Rig Veda
agniḥ saptiṃ vājambharaṃ dadāty agnir vīraṃ śrutyaṃ karmaniṣṭhām agnī rodasī vi carat samañjann agnir nārīṃ vīrakukṣim purandhim
Agni bestows the fleet prize-winning courser: Agni, the hero famed and firm in duty. Agni pervades and decks the earth and heaven, and fills the fruitful dame who teems with heroes.
agner apnasaḥ samid astu bhadrāgnir mahī rodasī ā viveśa agnir ekaṃ codayat samatsv agnir vṛtrāṇi dayate purūṇi
Blest be the wood that feeds the active Agni: within the two great worlds hath Agni entered. Agni impels a single man to battle, and with him rends in pieces many a foeman.
agnir ha tyaṃ jarataḥ karṇam āvāgnir adbhyo nir adahaj jarūtham agnir atriṃ gharma uruṣyad antar agnir nṛmedham prajayāsṛjat sam
Agni rejoiced the car of him who praised him, and from the waters burnt away Jarutha. Agni saved Atri in the fiery cave, and made Nrimedha rich with troops of children.
agnir dād draviṇaṃ vīrapeśā agnir ṛṣiṃ yaḥ sahasrā sanoti agnir divi havyam ā tatānāgner dhāmāni vibhṛtā purutrā
Agni hath granted wealth that decks the hero, and sent the sage who wins a thousand cattle. Agni hath made oblations rise to heaven: to every place are Agni's laws extended.
agnim ukthair ṛṣayo vi hvayante 'gniṃ naro yāmani bādhitāsaḥ agniṃ vayo antarikṣe patanto 'gniḥ sahasrā pari yāti gonām
With songs of praise the Rishis call on Agni; on Agni, heroes worsted in the foray. Birds flying in the region call on Agni around a thousand cattle Agni wanders.
agniṃ viśa īḍate mānuṣīr yā agnim manuṣo nahuṣo vi jātāḥ agnir gāndharvīm pathyām ṛtasyāgner gavyūtir ghṛta ā niṣattā
Races of human birth pay Agni worship, men who have sprung from Nahus' line adore him. Stablished in holy oil is Agni's pasture, on the Gandharva path of Law and Order.
agnaye brahma ṛbhavas tatakṣur agnim mahām avocāmā suvṛktim agne prāva jaritāraṃ yaviṣṭhāgne mahi draviṇam ā yajasva
The Ribhus fabricated prayer for Agni, and we with mighty hymns have called on Agni. Agni, Most Youthful God, protect the singer: win us by worship, Agni, great possessions.
