इमामू नु कवितमस्य मायां महीं देवस्य नकिरा दधर्ष । एकं यदुद्ना न पृणन्त्येनीरासिञ्चन्तीरवनयः समुद्रम्
Now this great magic of the wise god, none has overcome; when the rivers, flowing together, fill one ocean, pouring their waters.
अर्यम्यं वरुण मित्र्यं वा सखायं वा सदमिद्भ्रातरं वा । वेशं वा नित्यं वरुणारणं वा यत्सीमागश्चकृमा शिश्रथस्तत्
Whether Aryaman, Varuṇa, Mitra, or a friend, or a brother, or a constant companion, or Varuṇa's refuge—whatever wrong we have done, we confess it.
कितवासो यद्रिरिपुर्न दीवि यद्वा घा सत्यमुत यन्न विद्म । सर्वा ता वि ष्य शिथिरेव देवाधा ते स्याम वरुण प्रियासः
Whether as a deceiver, or as an enemy, or in darkness, or in truth, or in ignorance—whatever it may be, all those faults, as if loosened, O gods, may we become dear to you, Varuṇa.
इन्द्राग्नी यमवथ उभा वाजेषु मर्त्यम् । दृळ्हा चित्स प्र भेदति द्युम्ना वाणीरिव त्रितः
Indra and Agni, you both assist the mortal in contests; even the firm, he breaks through by your brilliance, like Trita with his voice.
या पृतनासु दुष्टरा या वाजेषु श्रवाय्या । या पञ्च चर्षणीरभीन्द्राग्नी ता हवामहे
Those who are unconquerable in battles, those who are renowned in contests, those who protect the five peoples—Indra and Agni, we call upon them.
तयोरिदमवच्छवस्तिग्मा दिद्युन्मघोनोः । प्रति द्रुणा गभस्त्योर्गवां वृत्रघ्न एषते
Of those two, this is the glorious strength, sharp as lightning, of the generous ones; the slayer of Vṛtra approaches the cows with his hands.
ता वामेषे रथानामिन्द्राग्नी हवामहे । पती तुरस्य राधसो विद्वांसा गिर्वणस्तमा
Those, I seek, the chariots of Indra and Agni, I call upon; lords of mighty wealth, wise, most praised among singers.
ता वृधन्तावनु द्यून्मर्ताय देवावदभा । अर्हन्ता चित्पुरो दधेऽंशेव देवावर्वते
Those two, growing strong, protect the days for the mortal, as gods; even worthy, they place the fortresses, like a portion for the godly.
एवेन्द्राग्निभ्यामहावि हव्यं शूष्यं घृतं न पूतमद्रिभिः । ता सूरिषु श्रवो बृहद्रयिं गृणत्सु दिधृतमिषं गृणत्सु दिधृतम्
Thus to Indra and Agni, we offer the great oblation, pure as clarified butter, pressed by stones; to them, among the noble, may fame, great wealth, and sustenance be granted to those who praise.
प्र वो महे मतयो यन्तु विष्णवे मरुत्वते गिरिजा एवयामरुत् । प्र शर्धाय प्रयज्यवे सुखादये तवसे भन्ददिष्टये धुनिव्रताय शवसे
Let your thoughts go forth to the great Viṣṇu, to the Maruts, born of the mountain, ever-moving Maruts; to the host, to the one worthy of sacrifice, to the giver of happiness, to the powerful, to the bestower of blessings, to the swift, to the mighty.
प्र ये जाता महिना ये च नु स्वयं प्र विद्मना ब्रुवत एवयामरुत् । क्रत्वा तद्वो मरुतो नाधृषे शवो दाना मह्ना तदेषामधृष्टासो नाद्रयः
Those who were born in greatness, and those who are now by their own power—those who speak with understanding in this way, O Maruts—by your will, Maruts, your force cannot be resisted; your gifts are mighty, and by their greatness, your undaunted ones are not to be overcome.
प्र ये दिवो बृहतः शृण्विरे गिरा सुशुक्वानः सुभ्व एवयामरुत् । न येषामिरी सधस्थ ईष्ट आँ अग्नयो न स्वविद्युतः प्र स्यन्द्रासो धुनीनाम्
Those who are heard from the great heaven by their voice, shining brightly, beautiful in this way, O Maruts—none among them has desired a seat in the assembly, like fires with their own lightning, the streams of the roaring ones rush forth.
स चक्रमे महतो निरुरुक्रमः समानस्मात्सदस एवयामरुत् । यदायुक्त त्मना स्वादधि ष्णुभिर्विष्पर्धसो विमहसो जिगाति शेवृधो नृभिः
He strode forth, a vast and far-reaching step, from the common seat, in this way, O Maruts; when he yoked himself by his own nature with the swift ones, surpassing rivals, mighty, he wins with heroes who bring prosperity.
स्वनो न वोऽमवान्रेजयद्वृषा त्वेषो ययिस्तविष एवयामरुत् । येना सहन्त ऋञ्जत स्वरोचिष स्थारश्मानो हिरण्ययाः स्वायुधास इष्मिणः
Your thunderous roar, strong and stirring, shakes, powerful and victorious, in this way, O Maruts; with it you conquer, you shine with radiance, steadfast as rocks, golden-armed, your weapons sharp.
