Rig Veda
This verse is not included in this edition.
Agni, be kind to us when we approach thee good as a friend to friend, as sire and mother. The races of mankind are great oppressors burn up malignity that strives against us.
tapo ṣv agne antarāṁ amitrān tapā śaṃsam araruṣaḥ parasya tapo vaso cikitāno acittān vi te tiṣṭhantām ajarā ayāsaḥ
Agni, burn up the unfriendly who are near us, burn thou the foeman's curse who pays no worship. Burn, Vasu, thou who markest well, the foolish: let thine eternal nimble beams surround thee.
idhmenāgna icchamāno ghṛtena juhomi havyaṃ tarase balāya yāvad īśe brahmaṇā vandamāna imāṃ dhiyaṃ śataseyāya devīm
With fuel, Agni, and with oil, desirous, mine offering I present for strength and conquest, With prayer, so far as I have power, adoring-this hymn divine to gain a hundred treasures.
ucchociṣā sahasas putra stuto bṛhad vayaḥ śaśamāneṣu dhehi revad agne viśvāmitreṣu śaṃ yor marmṛjmā te tanvam bhūri kṛtvaḥ
Give with thy glow, thou Son of Strength, when lauded, great vital power to those who toil to serve thee. Give richly, Agni, to the Visvamitras in rest and stir. Oft have we decked thy body.
kṛdhi ratnaṃ susanitar dhanānāṃ sa ghed agne bhavasi yat samiddhaḥ stotur duroṇe subhagasya revat sṛprā karasnā dadhiṣe vapūṃṣi
Give us, O liberal Lord, great store of riches, for, Agni, such art thou when duly kindled. Thou in the happy singer's home bestowest, amply with arms extended, things of beauty.
