iii. 3. 1.
O Agni, brilliant, be thou brilliant among the gods; make me brilliant, of long life, radiant among men; for the brilliance of consecration and of penance do I offer to thee. Thou dost win brilliance; may brilliance forsake me not, may I forsake not brilliance, may brilliance forsake me not. O Indra, full of force, be thou full of force among the gods, make me full of force, of long life, radiant among men; for the force of the Brahmanhood and royalty [1] do I offer to thee. Thou dost win force; may force forsake me not, may I forsake not force, may force forsake me not. O sun, blazing, be thou blazing among the gods; make me blazing, of long life, radiant among men; for the blazing of the wind and of the waters do I offer to thee. Thou dost win the light; may the light forsake me not, may I not forsake the light, may the light forsake me not. On me wisdom, on me offspring, on me brilliance may Agni bestow; on me wisdom, on me offspring, on me power may Indra bestow; on me wisdom, on me offspring, on me blazing may Surya bestow.
