इन्द्रावरुणा यदृषिभ्यो मनीषां वाचो मतिं श्रुतमदत्तमग्रे । यानि स्थानान्यसृजन्त धीरा यज्ञं तन्वानास्तपसाभ्यपश्यम्
O Indra and Varuṇa, when you gave to the seers at first the thought, the speech, the intelligence, the hearing; the wise ones created the places, performing sacrifice, I beheld them by their fervor.
इन्द्रावरुणा सौमनसमदृप्तं रायस्पोषं यजमानेषु धत्तम् । प्रजां पुष्टिं भूतिमस्मासु धत्तं दीर्घायुत्वाय प्र तिरतं न आयुः
O Indra and Varuṇa, bestow upon the sacrificers cheerful, unshaken wealth and abundance; grant us offspring, nourishment, prosperity; extend our lifespan for long years.
अग्न आ याह्यग्निभिर्होतारं त्वा वृणीमहे । आ त्वामनक्तु प्रयता हविष्मती यजिष्ठं बर्हिरासदे
Agni, come with the fires; as Hotar we choose you. Let the prepared, offering-bearing one call you; most fit for sacrifice, take your seat on the sacred grass.
अच्छा हि त्वा सहसः सूनो अङ्गिरः स्रुचश्चरन्त्यध्वरे । ऊर्जो नपातं घृतकेशमीमहेऽग्निं यज्ञेषु पूर्व्यम्
For to you, O son of strength, O Angiras, the ladles move at the ritual; we seek Agni, the child of strength, with ghee-bright hair, foremost in sacrifices.
अग्ने कविर्वेधा असि होता पावक यक्ष्यः । मन्द्रो यजिष्ठो अध्वरेष्वीड्यो विप्रेभिः शुक्र मन्मभिः
Agni, you are the sage, the creator, the Hotar, the pure one, worthy of worship; gracious, most fit for sacrifice, praised in rituals, you are to be lauded by the wise with shining hymns.
अद्रोघमा वहोशतो यविष्ठ्य देवाँ अजस्र वीतये । अभि प्रयांसि सुधिता वसो गहि मन्दस्व धीतिभिर्हितः
Bring us, O youngest and swiftest god, the undeceiving, ever-flowing wealth; come to the well-prepared offerings, O treasure-giver, rejoice in the hymns set for you.
त्वमित्सप्रथा अस्यग्ने त्रातरृतस्कविः । त्वां विप्रासः समिधान दीदिव आ विवासन्ति वेधसः
You alone, Agni, are spread forth here as protector, as sage, as guardian of truth; the wise, kindling you, the shining one, call you forth, O creator.
शोचा शोचिष्ठ दीदिहि विशे मयो रास्व स्तोत्रे महाँ असि । देवानां शर्मन्मम सन्तु सूरयः शत्रूषाहः स्वग्नयः
Shine, most radiant Agni, blaze forth; grant delight to the people through praise, for you are great. Let the blessings of the gods be mine, let the noble ones, victorious over foes, be my fires.
यथा चिद्वृद्धमतसमग्ने संजूर्वसि क्षमि । एवा दह मित्रमहो यो अस्मध्रुग्दुर्मन्मा कश्च वेनति
Just as, Agni, you revive the aged and powerless on earth, so burn up, O friend of Mitra, whoever among us is hostile, whoever devises evil intent.
मा नो मर्ताय रिपवे रक्षस्विने माघशंसाय रीरधः । अस्रेधद्भिस्तरणिभिर्यविष्ठ्य शिवेभिः पाहि पायुभिः
Do not abandon us to mortal foes, to the malicious, to the reviler; O youngest, protect us with unfailing, swift, and auspicious guardians.
पाहि नो अग्न एकया पाह्युत द्वितीयया । पाहि गीर्भिस्तिसृभिरूर्जां पते पाहि चतसृभिर्वसो
Guard us, Agni, with one, guard us also with a second; guard us with three praises, lord of strength, guard us with four, O treasure-giver.
पाहि विश्वस्माद्रक्षसो अराव्णः प्र स्म वाजेषु नोऽव । त्वामिद्धि नेदिष्ठं देवतातय आपिं नक्षामहे वृधे
Guard us from every demon and attacker; always protect us in contests. For you alone, nearest among gods, do we invoke for help and growth.
आ नो अग्ने वयोवृधं रयिं पावक शंस्यम् । रास्वा च न उपमाते पुरुस्पृहं सुनीती स्वयशस्तरम्
O Agni, bring us the wealth that grows with life, O pure one, the praiseworthy treasure. Grant to us, O most generous, the much-desired riches, guided by good counsel and bearing noble fame.
येन वंसाम पृतनासु शर्धतस्तरन्तो अर्य आदिशः । स त्वं नो वर्ध प्रयसा शचीवसो जिन्वा धियो वसुविदः
By which we may excel in battles, overcoming hostile forces, O leader of men. So you, strengthen us with your favor, inspire our minds, O knower of wealth, and invigorate us.
