त्वां ह्यग्ने सदमित्समन्यवो देवासो देवमरतिं न्येरिर इति क्रत्वा न्येरिरे । अमर्त्यं यजत मर्त्येष्वा देवमादेवं जनत प्रचेतसं विश्वमादेवं जनत प्रचेतसम् ॥

tvāṃ hyagne sadamitsamanyavo devāso devamaratiṃ nyerira iti kratvā nyerire | amartyaṃ yajata martyeṣvā devamādevaṃ janata pracetasaṃ viśvamādevaṃ janata pracetasam ||

Since the emulous gods ever excite you, Agni, who are a deity swift of motion, (to contest), therefore do (your worshippers) urge you by their devotions (to bring the deities to their sacrifices); adorable Agni, they (the deities), have genitive rated you, immortal, divine, all-wise, as the present divinity among men; they have genitive rated you as the all-present and all-wise deity.

स भ्रातरं वरुणमग्न आ ववृत्स्व देवाँ अच्छा सुमती यज्ञवनसं ज्येष्ठं यज्ञवनसम् । ऋतावानमादित्यं चर्षणीधृतं राजानं चर्षणीधृतम् ॥

sa bhrātaraṃ varuṇamagna ā vavṛtsva devā~ acchā sumatī yajñavanasaṃ jyeṣṭhaṃ yajñavanasam | ṛtāvānamādityaṃ carṣaṇīdhṛtaṃ rājānaṃ carṣaṇīdhṛtam ||

Bring to the presence of the worshippers, Agni, your brother Varuṇa, as a participator fo the sacrifice, with a willing mind, the elder participator of the sacrifice; the ruler of the water, the Āditya, the supporter of men the sovereign venerated by mankind.

सखे सखायमभ्या ववृत्स्वाशुं न चक्रं रथ्येव रंह्यास्मभ्यं दस्म रंह्या । अग्ने मृऴीकं वरुणे सचा विदो मरुत्सु विश्वभानुषु । तोकाय तुजे शुशुचान शं कृध्यस्मभ्यं दस्म शं कृधि ॥

sakhe sakhāyamabhyā vavṛtsvāśuṃ na cakraṃ rathyeva raṃhyāsmabhyaṃ dasma raṃhyā | agne mṛḻīkaṃ varuṇe sacā vido marutsu viśvabhānuṣu | tokāya tuje śuśucāna śaṃ kṛdhyasmabhyaṃ dasma śaṃ kṛdhi ||

Friendly and beautiful (Agni), bring your friend (Varruṇa) to our presence, as two strong horses convey the swift chariot along the road to its goal; you receive, Agni, the gratifying (oblation) together with Varuṇa, and with the all-illuminig Maruts; grant, brilliant Agni, happiness to our sons and grandsons; grant, beautiful Agni, happiness to ourselves.

त्वं नो अग्ने वरुणस्य विद्वान्देवस्य हेऴोऽव यासिसीष्ठाः । यजिष्ठो वह्नितमः शोशुचानो विश्वा द्वेषांसि प्र मुमुग्ध्यस्मत् ॥

tvaṃ no agne varuṇasya vidvāndevasya heḻo'va yāsisīṣṭhāḥ | yajiṣṭho vahnitamaḥ śośucāno viśvā dveṣāṃsi pra mumugdhyasmat ||

May you Agni, who are wise, avert from us the wrath of the divine Varuṇa; do you, who are the most frequent sacrificer, the most diligent bearer (of oblations), the most resplendent liberate us from all animosities.

स त्वं नो अग्नेऽवमो भवोती नेदिष्ठो अस्या उषसो व्युष्टौ । अव यक्ष्व नो वरुणं रराणो वीहि मृऴीकं सुहवो न एधि ॥

sa tvaṃ no agne'vamo bhavotī nediṣṭho asyā uṣaso vyuṣṭau | ava yakṣva no varuṇaṃ rarāṇo vīhi mṛḻīkaṃ suhavo na edhi ||

Do you Agni our preserver bemost nigh to us with your protection at the breaking of this dawn; deprecate Varuṇa for us and propitiated (by our praise) feed upon the grateful (oblation), and be to us of auspicious invocation.

अस्य श्रेष्ठा सुभगस्य संदृग्देवस्य चित्रतमा मर्त्येषु । शुचि घृतं न तप्तमघ्न्यायाः स्पार्हा देवस्य मंहनेव धेनोः ॥

asya śreṣṭhā subhagasya saṃdṛgdevasya citratamā martyeṣu | śuci ghṛtaṃ na taptamaghnyāyāḥ spārhā devasya maṃhaneva dhenoḥ ||

The glance of this auspicious deity, directed towards men, is most excellent, most wonderful, acceptable (to all) as the pure warm butter (from the milk) of the cow (is acceptable) to the deity; as the gift of a cow (is to a man).

