O luminous one! O dispeller of darkness! Thou shinest forth in thy eternal splendor. The night doth flee at thy approach. The shadows do shrink and disappear. Thou art the eternal enemy of all that is dark and hidden.

Agni, thy light reacheth to the uttermost corners of creation. No concealment can hide from thee. The demons that dwell in darkness do tremble at thy coming. They do flee to their hidden lairs and cower there, hoping to escape thy penetrating gaze. But thy light followeth them even into the deepest caves and the darkest dungeons.

Yet art thou not merely a destroyer of darkness. Thou art also a revealer of truth. In thy light, all things do appear as they truly are. Deception cannot stand before thee. Lies are burned away like chaff before the wind. In thy presence, the hidden is made manifest. The secret is brought to light.

Thou givest sight to those who grope in darkness. When the mortal world doth seem bleak and hopeless, thy light doth shine forth and illumine the path ahead. When despair threateneth to overwhelm us, thy brightness doth give us hope and courage to continue.

O radiant and luminous Agni! We sing thy praises. We kindle thy flames in gratitude. Thou art the banner of light eternal, the ever-burning beacon in the darkness. Stand guard against all that would harm us. Illuminate the pathways we must walk. Give us the light to see truth. Give us the courage to face reality without fear. Let thy eternal flame burn within our hearts.
