Rig Veda
pra navyasā sahasaḥ sūnum acchā yajñena gātum ava icchamānaḥ vṛścadvanaṃ kṛṣṇayāmaṃ ruśantaṃ vītī hotāraṃ divyaṃ jigāti
He who seeks furtherance and grace to help him goes to the Son of Strength with newest worship, Calling the heavenly Priest to share the banquet, who rends the wood, bright, with his blackened pathway.
sa śvitānas tanyatū rocanasthā ajarebhir nānadadbhir yaviṣṭhaḥ yaḥ pāvakaḥ purutamaḥ purūṇi pṛthūny agnir anuyāti bharvan
White-hued and thundering he dwells in splendour, Most Youthful, with the loudvoiced and eternal- Agni, most variform, the Purifier, who follows crunching many ample forests.
vi te viṣvag vātajūtāso agne bhāmāsaḥ śuce śucayaś caranti tuvimrakṣāso divyā navagvā vanā vananti dhṛṣatā rujantaḥ
Incited by the wind thy flames, O Agni, move onward, Pure One! pure, in all directions. Thy most destructive heavenly Navagvas break the woods down and devastate them boldly.
ye te śukrāsaḥ śucayaḥ śuciṣmaḥ kṣāṃ vapanti viṣitāso aśvāḥ adha bhramas ta urviyā vi bhāti yātayamāno adhi sānu pṛśneḥ
Thy pure white horses from their bonds are loosened: O Radiant One, they shear the ground beneath them, And far and wide shines out thy flame, and flickers rapidly moving over earth's high ridges.
adha jihvā pāpatīti pra vṛṣṇo goṣuyudho nāśaniḥ sṛjānā śūrasyeva prasitiḥ kṣātir agner durvartur bhīmo dayate vanāni
Forth darts the Bull's tongue like the sharp stone weapon discharged by him who fights to win the cattle. Agni's fierce flame is like a hero's onset: dread and resistless he destroys the forests.
ā bhānunā pārthivāni jrayāṃsi mahas todasya dhṛṣatā tatantha sa bādhasvāpa bhayā sahobhi spṛdho vanuṣyan vanuṣo ni jūrva
Thou with the sunlight of the great Impeller hast boldly over-spread the earth's expanses. So drive away with conquering might all perils. fighting out foemen burn up those who harm us.
sa citra citraṃ citayantam asme citrakṣatra citratamaṃ vayodhām candraṃ rayim puruvīram bṛhantaṃ candra candrābhir gṛṇate yuvasva
Wondrous! of wondrous power! give to the singer wealth wondrous, marked, most wonderful, life-giving. Wealth bright, O Bright One, vast, with many heroes, give with thy bright flames to the man who lauds thee.
