Rig Veda
samiddho agnir divi śocir aśret pratyaṅṅ uṣasam urviyā vi bhāti eti prācī viśvavārā namobhir devāṁ īﾱānā haviṣā ghṛtācī
Agni inflamed hath sent to heaven his lustre: he shines forth widely turning unto Morning. Eastward the ladle goes that brings all blessing, praising the Godswith homage and oblation.
samidhyamāno amṛtasya rājasi haviṣ kṛṇvantaṃ sacase svastaye viśvaṃ sa dhatte draviṇaṃ yam invasy ātithyam agne ni ca dhatta it puraḥ
Enkindled, thou art King of the immortal world: him who brings offerings thou attendest for his weal. He whom thou urgest on makes all possessions his: he sets before thee, Agni, gifts that guests may claim.
agne śardha mahate saubhagāya tava dyumnāny uttamāni santu saṃ jāspatyaṃ suyamam ā kṛṇuṣva śatrūyatām abhi tiṣṭhā mahāṃsi
Show thyself strong for mighty bliss, O Agni, most excellent be thine effulgent splendours. Make easy to maintain our household lordship, and overcome the might of those who hate us.
samiddhasya pramahaso 'gne vande tava śriyam vṛṣabho dyumnavāṁ asi sam adhvareṣv idhyase
Thy glory, Agni, I adore, kindled, exalted in thy strength. A Steer of brilliant splendour, thou art lighted well at sacred rites.
samiddho agna āhuta devān yakṣi svadhvara tvaṃ hi havyavāﾱ asi
Agni, invoked and kindled, serve the Gods, thou skilled in sacrifice: For thou art bearer of our gifts.
ā juhotā duvasyatāgnim prayaty adhvare vṛṇīdhvaṃ havyavāhanam
Invoke and worship Agni while the sacrificial rite proceeds: For offering-bearer choose ye him.