त्रिरस्य ता परमा सन्ति सत्या स्पार्हा देवस्य जनिमान्यग्नेः । अनन्ते अन्तः परिवीत आगाच्छुचिः शुक्रो अर्यो रोरुचानः ॥

trirasya tā paramā santi satyā spārhā devasya janimānyagneḥ | anante antaḥ parivīta āgācchuciḥ śukro aryo rorucānaḥ ||

These are the supreme, true, and desirable births of this divine Agni, invested (with radiance) in the unbounded (firmament); pure, bright, radiant lord (of all), may he come (to our) sacrifice.

स दूतो विश्वेदभि वष्टि सद्मा होता हिरण्यरथो रंसुजिह्वः । रोहिदश्वो वपुष्यो विभावा सदा रण्वः पितुमतीव संसत् ॥

sa dūto viśvedabhi vaṣṭi sadmā hotā hiraṇyaratho raṃsujihvaḥ | rohidaśvo vapuṣyo vibhāvā sadā raṇvaḥ pitumatīva saṃsat ||

The messenger, the invoker (of the gods), riding in a golden chariot with a tongue of flame, he frequents all the chambers (of sacrifice); drawn by red horses embodied resplendent, always agreeable, as a delling well supplied with food.

स चेतयन्मनुषो यज्ञबन्धुः प्र तं मह्या रशनया नयन्ति । स क्षेत्यस्य दुर्यासु साधन्देवो मर्तस्य सधनित्वमाप ॥

sa cetayanmanuṣo yajñabandhuḥ pra taṃ mahyā raśanayā nayanti | sa kṣetyasya duryāsu sādhandevo martasya sadhanitvamāpa ||

Associated with sacrifice, and knowing those men (who are engaged in good works), they lead him with the strong cord (of praise); he, the divine Agni, fulfilling (all desires), abides in the dwelling of this mortal, and obtains fellowhip in his wealth.

स तू नो अग्निर्नयतु प्रजानन्नच्छा रत्नं देवभक्तं यदस्य । धिया यद्विश्वे अमृता अकृण्वन्द्यौष्पिता जनिता सत्यमुक्षन् ॥

sa tū no agnirnayatu prajānannacchā ratnaṃ devabhaktaṃ yadasya | dhiyā yadviśve amṛtā akṛṇvandyauṣpitā janitā satyamukṣan ||

May that wise Agni conduct us to that wealth which is desired by the devout; he whom all the immortals have created for (the performance of) sacred oblations, the most rresplendent, liberate us from all animosities.

स जायत प्रथमः पस्त्यासु महो बुध्ने रजसो अस्य योनौ । अपादशीर्षा गुहमानो अन्तायोयुवानो वृषभस्य नीऴे ॥

sa jāyata prathamaḥ pastyāsu maho budhne rajaso asya yonau | apādaśīrṣā guhamāno antāyoyuvāno vṛṣabhasya nīḻe ||

He is first engendered in the habitation (of the sacrificers); then upon his station, (the altar), the base of the vast firmament; without feet, without head, concealing his extremities, combining with smoke in the nest of the rain-cloud.

प्र शर्ध आर्त प्रथमं विपन्याँ ऋतस्य योना वृषभस्य नीऴे । स्पार्हो युवा वपुष्यो विभावा सप्त प्रियासोऽजनयन्त वृष्णे ॥

pra śardha ārta prathamaṃ vipanyā~ ṛtasya yonā vṛṣabhasya nīḻe | spārho yuvā vapuṣyo vibhāvā sapta priyāso'janayanta vṛṣṇe ||

Radiance has first proceeded to you, (Agni), who are glorified by praise, in the womb of the water, in the nest of the rain-cloud; the seven attached (priests) have engendered (praise) to the showerer (of benefits), who desirable, ever young, embodied, and resplendent.

अस्माकमत्र पितरो मनुष्या अभि प्र सेदुॠतमाशुषाणाः । अश्मव्रजाः सुदुघा वव्रे अन्तरुदुस्रा आजन्नुषसो हुवानाः ॥

asmākamatra pitaro manuṣyā abhi pra seduṝtamāśuṣāṇāḥ | aśmavrajāḥ sudughā vavre antarudusrā ājannuṣaso huvānāḥ ||

In this world, our mortal forefathers departed after instrumental tuting the sacred rite, when, calling upon the dawn, they extricated the milk-yielding kine, concealed among the rocks in the darkness (of the cave).

