Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.6
अयं स यस्य शर्मन्न् अवोभिर् अग्नेर् एधते जरिताभिष्टौ । ज्येष्ठेभिर् यो भानुभिर् ऋषूणाम् पर्येति परिवीतो विभावा ॥
ayaṃ sa yasya śarmann avobhir agner edhate jaritābhiṣṭau | jyeṣṭhebhir yo bhānubhir ṛṣūṇām paryeti parivīto vibhāvā ||
This is that Agni, he by whose protection, favour, and help. the singer is successful; Who with the noblest flames of glowing fuel comes forth encompassed with far-spreading lustre.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो भानुभिर् विभावा विभात्य् अग्निर् देवेभिर् ऋतावाजस्रः । आ यो विवाय सख्या सखिभ्यो ऽपरिह्वृतो अत्यो न सप्तिः ॥
yo bhānubhir vibhāvā vibhāty agnir devebhir ṛtāvājasraḥ | ā yo vivāya sakhyā sakhibhyo 'parihvṛto atyo na saptiḥ ||
Agni, the Holy One, the everlasting, who shines far beaming with celestial splendours; He who hath come unto his friends with friendship, like a fleet steed who never trips or stumbles.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ईशे यो विश्वस्या देववीतेर् ईशे विश्वायुर् उषसो व्युष्टौ । आ यस्मिन् मना हवींष्य् अग्नाव् अरिष्टरथ स्कभ्नाति शूषैः ॥
īśe yo viśvasyā devavīter īśe viśvāyur uṣaso vyuṣṭau | ā yasmin manā havīṃṣy agnāv ariṣṭaratha skabhnāti śūṣaiḥ ||
He who is Lord of all divine oblation, shared by all living men at break of morning, Agni to whom our offerings are devoted, in whom rests he whose car, through might, is scatheless.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शूषेभिर् वृधो जुषाणो अर्कैर् देवां अच्छा रघुपत्वा जिगाति । मन्द्रो होता स जुह्वा यजिष्ठः सम्मिश्लो अग्निर् आ जिघर्ति देवान् ॥
śūṣebhir vṛdho juṣāṇo arkair devāṃ acchā raghupatvā jigāti | mandro hotā sa juhvā yajiṣṭhaḥ sammiślo agnir ā jigharti devān ||
Increasing by his strength. while lauds content him, with easy flight unto the Gods he travels. Agni the cheerful Priest, best Sacrificer, balms with his tongue the Gods with whom he mingles.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तम् उस्राम् इन्द्रं न रेजमानम् अग्निं गीर्भिर् नमोभिर् आ कृणुध्वम् । आ यं विप्रासो मतिभिर् गृणन्ति जातवेदसं जुह्वं सहानाम् ॥
tam usrām indraṃ na rejamānam agniṃ gīrbhir namobhir ā kṛṇudhvam | ā yaṃ viprāso matibhir gṛṇanti jātavedasaṃ juhvaṃ sahānām ||
With songs and adorations bring ye hither Agni who stirs himself at dawn like Indra, Whom sages laud with hymns as Jatavedas of those who wield the sacrificial ladle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सं यस्मिन् विश्वा वसूनि जग्मुर् वाजे नाश्वाः सप्तीवन्त एवैः । अस्मे ऊतीर् इन्द्रवाततमा अर्वाचीना अग्न आ कृणुष्व ॥
saṃ yasmin viśvā vasūni jagmur vāje nāśvāḥ saptīvanta evaiḥ | asme ūtīr indravātatamā arvācīnā agna ā kṛṇuṣva ||
In whom all goodly treasures meet together, even as steeds and riders for the booty. Inclining hither bring us help, O Agni, even assistance most desired by Indra.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अधा ह्य् अग्ने मह्ना निषद्या सद्यो जज्ञानो हव्यो बभूथ । तं ते देवासो अनु केतम् आयन्न् अधावर्धन्त प्रथमास ऊमाः ॥
adhā hy agne mahnā niṣadyā sadyo jajñāno havyo babhūtha | taṃ te devāso anu ketam āyann adhāvardhanta prathamāsa ūmāḥ ||
Yea, at thy birth, when thou hadst sat in glory, thou, Agni, wast the aim of invocations. The Gods came near, obedient to thy summons, and thus attained their rank as chief Protectors.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
