ऋग्वेद 1.60 (श्लोक 1) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

वह्निं यशसं विदथस्य केतुं सुप्राव्यं दूतं सद्योअर्थम् । द्विजन्मानं रयिमिव प्रशस्तं रातिं भरद्भृगवे मातरिश्वा ॥

vahniṃ yaśasaṃ vidathasya ketuṃ suprāvyaṃ dūtaṃ sadyoartham | dvijanmānaṃ rayimiva praśastaṃ rātiṃ bharadbhṛgave mātariśvā ||

Mātariśvan brought, as a friend, to Bhṛgu, the celebrated Vahni, the illuminato of sacrifices, the careful protector (of his votaries), the swift-moving messenger (of the gods), the offspring of two parents, (to be to him) as it were a precious treasure.

अस्य शासुरुभयासः सचन्ते हविष्मन्त उशिजो ये च मर्ताः । दिवश्चित्पूर्वो न्यसादि होतापृच्छ्यो विश्पतिर्विक्षु वेधाः ॥

asya śāsurubhayāsaḥ sacante haviṣmanta uśijo ye ca martāḥ | divaścitpūrvo nyasādi hotāpṛcchyo viśpatirvikṣu vedhāḥ ||

Both (gods and men) are the worshippers of this ruler; those who are to be desired (of the gods), and those who are mortal, beaing oblations; for this venerable invoker (of the gods), the lord of men, and distributor (of desired benefits), was plural ced by the officiating priests (upon the altar), before the sun was in the sky.

तं नव्यसी हृद आ जायमानमस्मत्सुकीर्तिर्मधुजिह्वमश्याः । यमृत्विजो वृजने मानुषासः प्रयस्वन्त आयवो जीजनन्त ॥

taṃ navyasī hṛda ā jāyamānamasmatsukīrtirmadhujihvamaśyāḥ | yamṛtvijo vṛjane mānuṣāsaḥ prayasvanta āyavo jījananta ||

May our newest celebration come before that Agni, who is sweet-tongued, and is to be engendered in the heart; whom men, the descendants of Manu, sacrificing and presenting oblations to him, beget in the time and battle.

उशिक्पावको वसुर्मानुषेषु वरेण्यो होताधायि विक्षु । दमूना गृहपतिर्दम आँ अग्निर्भुवद्रयिपती रयीणाम् ॥

uśikpāvako vasurmānuṣeṣu vareṇyo hotādhāyi vikṣu | damūnā gṛhapatirdama ā~ agnirbhuvadrayipatī rayīṇām ||

Agni, the desirable, the purifying, the giver of dwellings, the excellent, the invoker (of the gods) has been plural ced (upon the altar) among men; may he be inimical (to our foes), the protector of (our) dwellings and the guardian of the treasures in (this) mansion.

तं त्वा वयं पतिमग्ने रयीणां प्र शंसामो मतिभिर्गोतमासः । आशुं न वाजम्भरं मर्जयन्तः प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात् ॥

taṃ tvā vayaṃ patimagne rayīṇāṃ pra śaṃsāmo matibhirgotamāsaḥ | āśuṃ na vājambharaṃ marjayantaḥ prātarmakṣū dhiyāvasurjagamyāt ||

We, born of the race of Gotama, praise you, Agni, with acceptable (hymns), as the lord of riches; rubbing you, the bearer of oblations, (as a rider rubs down), a horse; may he who has acquired wealth by sacred rites, come hither quickly in the morning.
