Rig Veda
This verse is not included in this edition.
I invocate your Son of Strength, the Youthful, with hymns, the Youngest God, whose speech is guileless; Sage who sends wealth comprising every treasure, bringer of many boons, devoid of malice.
tve vasūni purvaṇīka hotar doṣā vastor erire yajñiyāsaḥ kṣāmeva viśvā bhuvanāni yasmin saṃ saubhagāni dadhire pāvake
At eve and morn thy pious servants bring thee their precious gifts, O Priest of many aspects, On whom, the Purifier, all things living as on firm. ground their happiness have stablished.
tvaṃ vikṣu pradivaḥ sīda āsu kratvā rathīr abhavo vāryāṇām ata inoṣi vidhate cikitvo vy ānuṣag jātavedo vasūni
Thou from of old hast dwelt among these people, by mental power the charioteer of blessings. Hence sendest thou, O sapient Jatavedas, to him who serves thee treasures in succession.
yo naḥ sanutyo abhidāsad agne yo antaro mitramaho vanuṣyāt tam ajarebhir vṛṣabhis tava svais tapā tapiṣṭha tapasā tapasvān
Agni, whoever secretly attacks us, the neighbour, thou with Mitra's might! who harms us, Burn him with thine own Steers for ever youthful, burning with burning heat, thou fiercest burner.
yas te yajñena samidhā ya ukthair arkebhiḥ sūno sahaso dadāśat sa martyeṣv amṛta pracetā rāyā dyumnena śravasā vi bhāti
He who serves thee with sacrifice and fuel, with hymn, O Son of Strength, and chanted praises, Shines out, Immortal! in the midst of mortals, a sage, with wealth, with splendour and with glory.
sa tat kṛdhīṣitas tūyam agne spṛdho bādhasva sahasā sahasvān yacchasyase dyubhir akto vacobhis taj juṣasva jaritur ghoṣi manma
Do this, O Agni, when we urge thee, quickly, triumphant in thy might subdue our foemen. When thou art praised with words and decked with brightness, accept this chanted hymn, the singer's worship.
aśyāma taṃ kāmam agne tavotī aśyāma rayiṃ rayivaḥ suvīram
Help us, that we may gain this wish, O Agni, gain riches, Wealthy One! with store of heroes. Desiring strength from thee may we be strengthened, and win, Eternal! thine eternal glory.