अपारो वो महिमा वृद्धशवसस्त्वेषं शवोऽवत्वेवयामरुत् । स्थातारो हि प्रसितौ संदृशि स्थन ते न उरुष्यता निदः शुशुक्वांसो नाग्नयः
Your greatness is boundless, you of growing might, your force is fierce—may it protect us, in this way, O Maruts; for you stand firm in the advance, you are visible in the assembly, your dwellings are not narrow, shining like fires.
ते रुद्रासः सुमखा अग्नयो यथा तुविद्युम्ना अवन्त्वेवयामरुत् । दीर्घं पृथु पप्रथे सद्म पार्थिवं येषामज्मेष्वा महः शर्धांस्यद्भुतैनसाम्
You Rudras, well-armed, like fires, of abundant strength, may you protect us in this way, O Maruts; you have spread wide and far your earthly dwelling, among whom, in the horses, are the mighty hosts of wondrous deeds.
अद्वेषो नो मरुतो गातुमेतन श्रोता हवं जरितुरेवयामरुत् । विष्णोर्महः समन्यवो युयोतन स्मद्रथ्यो न दंसनाप द्वेषांसि सनुतः
Without enmity, O Maruts, come to our path; hear the call of the worshipper in this way, O Maruts; united with the greatness of Vishnu, grant us protection, like charioteers, remove all hatreds from us.
गन्ता नो यज्ञं यज्ञियाः सुशमि श्रोता हवमरक्ष एवयामरुत् । ज्येष्ठासो न पर्वतासो व्योमनि यूयं तस्य प्रचेतसः स्यात दुर्धर्तवो निदः
Come to our sacrifice, worthy of sacrifice, O Maruts, bring delight; hear the call, O guardians, in this way, O Maruts; like the greatest mountains in the sky, may you, with insight, be for him who knows, unassailable protectors.
त्वं ह्यग्ने प्रथमो मनोतास्या धियो अभवो दस्म होता । त्वं सीं वृषन्नकृणोर्दुष्टरीतु सहो विश्वस्मै सहसे सहध्यै
You, Agni, are indeed the first to be invoked by thought; you became the wise Hotar of the offering; you, O mighty one, have made for us, the difficult-to-pass strength, so that we may join all strength together.
अधा होता न्यसीदो यजीयानिळस्पद इषयन्नीड्यः सन् । तं त्वा नरः प्रथमं देवयन्तो महो राये चितयन्तो अनु ग्मन्
Then, as Hotar, you sat down at the sacrifice, desiring the seat, worthy of praise; you, whom men, the first to worship the gods, seeking great wealth, have followed.
वृतेव यन्तं बहुभिर्वसव्यैस्त्वे रयिं जागृवांसो अनु ग्मन् । रुशन्तमग्निं दर्शतं बृहन्तं वपावन्तं विश्वहा दीदिवांसम्
Like a herdsman leading with many riches, they have followed you, Agni, for wealth, ever watchful; shining, visible, great, full of radiance, you, Agni, who bring all things to light.
पदं देवस्य नमसा व्यन्तः श्रवस्यवः श्रव आपन्नमृक्तम् । नामानि चिद्दधिरे यज्ञियानि भद्रायां ते रणयन्त संदृष्टौ
Seeking the path of the god with reverence, desiring fame, they have attained unblemished renown; even the names, worthy of sacrifice, they have established; in your favor, they strive for happiness in the assembly.
त्वां वर्धन्ति क्षितयः पृथिव्यां त्वां राय उभयासो जनानाम् । त्वं त्राता तरणे चेत्यो भूः पिता माता सदमिन्मानुषाणाम्
You are exalted by the peoples on earth, you by both the riches of men; you are the protector, the guide, the one to be sought for crossing, the father, the mother, the constant support of humankind.
सपर्येण्यः स प्रियो विक्ष्वग्निर्होता मन्द्रो नि षसादा यजीयान् । तं त्वा वयं दम आ दीदिवांसमुप ज्ञुबाधो नमसा सदेम
Worthy of worship, beloved in the tribes, Agni the Hotar, delightful, has sat down, most fit for sacrifice; to you, shining in the house, we come with reverence, free from harm.
तं त्वा वयं सुध्यो नव्यमग्ने सुम्नायव ईमहे देवयन्तः । त्वं विशो अनयो दीद्यानो दिवो अग्ने बृहता रोचनेन
To you, Agni, ever new, we, wise and devoted, come for favor, worshipping; you, shining among the peoples, by the great light of heaven.
विशां कविं विश्पतिं शश्वतीनां नितोशनं वृषभं चर्षणीनाम् । प्रेतीषणिमिषयन्तं पावकं राजन्तमग्निं यजतं रयीणाम्
The sage of the peoples, the lord of the clans, ever youthful, the bull of men; advancing, desiring, shining, the king, Agni, worthy of worship, lord of riches.

That mortal worships Agni and finds joy, who brings the offering with kindling; he who knows the oblation with reverence, all desirable things are granted to him by you.
अस्मा उ ते महि महे विधेम नमोभिरग्ने समिधोत हव्यैः । वेदी सूनो सहसो गीर्भिरुक्थैरा ते भद्रायां सुमतौ यतेम
For him, O Agni, we perform great worship with reverence, with kindling and offerings; O son of strength, on the altar, with songs and hymns, may we strive for your gracious favor.

You who have stretched out the two worlds with your radiance, and who are renowned among the renowned, O Agni, distribute to us great and lasting riches, shining forth with wealth.
