Rig Veda
agnim uṣasam aśvinā dadhikrāṃ vyuṣṭiṣu havate vahnir ukthaiḥ sujyotiṣo naḥ śṛṇvantu devāḥ sajoṣaso adhvaraṃ vāvaśānāḥ
With lauds at break of morn the priest invoketh Agni, Dawn, Dadhikras, and both the Asvins. With one consent the Gods whose light is splendid, longing to taste our sacrifice, shall hear us.
agne trī te vājinā trī ṣadhasthā tisras te jihvā ṛtajāta pūrvīḥ tisra u te tanvo devavātās tābhir naḥ pāhi giro aprayucchan
Three are thy powers, O Agni, three thy stations, three are thy tongues, yea, many, Child of Order! Three bodies hast thou which the Gods delight in: with these protect our hymns with care unceasing.
agne bhūrīṇi tava jātavedo deva svadhāvo 'mṛtasya nāma yāś ca māyā māyināṃ viśvaminva tve pūrvīḥ saṃdadhuḥ pṛṣṭabandho
O Agni, many are the names thou bearest, immortal, God, Divine, and Jatavedas. And many charms of charmers, All-Inspirer! have they laid in thee, Lord of true attendants!
agnir netā bhaga iva kṣitīnāṃ daivīnāṃ deva ṛtupā ṛtāvā sa vṛtrahā sanayo viśvavedāḥ parṣad viśvāti duritā gṛṇantam
Agni, like Bhaga, leads the godly people, he who is true to Law and guards the seasons. Ancient, all-knowing, he the Vritra-slayer shall bear the singer safe through every trouble.
dadhikrām agnim uṣasaṃ ca devīm bṛhaspatiṃ savitāraṃ ca devam aśvinā mitrāvaruṇā bhagaṃ ca vasūn rudrāṁ ādityāṁ iha huve
I call on Savitar the God, on Morning, Brihaspati, and Dadhikras, and Agni, On Varuna and Mitra, on the Asvins, Bhaga, the Vasus, Rudras and Adityas.
