अग्ने नय सुपथा राये अस्मान् विश्वानि देव वयुनानि विद्वान् । युयोध्य् अस्मज् जुहुराणम् एनो भूयिष्ठां ते नमौक्तिं विधेम ॥
agne naya supathā rāye asmān viśvāni deva vayunāni vidvān | yuyodhy asmaj juhurāṇam eno bhūyiṣṭhāṃ te namauktiṃ vidhema ||
By goodly paths lead us to riches, Agni, God who knowest every sacred duty. Remove the sin that makes us stray and wander. most ample adoration will we bring thee.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अग्ने त्वम् पारया नव्यो अस्मान् स्वस्तिभिर् अति दुर्गाणि विश्वा । पूश् च पृथ्वी बहुला न उर्वी भवा तोकाय तनयाय शं योः ॥
agne tvam pārayā navyo asmān svastibhir ati durgāṇi viśvā | pūś ca pṛthvī bahulā na urvī bhavā tokāya tanayāya śaṃ yoḥ ||
Lead us anew to happiness, O Agni; lead us beyond all danger and affliction. Be unto us a wide broad ample castle bless, prosper on their way our sons and offspring.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अग्ने त्वम् अस्मद् युयोध्य् अमीवा अनग्नित्रा अभ्य् अमन्त कृष्टीः । पुनर् अस्मभ्यं सुविताय देव क्षां विश्वेभिर् अमृतेभिर् यजत्र ॥
agne tvam asmad yuyodhy amīvā anagnitrā abhy amanta kṛṣṭīḥ | punar asmabhyaṃ suvitāya deva kṣāṃ viśvebhir amṛtebhir yajatra ||
Far from us, Agni, put thou all diseases let them strike lauds that have no saving Agni. God, make our home again to be a blessing, with all the Immortal Deities, O Holy.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पाहि नो अग्ने पायुभिर् अजस्रैर् उत प्रिये सदन आ शुशुक्वान् । मा ते भयं जरितारं यविष्ठ नूनं विदन् मापरं सहस्वः ॥
pāhi no agne pāyubhir ajasrair uta priye sadana ā śuśukvān | mā te bhayaṃ jaritāraṃ yaviṣṭha nūnaṃ vidan māparaṃ sahasvaḥ ||
Preserve us, Agni, with perpetual succour, refulgent in the dwelling which thou lovest. O Conqueror, most youthful, let no danger touch him who praises thee to-day or after.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मा नो अग्ने ऽव सृजो अघायाविष्यवे रिपवे दुच्छुनायै । मा दत्वते दशते मादते नो मा रीषते सहसावन् परा दाः ॥
mā no agne 'va sṛjo aghāyāviṣyave ripave ducchunāyai | mā datvate daśate mādate no mā rīṣate sahasāvan parā dāḥ ||
Give not us up a prey to sin, O Agni, the greedy enemy that brings us trouble; Not to the fanged that bites, not to the toothless: give not us up, thou Conqueror, to the spoiler.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि घ त्वावां ऋतजात यंसद् गृणानो अग्ने तन्वे वरूथम् । विश्वाद् रिरिक्षोर् उत वा निनित्सोर् अभिह्रुताम् असि हि देव विष्पट् ॥
vi gha tvāvāṃ ṛtajāta yaṃsad gṛṇāno agne tanve varūtham | viśvād ririkṣor uta vā ninitsor abhihrutām asi hi deva viṣpaṭ ||
Such as thou art, born after Law, O Agni when lauded give protection to our bodies, From whosoever would reproach or injure: for thou, God, rescuest from all oppression.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं तां अग्न उभयान् वि विद्वान् वेषि प्रपित्वे मनुषो यजत्र । अभिपित्वे मनवे शास्यो भूर् मर्मृजेन्य उशिग्भिर् नाक्रः ॥
tvaṃ tāṃ agna ubhayān vi vidvān veṣi prapitve manuṣo yajatra | abhipitve manave śāsyo bhūr marmṛjenya uśigbhir nākraḥ ||
Thou, well discerning both these classes, comest to men at early morn, O holy Agni. Be thou obedient unto man at evening, to be adorned, as keen, by eager suitors.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अवोचाम निवचनान्य् अस्मिन् मानस्य सूनुः सहसाने अग्नौ । वयं सहस्रम् ऋषिभिः सनेम विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥
avocāma nivacanāny asmin mānasya sūnuḥ sahasāne agnau | vayaṃ sahasram ṛṣibhiḥ sanema vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum ||
To him have we addressed our pious speeches, I, Mana's son, to him victorious Agni. May we gain countless riches with the sages. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
