Rig Veda
pra brahmāṇo aṅgiraso nakṣanta pra krandanur nabhanyasya vetu pra dhenava udapruto navanta yujyātām adrī adhvarasya peśaḥ
Let Brahmans and Angirases come forward, and let the roar of cloudy heaven surround us. Loud low the Milch-kine swimming in the waters: set be the stones that grace our holy service.
sugas te agne sanavitto adhvā yukṣvā sute harito rohitaś ca ye vā sadmann aruṣā vīravāho huve devānāṃ janimāni sattaḥ
Fair, Agni, is thy long-known path to travel: yoke for the juice tfiy bay, thy ruddy horses, Or red steeds, Hero-bearing, for the chamber. Seated, I call the Deities' generations.
sam u vo yajñam mahayan namobhiḥ pra hotā mandro ririca upāke yajasva su purvaṇīka devān ā yajñiyām aramatiṃ vavṛtyāḥ
They glorify your sacrifice with worship, yet the glad Priest near them is left unequalled. Bring the Gods hither, thou of many aspects: turn hitherward Aramati the Holy.
yadā vīrasya revato duroṇe syonaśīr atithir āciketat suprīto agniḥ sudhito dama ā sa viśe dāti vāryam iyatyai
What time the Guest hath made himself apparent, at ease reclining in the rich man's dwelling, Agni, well-pleased, well-placed within the chamber gives to a house like this wealth worth the choosing.
imaṃ no agne adhvaraṃ juṣasva marutsv indre yaśasaṃ kṛdhī naḥ ā naktā barhiḥ sadatām uṣāsośantā mitrāvaruṇā yajeha
Accept this sacrifice of ours, O Agni; glorify it with Indra and the Maruts. Here on our grass let Night and Dawn be seated: bring longing Varuna and Mitra hither.
evāgniṃ sahasyaṃ vasiṣṭho rāyaskāmo viśvapsnyasya staut iṣaṃ rayim paprathad vājam asme yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
Thus hath Vasishtha praised victorious Agni, yearning for wealth that giveth all subsistence. May he bestow on us food, strength, and riches. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
