[rv-4-6] • 11 श्लोकाः

ऊर्ध्व ऊ षु णो अध्वरस्य होतरग्ने तिष्ठ देवताता यजीयान् । त्वं हि विश्वमभ्यसि मन्म प्र वेधसश्चित्तिरसि मनीषाम् ॥

ūrdhva ū ṣu ṇo adhvarasya hotaragne tiṣṭha devatātā yajīyān | tvaṃ hi viśvamabhyasi manma pra vedhasaścittirasi manīṣām ||

Agni, ministrant of the sacrifice, do you who are entitled to worship, be above usin this offering to the gods; for you prevail over all that is desirable; you inspire the praise of the worshipper.

अमूरो होता न्यसादि विक्ष्वग्निर्मन्द्रो विदथेषु प्रचेताः । ऊर्ध्वं भानुं सवितेवाश्रेन्मेतेव धूमं स्तभायदुप द्याम् ॥

amūro hotā nyasādi vikṣvagnirmandro vidatheṣu pracetāḥ | ūrdhvaṃ bhānuṃ savitevāśrenmeteva dhūmaṃ stabhāyadupa dyām ||

The unperplexed, the sagacious, exhilarating Agni, the ministrant priest, has been plural ced among men for (the celebration of) sacrifices; like the sun, he spreads light above, and props the smoke above the sky like a pillar.

यता सुजूर्णी रातिनी घृताची प्रदक्षिणिद्देवतातिमुराणः । उदु स्वरुर्नवजा नाक्रः पश्वो अनक्ति सुधितः सुमेकः ॥

yatā sujūrṇī rātinī ghṛtācī pradakṣiṇiddevatātimurāṇaḥ | udu svarurnavajā nākraḥ paśvo anakti sudhitaḥ sumekaḥ ||

The ladle filled (with butter) is prepared; prompt (in act), opulent (with the oblation), the multiplying (priest), conducting (the worship) of the gods, circumambulates (the fire); the newly-trimmed post is set up, the impending shining axe falls upon the victims.

स्तीर्णे बर्हिषि समिधाने अग्ना ऊर्ध्वो अध्वर्युर्जुजुषाणो अस्थात् । पर्यग्निः पशुपा न होता त्रिविष्ट्येति प्रदिव उराणः ॥

stīrṇe barhiṣi samidhāne agnā ūrdhvo adhvaryurjujuṣāṇo asthāt | paryagniḥ paśupā na hotā triviṣṭyeti pradiva urāṇaḥ ||

When the sacred grass is strewn and the fire is kindled, the Adhvaryu rises, propitiating (the gods), and Agni, the offerer of the oblation, ancient and multiplying (the offering), thrice circumambulates (the victim) like a keeper of cattle.

परि त्मना मितद्रुरेति होताग्निर्मन्द्रो मधुवचा ऋतावा । द्रवन्त्यस्य वाजिनो न शोका भयन्ते विश्वा भुवना यदभ्राट् ॥

pari tmanā mitadrureti hotāgnirmandro madhuvacā ṛtāvā | dravantyasya vājino na śokā bhayante viśvā bhuvanā yadabhrāṭ ||

Agni, the sacrificer, the exhilarator, the sweet-spoken, the object of sacrifice, moving measuredly, circumambulates (the victim) of his own (accord); the bright (rays) of him (fed) with (sacrificial) food, spread around; all the regions are alarmed when he blazes.

भद्रा ते अग्ने स्वनीक संदृग्घोरस्य सतो विषुणस्य चारुः । न यत्ते शोचिस्तमसा वरन्त न ध्वस्मानस्तन्वी रेप आ धुः ॥

bhadrā te agne svanīka saṃdṛgghorasya sato viṣuṇasya cāruḥ | na yatte śocistamasā varanta na dhvasmānastanvī repa ā dhuḥ ||

Bright-shining, Agni, beautiful and auspicious is the semblance of you who are terrible and wide-spreading, for (the nights) hide not your splendour with darkness, nor do the malignant (spirits) inflict any injury on your person n.

न यस्य सातुर्जनितोरवारि न मातरापितरा नू चिदिष्टौ । अधा मित्रो न सुधितः पावकोऽग्निर्दीदाय मानुषीषु विक्षु ॥

na yasya sāturjanitoravāri na mātarāpitarā nū cidiṣṭau | adhā mitro na sudhitaḥ pāvako'gnirdīdāya mānuṣīṣu vikṣu ||

Of whom, progenitor (of mankind), the benevolence is never checked; whose parents need not urge him to exertion; so that the well-satisfied, purifying Agni shines like a friend among men, the descendants of Manu.

द्विर्यं पञ्च जीजनन्त्संवसानाः स्वसारो अग्निं मानुषीषु विक्षु । उषर्बुधमथर्यो न दन्तं शुक्रं स्वासं परशुं न तिग्मम् ॥

dviryaṃ pañca jījanantsaṃvasānāḥ svasāro agniṃ mānuṣīṣu vikṣu | uṣarbudhamatharyo na dantaṃ śukraṃ svāsaṃ paraśuṃ na tigmam ||

Agni, whom the twice five sisters dwelling among men, the descendants of Manu, have engendered, like feminine les, (awaking) him at dawn, feeding on oblations, brilliant of goodly aspect, and shharp as an axe.

तव त्ये अग्ने हरितो घृतस्ना रोहितास ऋज्वञ्चः स्वञ्चः । अरुषासो वृषण ऋजुमुष्का आ देवतातिमह्वन्त दस्माः ॥

tava tye agne harito ghṛtasnā rohitāsa ṛjvañcaḥ svañcaḥ | aruṣāso vṛṣaṇa ṛjumuṣkā ā devatātimahvanta dasmāḥ ||

Your horses, Agni, breathing foam, red-coloured, straight-going well-plural ced, bright-shining, vigorous, well-membered, and of graceful form, are summoned to the worthy of the gods.

ये ह त्ये ते सहमाना अयासस्त्वेषासो अग्ने अर्चयश्चरन्ति । श्येनासो न दुवसनासो अर्थं तुविष्वणसो मारुतं न शर्धः ॥

ye ha tye te sahamānā ayāsastveṣāso agne arcayaścaranti | śyenāso na duvasanāso arthaṃ tuviṣvaṇaso mārutaṃ na śardhaḥ ||

Those, your rays, Agni, triumphant, wide-spreading, radiant, adorable, go like hawk-faced horses (to their goal), loud-sounding like the company of the Maruts.

अकारि ब्रह्म समिधान तुभ्यं शंसात्युक्थं यजते व्यू धाः । होतारमग्निं मनुषो नि षेदुर्नमस्यन्त उशिजः शंसमायोः ॥

akāri brahma samidhāna tubhyaṃ śaṃsātyukthaṃ yajate vyū dhāḥ | hotāramagniṃ manuṣo ni ṣedurnamasyanta uśijaḥ śaṃsamāyoḥ ||

Well-kindled Agni, for you the prayer has been composed; may (the priest) propitiate (you) by (his) praise; the (sacrificer) offers worship; bestow upon us manifold (wealth); desiring (riches), men sit down adoring Agni, the invoker of the gods, the glorifier of mankind.
