Those who praise Agni, the divine fire, invoke him with a fresh Gāyatrī hymn, seeking wealth and heroic sons. With pure flame and the fullness of divine invocations, they entreat Agni to accept their hymn, honoring him as the sacred priest. When Agni is well-kindled, he is called upon to bring the gods to the one offering oblations. As the pure priest established by Manu, he is asked to worship and serve, making today’s sacrifice honey-sweet and auspicious for the well-being of all. The invocation extends to Narāśaṃsa, beloved in the ritual, whose honeyed tongue is prepared for offering. Agni, riding in the most pleasant chariot, is urged to bring the gods when invoked, fulfilling his role as priest. The wise spread sacrificial grass, coated with clarified butter, creating the sacred space where the vision of immortality is perceived. The divine doors, nourished by immortality, are called to open wide on every side, now and today, for the offering. Night and Dawn, adorned in beauty, are summoned to the sacrifice, invited to sit upon the sacred grass. The divine priests, skilled and eloquent with well-shaped tongues, are called to perform the sacrifice. Ilā, Sarasvatī, and Mahī, the three gracious goddesses, are invited to sit unhindered upon the sacred grass. Tvaṣṭar, the foremost and of manifold forms, is called to be solely theirs. The Lord of the Forest is asked to release the offering for the gods, fulfilling the giver’s intention. With svāhā, the sacrifice is performed for Indra in the sacrificer’s house, and the gods are called there. With praises, Agni is beseeched to come with all the gods to drink Soma, to approach and enjoy. The Kanvas, wise and devoted, sing Agni’s praises and call him with the gods. Indra and Vāyu, Bṛhaspati, Mitra, Agni, Pūṣan, Bhaga, the Ādityas, and the Marut host are all invoked. Exhilarating drops, eager and delightful, are offered, shining juices pressed from honey. The Kanvas, seeking help, spread sacred grass and offer oblations, honoring Agni. Fires, yoked by thought and bearing clarified butter, bring the gods to drink Soma. Those worthy of sacrifice, grown strong in truth, make the offering with their wives, drinking honey with well-shaped tongues. When the vaṣaṭ is uttered, those to be praised drink the honey, their tongues savoring the sweetness. From the radiance of the sun, the awakened priest calls all the gods at dawn. Agni, with all the gods, is invited to drink the Soma honey with Indra and Vāyu, and with the power of Mitra. Agni, appointed by Manu as Hotar, sits at the sacrifices and is asked to perform worship. He is urged to yoke the two red ones to his chariot—the tawny and the ruddy—and with them bring the gods. Indra is invited to drink Soma in due season, the eager drops delighting in his abode. Maruts are called to drink in due season and purify the sacrifice, for they are generous givers. The goddesses are praised, and the Inviter is asked to drink in due season, bestowing treasures. Agni is called to bring the gods, seat them in the three abodes, adorn all around, and drink in due season. Indra is urged to drink Soma for the Brahman’s bounty, his friendship unbroken. Mitra and Varuna, steadfast in vows, skillfully attain the sacrifice, though difficult to approach. The givers of wealth, wealthy and with stones in hand, praise the god in rituals. The desire is expressed for the riches heard of among the gods, and the giver of wealth is asked to grant them. Those who give wealth stand forth, offering and desiring, seeking to obtain from the Inviter with the seasons. When worship is offered for the fourth time with the seasons, the giver of wealth is asked to be their supporter. The Ashvins, pure in vows and shining like fire, are invited to drink the honeyed draught, bearing the sacrifice in due season. By the household fire, the sacrificer leads the rites and worships the gods for the worshipper. Finally, Indra is called: let his bays bring him for the drinking of Soma, those with the vision of the sun guiding him. The two bays, rich in ghee, come to carry Indra in the most pleasant chariot, bringing him to the sacred assembly. Thus, through these sacred invocations and rituals, the gods are honored, offerings made, and blessings sought for prosperity, well-being, and fulfillment.
