Atharva Veda 4.23

Praise and prayer to Agni

I reverence (man-u) first the forethoughtful (prácetas) Agni, him of the five peoples, whom men kindle in many places; we pray to him who hath entered (pra-viç) into clans after clans (víç): let him free us from distress.

yathā havyaṃ vahasi jātavedo yathā yajñaṃ kalpayasi prajānan evā devebhyaḥ sumatiṃ na ā vaha sa no muñcatv aṃhasaḥ

As thou carriest the oblation, O Jātavedas; as, foreknowing, thou adaptest the sacrifice—so do thou convey to us favor from the gods: let him free us from distress.

yāmanyāmann upayuktaṃ vahiṣṭhaṃ karmaṅkarmann ābhagam agnim īḍe rakṣohaṇaṃ yajñavṛdhaṃ ghṛtāhutaṃ sa no muñcatv aṃhasaḥ

Put to service at every course (yā́man), best carrier, sharer (ā́bhaga) at every rite, Agni I praise, demon-slayer, sacrifice-increaser, offered to with ghee: let him free us from distress.

sujātaṃ jātavedasam agniṃ vaiśvānaraṃ vibhum havyavāhaṃ havāmahe sa no muñcatv aṃhasaḥ

The well-born Jātavedas, the mighty (vibhú) Agni belonging to all men (vāiçvānará), the carrier of oblations, we call on: let him free us from distress.

yena ṛṣayo balam adyotayan yujā yenāsurāṇām ayuvanta māyāḥ

With whom as ally the seers made [their] strength shine out; with whom they repelled the wiles of the Asuras; with whom, Agni, Indra conquered the Paṇis—let him free us from distress.

yena devā amṛtam anvavindan yenauṣadhīr madhumatīr akṛṇvan yena devāḥ svar ābharant sa no muñcatv aṃhasaḥ

By whom the gods discovered the immortal; by whom they made the herbs rich in honey; by whom the gods brought the heaven (svàr)—let him free us from distress.

yasyedaṃ pradiśi yad virocate yaj jātaṃ janitavyaṃ ca kevalam staumy agniṃ nāthito johavīmi sa no muñcatv aṃhasaḥ

In whose direction [is] whatever shines forth (vi-ruc) here, what is born and to be born, all of it—I praise Agni, [as a] suppliant I call loudly on [him]—let him free us from distress.
