Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·3·3.13
प्र वो देवायाग्नये बर्हिष्ठम् अर्चास्मै । गमद् देवेभिर् आ स नो यजिष्ठो बर्हिर् आ सदत् ॥
pra vo devāyāgnaye barhiṣṭham arcāsmai | gamad devebhir ā sa no yajiṣṭho barhir ā sadat ||
To Agni, to this God of yours I sing aloud with utmost power. May he come to us with the Gods, and sit, best Offerer, on the grass.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऋतावा यस्य रोदसी दक्षं सचन्त ऊतयः । हविष्मन्तस् तम् ईळते तं सनिष्यन्तो ऽवसे ॥
ṛtāvā yasya rodasī dakṣaṃ sacanta ūtayaḥ | haviṣmantas tam īḷate taṃ saniṣyanto 'vase ||
The Holy, whose are earth and heaven, and succour waits upon his strength; Him men who bring oblations laud, and they who wish to gain, for grace.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स यन्ता विप्र एषां स यज्ञानाम् अथा हि षः । अग्निं तं वो दुवस्यत दाता यो वनिता मघम् ॥
sa yantā vipra eṣāṃ sa yajñānām athā hi ṣaḥ | agniṃ taṃ vo duvasyata dātā yo vanitā magham ||
He is the Sage who guides these men, Leader of sacred rites is he. Him your own Agni, serve ye well, who winneth and bestoweth wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स नः शर्माणि वीतये ऽग्निर् यच्छतु शन्तमा । यतो नः प्रुष्णवद् वसु दिवि क्षितिभ्यो अप्स्व् आ ॥
sa naḥ śarmāṇi vītaye 'gnir yacchatu śantamā | yato naḥ pruṣṇavad vasu divi kṣitibhyo apsv ā ||
So may the gracious Agni grant most goodly shelter for our use; Whence in the heavens or in the floods he shall pour wealth upon our lands.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दीदिवांसम् अपूर्व्यं वस्वीभिर् अस्य धीतिभिः । ऋक्वाणो अग्निम् इन्धते होतारं विश्पतिं विशाम् ॥
dīdivāṃsam apūrvyaṃ vasvībhir asya dhītibhiḥ | ṛkvāṇo agnim indhate hotāraṃ viśpatiṃ viśām ||
The singers kindle him, the Priest, Agni the Lord of tribes of men, Resplendent and without a peer through his own excellent designs.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत नो ब्रह्मन्न् अविष उक्थेषु देवहूतमः । शं नः शोचा मरुद्वृधो ऽग्ने सहस्रसातमः ॥
uta no brahmann aviṣa uktheṣu devahūtamaḥ | śaṃ naḥ śocā marudvṛdho 'gne sahasrasātamaḥ ||
Help us, thou Brahman, best of all invokers of the Gods in song. Beam, Friend of Maruts, bliss on us, O Agni, a most liberal God.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नू नो रास्व सहस्रवत् तोकवत् पुष्टिमद् वसु । द्युमद् अग्ने सुवीर्यं वर्षिष्ठम् अनुपक्षितम् ॥
nū no rāsva sahasravat tokavat puṣṭimad vasu | dyumad agne suvīryaṃ varṣiṣṭham anupakṣitam ||
Yea, grant us treasure thousandfold with children and with nourishment, And, Agni, splendid hero strength, exalted, wasting not away.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
