Rig Veda
puro vo mandraṃ divyaṃ suvṛktim prayati yajñe agnim adhvare dadhidhvam pura ukthebhiḥ sa hi no vibhāvā svadhvarā karati jātavedāḥ
Install at sacrifice, while the rite advances, your pleasant, heavenly Agni, meet for praises. With hymns-for he illumines us-install him. He, Jatavedas, makes our rites successful.
tam u dyumaḥ purvaṇīka hotar agne agnibhir manuṣa idhānaḥ stomaṃ yam asmai mamateva śūṣaṃ ghṛtaṃ na śuci matayaḥ pavante
Hear this laud, Radiant Priest of many aspects, O Agni with the fires of man enkindled, Laud which bards send forth pure as sacred butter, strength to this man, as 'twere for self-advantage.
pīpāya sa śravasā martyeṣu yo agnaye dadāśa vipra ukthaiḥ citrābhis tam ūtibhiś citraśocir vrajasya sātā gomato dadhāti
Mid mortal men that singer thrives in glory who offers gifts with hymns of praise to Agni, And the God, wondrous bright, with wondrous succours helps him to win a stable filled with cattle.
ā yaḥ paprau jāyamāna urvī dūredṛśā bhāsā kṛṣṇādhvā adha bahu cit tama ūrmyāyās tiraḥ śociṣā dadṛśe pāvakaḥ
He, at his birth, whose path is black behind him, filled heaven and earth with far-apparent splendour: And he himself hath been. through night's thick darkness, made manifest by light, the Purifier.
nū naś citram puruvājābhir ūtī agne rayim maghavadbhyaś ca dhehi ye rādhasā śravasā cāty anyān suvīryebhiś cābhi santi janān
With thy most mighty aid, confer, O Agni, wonderful wealth on us and on our princes, Who stand preeminent, surpassing others in liberal gifts, in fame, and hero virtues.
imaṃ yajñaṃ cano dhā agna uśan yaṃ ta āsāno juhute haviṣmān bharadvājeṣu dadhiṣe suvṛktim avīr vājasya gadhyasya sātau
Agni, accept this sacrifice with gladness, which, seated here, the worshipper presenteth. Fair hymns hadst thou among the Bharadvajas, and holpest them to gain abundant vigour.
vi dveṣāṃsīnuhi vardhayeﾱām madema śatahimāḥ suvīrāḥ
Scatter our foes, increase our store. May we he glad a hundred winters with brave sons.
