नि काव्या वेधसः शश्वतस्कर्हस्ते दधानो नर्या पुरूणि । अग्निर्भुवद्रयिपती रयीणां सत्रा चक्राणो अमृतानि विश्वा ॥

ni kāvyā vedhasaḥ śaśvataskarhaste dadhāno naryā purūṇi | agnirbhuvadrayipatī rayīṇāṃ satrā cakrāṇo amṛtāni viśvā ||

Agni, holding in his hands many good things for men, appropriates the prayers addressed to the eternal creator. Agni is the lord of riches, quickly bestowing (on those who praise him) all golden (gifts).

अस्मे वत्सं परि षन्तं न विन्दन्निच्छन्तो विश्वे अमृता अमूराः । श्रमयुवः पदव्यो धियंधास्तस्थुः पदे परमे चार्वग्नेः ॥

asme vatsaṃ pari ṣantaṃ na vindannicchanto viśve amṛtā amūrāḥ | śramayuvaḥ padavyo dhiyaṃdhāstasthuḥ pade parame cārvagneḥ ||

All the immortals, and the unbewildered (Maruts), wishing for him who was (dear) to us as a son, and was everywhere around, discovered him not; oppressed with fatigue, wandering on foot, and cognizant of his acts, they stopped at the last beautiful (hiding) plural ce of Agni.

तिस्रो यदग्ने शरदस्त्वामिच्छुचिं घृतेन शुचयः सपर्यान् । नामानि चिद्दधिरे यज्ञियान्यसूदयन्त तन्वः सुजाताः ॥

tisro yadagne śaradastvāmicchuciṃ ghṛtena śucayaḥ saparyān | nāmāni ciddadhire yajñiyānyasūdayanta tanvaḥ sujātāḥ ||

Inasmuch, Agni, as the pure (Maruts) worshipped you, (equally) pure, with clarified butter for three years, therefore they acquired names worthy (to be treated) at sacrifice, and, being regenerated obtained celestial bodies.

आ रोदसी बृहती वेविदानाः प्र रुद्रिया जभ्रिरे यज्ञियासः । विदन्मर्तो नेमधिता चिकित्वानग्निं पदे परमे तस्थिवांसम् ॥

ā rodasī bṛhatī vevidānāḥ pra rudriyā jabhrire yajñiyāsaḥ | vidanmarto nemadhitā cikitvānagniṃ pade parame tasthivāṃsam ||

Those who are to be worshipped, (the gods), inquiring between the expansive heaven and earth (for Agni), recited (hymns) dedicated to Rudra; the troop of mortal (Maruts), with (Indra), the shrer of half the oblation, knowing where Agni was hiding found him in his excellent retreat.

संजानाना उप सीदन्नभिज्ञु पत्नीवन्तो नमस्यं नमस्यन् । रिरिक्वांसस्तन्वः कृण्वत स्वाः सखा सख्युर्निमिषि रक्षमाणाः ॥

saṃjānānā upa sīdannabhijñu patnīvanto namasyaṃ namasyan | ririkvāṃsastanvaḥ kṛṇvata svāḥ sakhā sakhyurnimiṣi rakṣamāṇāḥ ||

The gods, discovering you, sat down, and with their wives paid reverntial adoration to you upon their knees. Secure on beholding their friend, of being protected, your friends, the gods, abandoned the rest of their bodies in sacrifice.

त्रिः सप्त यद्गुह्यानि त्वे इत्पदाविदन्निहिता यज्ञियासः । तेभी रक्षन्ते अमृतं सजोषाः पशूञ्च स्थातॄञ्चरथं च पाहि ॥

triḥ sapta yadguhyāni tve itpadāvidannihitā yajñiyāsaḥ | tebhī rakṣante amṛtaṃ sajoṣāḥ paśūñca sthātṝñcarathaṃ ca pāhi ||

(Devout men), competent to offer sacrifices, have known the thrice seven mystic rites comprised in you, and with them, worshipped you; do you, therefore, with like affection, protect their cattle, and all that (belongs to them), moveable or stationary.

विद्वाँ अग्ने वयुनानि क्षितीनां व्यानुषक्छुरुधो जीवसे धाः । अन्तर्विद्वाँ अध्वनो देवयानानतन्द्रो दूतो अभवो हविर्वाट् ॥

vidvā~ agne vayunāni kṣitīnāṃ vyānuṣakchurudho jīvase dhāḥ | antarvidvā~ adhvano devayānānatandro dūto abhavo havirvāṭ ||

Agni, who are cognizant of all things to be known, ever provide for the subsistence of men, grief-alleviating (food); so shall you be the diligent bearer of oblations, and messenger of the gods, knowing the paths between (earth and heaven), by which they travel.

स्वाध्यो दिव आ सप्त यह्वी रायो दुरो व्यृतज्ञा अजानन् । विदद्गव्यं सरमा दृऴ्हमूर्वं येना नु कं मानुषी भोजते विट् ॥

svādhyo diva ā sapta yahvī rāyo duro vyṛtajñā ajānan | vidadgavyaṃ saramā dṛḻhamūrvaṃ yenā nu kaṃ mānuṣī bhojate viṭ ||

The seven pure rivers that flow from heaven (are directed, Agni, by you; by you, the priests), skilled in sacrifices, knew the doors of the (cave where) the treasure, (their cattle), were concealed for you Saramā discovered the abundant milk of the kine with which man, the progeny of Manu, still is nourished.

आ ये विश्वा स्वपत्यानि तस्थुः कृण्वानासो अमृतत्वाय गातुम् । मह्ना महद्भिः पृथिवी वि तस्थे माता पुत्रैरदितिर्धायसे वेः ॥

ā ye viśvā svapatyāni tasthuḥ kṛṇvānāso amṛtatvāya gātum | mahnā mahadbhiḥ pṛthivī vi tasthe mātā putrairaditirdhāyase veḥ ||

You have been fed, (Agni, with oblations) ever since the Ādityas, devising a road to immortality; instrumental tuted all (the sacred rites) that secured them from failing and mother earth, Aditi, strove with her magnitude to uphold (the world), along with her mighty sons.

अधि श्रियं नि दधुश्चारुमस्मिन्दिवो यदक्षी अमृता अकृण्वन् । अध क्षरन्ति सिन्धवो न सृष्टाः प्र नीचीरग्ने अरुषीरजानन् ॥

adhi śriyaṃ ni dadhuścārumasmindivo yadakṣī amṛtā akṛṇvan | adha kṣaranti sindhavo na sṛṣṭāḥ pra nīcīragne aruṣīrajānan ||

(The offerers of oblations) have plural ced in this (Agni) the graceful honours (of the ceremony), and the two portions of clarified butter that are the two eyes (of the sacrifice); then the immortals come from heaven, and your bright flames, Agni, spread in all directions like rushing rivers, and the gods perceive it (and rejoice).