ते मर्मृजत ददृवांसो अद्रिं तदेषामन्ये अभितो वि वोचन् । पश्वयन्त्रासो अभि कारमर्चन्विदन्त ज्योतिश्चकृपन्त धीभिः ॥

te marmṛjata dadṛvāṃso adriṃ tadeṣāmanye abhito vi vocan | paśvayantrāso abhi kāramarcanvidanta jyotiścakṛpanta dhībhiḥ ||

Rending the rocks, they worshipped (Agni), and other (sages) taught everywhere their (acts); unprovided with the means of (extricating) the cattle, they glorified the author of success, whence they found the light, and were thus enabled (to worship him) with holy ceremonies.

ते गव्यता मनसा दृध्रमुब्धं गा येमानं परि षन्तमद्रिम् । दृऴ्हं नरो वचसा दैव्येन व्रजं गोमन्तमुशिजो वि वव्रुः ॥

te gavyatā manasā dṛdhramubdhaṃ gā yemānaṃ pari ṣantamadrim | dṛḻhaṃ naro vacasā daivyena vrajaṃ gomantamuśijo vi vavruḥ ||

Devoted to (Agni), those leaders (of sacred rites), with minds intent upon (recovering) the cattle, forced open, by (the power) of divine prayer, the obstructing, compact, solid mountain confining the cows, a cow-pen full of kine.

ते मन्वत प्रथमं नाम धेनोस्त्रिः सप्त मातुः परमाणि विन्दन् । तज्जानतीरभ्यनूषत व्रा आविर्भुवदरुणीर्यशसा गोः ॥

te manvata prathamaṃ nāma dhenostriḥ sapta mātuḥ paramāṇi vindan | tajjānatīrabhyanūṣata vrā āvirbhuvadaruṇīryaśasā goḥ ||

They first have comprehended the name of the kine, knowing the thrice seven excellent (forms) or the maternal (rhythm); then they glorified the conscious dawns and the purple dawn appeared with the radiance of the sun.

नेशत्तमो दुधितं रोचत द्यौरुद्देव्या उषसो भानुरर्त । आ सूर्यो बृहतस्तिष्ठदज्राँ ऋजु मर्तेषु वृजिना च पश्यन् ॥

neśattamo dudhitaṃ rocata dyauruddevyā uṣaso bhānurarta | ā sūryo bṛhatastiṣṭhadajrā~ ṛju marteṣu vṛjinā ca paśyan ||

The scattered darkness was destroyed; the firmament glowed with radiance; the lustre of the divine dawn arose; then the sun stood above the undecaying mountains, beholding all that was right or wrong among mankind.

आदित्पश्चा बुबुधाना व्यख्यन्नादिद्रत्नं धारयन्त द्युभक्तम् । विश्वे विश्वासु दुर्यासु देवा मित्र धिये वरुण सत्यमस्तु ॥

āditpaścā bubudhānā vyakhyannādidratnaṃ dhārayanta dyubhaktam | viśve viśvāsu duryāsu devā mitra dhiye varuṇa satyamastu ||

Thereupon awaking, the (Aṅgirasas) beheld (the cattle set free), and seized upon the precious treasures; the universal gods then came to all (their) dwellings; Mitra and Varuṇa may your truth be (kept) to him who worships (you).

अच्छा वोचेय शुशुचानमग्निं होतारं विश्वभरसं यजिष्ठम् । शुच्यूधो अतृणन्न गवामन्धो न पूतं परिषिक्तमंशोः ॥

acchā voceya śuśucānamagniṃ hotāraṃ viśvabharasaṃ yajiṣṭham | śucyūdho atṛṇanna gavāmandho na pūtaṃ pariṣiktamaṃśoḥ ||

May I glorify the present radiant Agni, the invoker (of the gods), the supporter of the universe, most deserving of adoration, without milking the pure udder (of the cow), without the purified food of the Soma offered in libation.

विश्वेषामदितिर्यज्ञियानां विश्वेषामतिथिर्मानुषाणाम् । अग्निर्देवानामव आवृणानः सुमृऴीको भवतु जातवेदाः ॥

viśveṣāmaditiryajñiyānāṃ viśveṣāmatithirmānuṣāṇām | agnirdevānāmava āvṛṇānaḥ sumṛḻīko bhavatu jātavedāḥ ||

May Agni be the Aditi of all those in whom sacrifice is offered; may he be the guest of all men; receiving the (sacrificial) food of the devout may he to whom all is known, be the bestower of felicity.
