ऋग्वेद 5.15 (श्लोक 5) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

प्र वेधसे कवये वेद्याय गिरं भरे यशसे पूर्व्याय । घृतप्रसत्तो असुरः सुशेवो रायो धर्ता धरुणो वस्वो अग्निः ॥

pra vedhase kavaye vedyāya giraṃ bhare yaśase pūrvyāya | ghṛtaprasatto asuraḥ suśevo rāyo dhartā dharuṇo vasvo agniḥ ||

I offer praise to Agni, the creator, the far-seeing, the adorable, the renowned, the first (of the gods); he who is propitiated by oblations, the strong, the giver of happiness, the possessor of riches, the receiver of oblations, the bestower of oblations.

ऋतेन ऋतं धरुणं धारयन्त यज्ञस्य शाके परमे व्योमन् । दिवो धर्मन्धरुणे सेदुषो नॄञ्जातैरजाताँ अभि ये ननक्षुः ॥

ṛtena ṛtaṃ dharuṇaṃ dhārayanta yajñasya śāke parame vyoman | divo dharmandharuṇe seduṣo nṝñjātairajātā~ abhi ye nanakṣuḥ ||

They are detaining by sacrifice the true recipient (of offerings) in the most eminent plural ce of the ceremony, who brings together the leaders (of the rite), the unborn with the born, (or gods and men), as seated at the solemnity which is the stay of heaven.

अङ्होयुवस्तन्वस्तन्वते वि वयो महद्दुष्टरं पूर्व्याय । स संवतो नवजातस्तुतुर्यात्सिङ्हं न क्रुद्धमभितः परि ष्ठुः ॥

aṅhoyuvastanvastanvate vi vayo mahadduṣṭaraṃ pūrvyāya | sa saṃvato navajātastuturyātsiṅhaṃ na kruddhamabhitaḥ pari ṣṭhuḥ ||

They who (present) to the chief (of the gods) the great food (of sacrifice), unattainable (by the rākṣasas), enjoy forms exempt from defect; may that new-born Agni scatter assembled (hosts); let them stand from around me as (deer avoid) an angry lion.

मातेव यद्भरसे पप्रथानो जनंजनं धायसे चक्षसे च । वयोवयो जरसे यद्दधानः परि त्मना विषुरूपो जिगासि ॥

māteva yadbharase paprathāno janaṃjanaṃ dhāyase cakṣase ca | vayovayo jarase yaddadhānaḥ pari tmanā viṣurūpo jigāsi ||

When, everywhere predominating, you cherish all men like a mother, and (are implored by all) to behold and to support them; and when, being detained, you mature every kind of food, then, multiform (Agni), you comprise (all beings) in yourself.

वाजो नु ते शवसस्पात्वन्तमुरुं दोघं धरुणं देव रायः । पदं न तायुर्गुहा दधानो महो राये चितयन्नत्रिमस्पः ॥

vājo nu te śavasaspātvantamuruṃ doghaṃ dharuṇaṃ deva rāyaḥ | padaṃ na tāyurguhā dadhāno maho rāye citayannatrimaspaḥ ||

Divine, Agni, may the (sacrificial) food, the vast yielder (of benefits to men), the sustainer of riches, support the utmost of your vigour; and do you considering (the means of acquiring) great riches, like a thief keeping concealed the article (he has stolen), be propitious to Atri.
