiráya ná bhojyā́ | sá hí ṣmā dā́nam ínvati vásūnāṃ ca májmanā | sá nas trāsate duritā́d abhí-hrutaḥ śaṃsā́d aghā́d abhí-hrutaḥ ||
When by his will his mights are yoked and filled—by Agni’s protection—like the Maruts for the enjoyer, like powers for the impeller, not for a lesser use. For he indeed drives forward the giving of riches and, by his greatness, their increase. He protects us from the crookedness that strikes from without, from hostile speech, from sin that strikes from without.
