Rig Veda
ūrdhvo agniḥ sumatiṃ vasvo aśret pratīcī jūrṇir devatātim eti bhejāte adrī rathyeva panthām ṛtaṃ hotā na iṣito yajāti
Agni, erect, hath shown enriching favour: the flame goes forward to the Gods' assembly. Like car-borne men the stones their path have chosen: let the priest, quickened, celebrate our worship.
pra vāvṛje suprayā barhir eṣām ā viśpatīva bīriṭa iyāte viśām aktor uṣasaḥ pūrvahūtau vāyuḥ pūṣā svastaye niyutvān
Soft to the tread, their sacred grass is scattered: these go like Kings amid the band around them, At the folks early call on Night and Morning,-Vayu, and Pushan with his team, to bless us.
jmayā atra vasavo ranta devā urāv antarikṣe marjayanta śubhrāḥ arvāk patha urujrayaḥ kṛṇudhvaṃ śrotā dūtasya jagmuṣo no asya
Here on their path the noble Gods proceeded: in the wide firmament the Beauteous decked them. Bend your way hither, ye who travel widely: hear this our envoy who hath gone to meet you.
te hi yajñeṣu yajñiyāsa ūmāḥ sadhasthaṃ viśve abhi santi devāḥ tāṁ adhvara uśato yakṣy agne śruṣṭī bhagaṃ nāsatyā purandhim
For they are holy aids at sacrifices: all Gods approach the place of congregation. Bring these, desirous, to our worship, Agni, swift the Nisatyas, Bhaga, and Purandhi.
āgne giro diva ā pṛthivyā mitraṃ vaha varuṇam indram agnim āryamaṇam aditiṃ viṣṇum eṣāṃ sarasvatī maruto mādayantām
Agni, to these men's hymns, from earth, from heaven, bring Mitra, Varuna, Indra, and Agni, And Aryaman, and Aditi, and Vishnu. Sarasvati be joyful, and the Maruts.
rare havyam matibhir yajñiyānāṃ nakṣat kāmam martyānām asinvan dhātā rayim avidasyaṃ sadāsāṃ sakṣīmahi yujyebhir nu devaiḥ
Even as the holy wish, the gift is offered: may he, unsated, come when men desire him. Give never-failing ever-conquering riches: with Gods for our allies may we be victors.
nū rodasī abhiṣṭute vasiṣṭhair ṛtāvāno varuṇo mitro agniḥ yacchantu candrā upamaṃ no arkaṃ yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
Now have both worlds been praised by the Vasishthas; and holy Mitra, Varuna, and Agni. May they, bright Deities, make our song supremest. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
