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.
