Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 2.7

श्रेष्ठं यविष्ठ भारताग्ने द्युमन्तम् आ भर । वसो पुरुस्पृहं रयिम् ॥

śreṣṭhaṃ yaviṣṭha bhāratāgne dyumantam ā bhara | vaso puruspṛhaṃ rayim ||

Vasu, thou most youthful God, Bharata, Agni, bring us wealth, Excellent, splendid, much-desired.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

मा नो अरातिर् ईशत देवस्य मर्त्यस्य च । पर्षि तस्या उत द्विषः ॥

mā no arātir īśata devasya martyasya ca | parṣi tasyā uta dviṣaḥ ||

Let no malignity prevail against us, either God's or man's. Save us from this and enmity.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

विश्वा उत त्वया वयं धारा उदन्या इव । अति गाहेमहि द्विषः ॥

viśvā uta tvayā vayaṃ dhārā udanyā iva | ati gāhemahi dviṣaḥ ||

So through thy favour may we force through all our enemies a way, As 'twere through streaming water-floods.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

शुचिः पावक वन्द्यो ऽग्ने बृहद् वि रोचसे । त्वं घृतेभिर् आहुतः ॥

śuciḥ pāvaka vandyo 'gne bṛhad vi rocase | tvaṃ ghṛtebhir āhutaḥ ||

Thou, Purifier Agni, high shinest forth, bright, adorable, When worshipped with the sacred oil.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वं नो असि भारताग्ने वशाभिर् उक्षभिः । अष्टापदीभिर् आहुतः ॥

tvaṃ no asi bhāratāgne vaśābhir ukṣabhiḥ | aṣṭāpadībhir āhutaḥ ||

Ours art thou, Agni, Bharata, honoured by us with barren cows, With bullocks and with kine in calf

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

द्र्वन्नः सर्पिरासुतिः प्रत्नो होता वरेण्यः । सहसस् पुत्रो अद्भुतः ॥

drvannaḥ sarpirāsutiḥ pratno hotā vareṇyaḥ | sahasas putro adbhutaḥ ||

Wood-fed, bedewed with sacred oil, ancient, Invoker, excellent, The Son of Strength, the Wonderful.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