शिशानो वृषभो यथाग्निः शृङ्गे दविध्वत् । तिग्मा अस्य हनवो न प्रतिधृषे सुजम्भः सहसो यहुः
Like a bull, Agni, you roar, brandishing your horns. His jaws are sharp, impossible to withstand; his force is mighty, his energy abundant.
नहि ते अग्ने वृषभ प्रतिधृषे जम्भासो यद्वितिष्ठसे । स त्वं नो होतः सुहुतं हविष्कृधि वंस्वा नो वार्या पुरु
Indeed, O Agni, bull, your force cannot be resisted when you rise up with your power. So you, as our priest, make our offering well-received; grant us many desirable gifts.
शेषे वनेषु मात्रोः सं त्वा मर्तास इन्धते । अतन्द्रो हव्या वहसि हविष्कृत आदिद्देवेषु राजसि
You lie in the woods, O child of your mother, and mortals kindle you. Tireless, you carry the offerings made; you reign among the gods from the very beginning.
सप्त होतारस्तमिदीळते त्वाग्ने सुत्यजमह्रयम् । भिनत्स्यद्रिं तपसा वि शोचिषा प्राग्ने तिष्ठ जनाँ अति
Seven priests praise you, Agni, the generous, the unfailing. You break the rock with your heat and flame; O Agni, stand forth among the people.
अग्निमग्निं वो अध्रिगुं हुवेम वृक्तबर्हिषः । अग्निं हितप्रयसः शश्वतीष्वा होतारं चर्षणीनाम्
We invoke Agni, Agni without deceit, with well-arranged grass. Agni, who is offered with proper devotion, ever-present, the priest of the peoples.
केतेन शर्मन्सचते सुषामण्यग्ने तुभ्यं चिकित्वना । इषण्यया नः पुरुरूपमा भर वाजं नेदिष्ठमूतये
With your guidance, O Agni, we seek shelter and prosperity, knowing you well. With your nourishment, bring us abundant and varied strength, the closest prize for our aid.
अग्ने जरितर्विश्पतिस्तेपानो देव रक्षसः । अप्रोषिवान्गृहपतिर्महाँ असि दिवस्पायुर्दुरोणयुः
O Agni, singer, lord of all, protector, god, guard us from harm. Unfailing, you are the householder, mighty, guardian of heaven, dwelling in the home.
मा नो रक्ष आ वेशीदाघृणीवसो मा यातुर्यातुमावताम् । परोगव्यूत्यनिरामप क्षुधमग्ने सेध रक्षस्विनः
Do not let harm come near us, O compassionate one; do not let the enemy approach. Drive away hunger and evil, O Agni; keep away those who wish us ill.
उभयं शृणवच्च न इन्द्रो अर्वागिदं वचः । सत्राच्या मघवा सोमपीतये धिया शविष्ठ आ गमत्
Let Indra hear both our words, coming near. May the mighty, generous one come for the drinking of Soma, drawn by our prayer and strength.
तं हि स्वराजं वृषभं तमोजसे धिषणे निष्टतक्षतुः । उतोपमानां प्रथमो नि षीदसि सोमकामं हि ते मनः
Let the wise ones establish him, the lord of light, the bull, for strength. You sit first among those who are praised, for your mind desires Soma.
आ वृषस्व पुरूवसो सुतस्येन्द्रान्धसः । विद्मा हि त्वा हरिवः पृत्सु सासहिमधृष्टं चिद्दधृष्वणिम्
Come, O Indra, lover of many, to the pressed Soma. We know you, O golden one, as victorious in battles, undaunted even among the bold.
अप्रामिसत्य मघवन्तथेदसदिन्द्र क्रत्वा यथा वशः । सनेम वाजं तव शिप्रिन्नवसा मक्षू चिद्यन्तो अद्रिवः
O generous Indra, you are true and have not failed; so act according to your will. May we quickly gain your prize, O wielder of the thunderbolt, striving for your favor.
शग्ध्यू षु शचीपत इन्द्र विश्वाभिरूतिभिः । भगं न हि त्वा यशसं वसुविदमनु शूर चरामसि
Grant, O lord of power, Indra, with all your aids. For we follow you, O hero, as the bringer of fortune, the knower of wealth and glory.
पौरो अश्वस्य पुरुकृद्गवामस्युत्सो देव हिरण्ययः । नकिर्हि दानं परिमर्धिषत्त्वे यद्यद्यामि तदा भर
You are the giver of horses, the creator of cattle, the golden spring, O god. No gift is ever wasted; whatever I seek, bring that to me.
त्वं ह्येहि चेरवे विदा भगं वसुत्तये । उद्वावृषस्व मघवन्गविष्टय उदिन्द्राश्वमिष्टये
Come, indeed, for our delight; grant us fortune and wealth. Pour out, O generous one, for the desire of cattle; pour out, O Indra, for the desire of horses.
त्वं पुरू सहस्राणि शतानि च यूथा दानाय मंहसे । आ पुरंदरं चकृम विप्रवचस इन्द्रं गायन्तोऽवसे
You, O Indra, give many thousands and hundreds of herds for gifts. We have made you, O Purandara, the subject of our songs, O Indra, for our aid.
