Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.140

अग्ने तव श्रवो वयो महि भ्राजन्ते अर्चयो विभावसो । बृहद्भानो शवसा वाजम् उक्थ्यं दधासि दाशुषे कवे ॥

agne tava śravo vayo mahi bhrājante arcayo vibhāvaso | bṛhadbhāno śavasā vājam ukthyaṃ dadhāsi dāśuṣe kave ||

Agni, life-power and fame are thine: thy fires blaze mightily, thou rich in wealth of beams! Sage, passing bright, thou givest to the worshipper, with strength, the food that merits laud.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

पावकवर्चाः शुक्रवर्चा अनूनवर्चा उद् इयर्षि भानुना । पुत्रो मातरा विचरन्न् उपावसि पृणक्षि रोदसी उभे ॥

pāvakavarcāḥ śukravarcā anūnavarcā ud iyarṣi bhānunā | putro mātarā vicarann upāvasi pṛṇakṣi rodasī ubhe ||

With brilliant, purifying sheen, with perfect sheen thou liftest up thyself in light. Thou, visiting both thy Mothers, aidest them as Son: thou joinest close the earth and heaven.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

ऊर्जो नपाज् जातवेदः सुशस्तिभिर् मन्दस्व धीतिभिर् हितः । त्वे इषः सं दधुर् भूरिवर्पसश् चित्रोतयो वामजाताः ॥

ūrjo napāj jātavedaḥ suśastibhir mandasva dhītibhir hitaḥ | tve iṣaḥ saṃ dadhur bhūrivarpasaś citrotayo vāmajātāḥ ||

O Jatavedas, Son of Strength, rejoice thyself, gracious, in our fair hymns and songs. In thee are treasured various forms of strengthening food, born nobly and of wondrous help.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इरज्यन्न् अग्ने प्रथयस्व जन्तुभिर् अस्मे रायो अमर्त्य । स दर्शतस्य वपुषो वि राजसि पृणक्षि सानसिं क्रतुम् ॥

irajyann agne prathayasva jantubhir asme rāyo amartya | sa darśatasya vapuṣo vi rājasi pṛṇakṣi sānasiṃ kratum ||

Agni, spread forth, as Ruler, over living things: give wealth to us, Immortal God. Thou shinest out from beauty fair to look upon: thou leadest us to conquering power.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इष्कर्तारम् अध्वरस्य प्रचेतसं क्षयन्तं राधसो महः । रातिं वामस्य सुभगाम् महीम् इषं दधासि सानसिं रयिम् ॥

iṣkartāram adhvarasya pracetasaṃ kṣayantaṃ rādhaso mahaḥ | rātiṃ vāmasya subhagām mahīm iṣaṃ dadhāsi sānasiṃ rayim ||

To him, the wise, who orders sacrifice, who hath great riches un der his control, Thou givest blest award of good, and plenteous food, givest him wealth that conquers all.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

ऋतावानम् महिषं विश्वदर्शतम् अग्निं सुम्नाय दधिरे पुरो जनाः । श्रुत्कर्णं सप्रथस्तमं त्वा गिरा दैव्यम् मानुषा युगा ॥

ṛtāvānam mahiṣaṃ viśvadarśatam agniṃ sumnāya dadhire puro janāḥ | śrutkarṇaṃ saprathastamaṃ tvā girā daivyam mānuṣā yugā ||

The men have set before them them for their welfare Agni, strong, visible to all, the Holy. Thee, Godlike One, with ears to hear, most famous, men's generations magnify with praise-songs.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
