Rig Veda
agne tava śravo vayo mahi bhrājante arcayo vibhāvaso bṛhadbhāno śavasā vājam ukthyaṃ dadhāsi dāśuṣe kave
Agni, life-power and fame are thine: thy fires blaze mightily, thou rich in wealth of beams! Sage, passing bright, thou givest to the worshipper, with strength, the food that merits laud.
pāvakavarcāḥ śukravarcā anūnavarcā ud iyarṣi bhānunā putro mātarā vicarann upāvasi pṛṇakṣi rodasī ubhe
With brilliant, purifying sheen, with perfect sheen thou liftest up thyself in light. Thou, visiting both thy Mothers, aidest them as Son: thou joinest close the earth and heaven.
ūrjo napāj jātavedaḥ suśastibhir mandasva dhītibhir hitaḥ tve iṣaḥ saṃ dadhur bhūrivarpasaś citrotayo vāmajātāḥ
O Jatavedas, Son of Strength, rejoice thyself, gracious, in our fair hymns and songs. In thee are treasured various forms of strengthening food, born nobly and of wondrous help.
irajyann agne prathayasva jantubhir asme rāyo amartya sa darśatasya vapuṣo vi rājasi pṛṇakṣi sānasiṃ kratum
Agni, spread forth, as Ruler, over living things: give wealth to us, Immortal God. Thou shinest out from beauty fair to look upon: thou leadest us to conquering power.
iṣkartāram adhvarasya pracetasaṃ kṣayantaṃ rādhaso mahaḥ rātiṃ vāmasya subhagām mahīm iṣaṃ dadhāsi sānasiṃ rayim
To him, the wise, who orders sacrifice, who hath great riches un der his control, Thou givest blest award of good, and plenteous food, givest him wealth that conquers all.
ṛtāvānam mahiṣaṃ viśvadarśatam agniṃ sumnāya dadhire puro janāḥ śrutkarṇaṃ saprathastamaṃ tvā girā daivyam mānuṣā yugā
The men have set before them them for their welfare Agni, strong, visible to all, the Holy. Thee, Godlike One, with ears to hear, most famous, men's generations magnify with praise-songs.
