Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 3.14

आ होता मन्द्रो विदथान्य् अस्थात् सत्यो यज्वा कवितमः स वेधाः । विद्युद्रथः सहसस् पुत्रो अग्निः शोचिष्केशः पृथिव्याम् पाजो अश्रेत् ॥

ā hotā mandro vidathāny asthāt satyo yajvā kavitamaḥ sa vedhāḥ | vidyudrathaḥ sahasas putro agniḥ śociṣkeśaḥ pṛthivyām pājo aśret ||

The pleasant Priest is come into the synod, true, skilled in sacrifice, most wise, Ordainer. Agni, the Son of Strength, whose car is lightning, whose hair is flame, hath shown on earth his lustre.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 3.14.2

अयामि ते नमौक्तिं जुषस्व ऋतावस् तुभ्यं चेतते सहस्वः । विद्वां आ वक्षि विदुषो नि षत्सि मध्य आ बर्हिर् ऊतये यजत्र ॥

ayāmi te namauktiṃ juṣasva ṛtāvas tubhyaṃ cetate sahasvaḥ | vidvāṃ ā vakṣi viduṣo ni ṣatsi madhya ā barhir ūtaye yajatra ||

To thee I offer reverent speech: accept it: to thee who markest it, victorious, faithful! Bring, thou who knowest, those who know, and seat thee amid the sacred grass, for help, O Holy.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 3.14.3

द्रवतां त उषसा वाजयन्ती अग्ने वातस्य पथ्याभिर् अच्छ । यत् सीम् अञ्जन्ति पूर्व्यं हविर्भिर् आ वन्धुरेव तस्थतुर् दुरोणे ॥

dravatāṃ ta uṣasā vājayantī agne vātasya pathyābhir accha | yat sīm añjanti pūrvyaṃ havirbhir ā vandhureva tasthatur duroṇe ||

The Two who show their vigour, Night and Morning, by the wind's paths shall haste to thee O Agni. When men adorn the Ancient with oblations, these seek, as on two chariot-seats, the dwelling.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 3.14.4

मित्रश् च तुभ्यं वरुणः सहस्वो ऽग्ने विश्वे मरुतः सुम्नम् अर्चन् । यच् छोचिषा सहसस् पुत्र तिष्ठा अभि क्षितीः प्रथयन् सूर्यो नॄन् ॥

mitraś ca tubhyaṃ varuṇaḥ sahasvo 'gne viśve marutaḥ sumnam arcan | yac chociṣā sahasas putra tiṣṭhā abhi kṣitīḥ prathayan sūryo nṝn ||

To thee, strong Agni! Varuna and Mitra and all the Maruts sang a song of triumph, What time unto the people's lands thou camest, spreading them as the Sun of men, with lustre.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

वयं ते अद्य ररिमा हि कामम् उत्तानहस्ता नमसोपसद्य । यजिष्ठेन मनसा यक्षि देवान् अस्रेधता मन्मना विप्रो अग्ने ॥

vayaṃ te adya rarimā hi kāmam uttānahastā namasopasadya | yajiṣṭhena manasā yakṣi devān asredhatā manmanā vipro agne ||

Approaching with raised hands and adoration, we have this day fulfilled for thee thy longing. Worship the Gods with most devoted spirit, a Priest with no unfriendly thought, O Agni.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 3.14.6

त्वद् धि पुत्र सहसो वि पूर्वीर् देवस्य यन्त्य् ऊतयो वि वाजाः । त्वं देहि सहस्रिणं रयिं नो ऽद्रोघेण वचसा सत्यम् अग्ने ॥

tvad dhi putra sahaso vi pūrvīr devasya yanty ūtayo vi vājāḥ | tvaṃ dehi sahasriṇaṃ rayiṃ no 'drogheṇa vacasā satyam agne ||

For, Son of Strength, from thee come many succours, and powers abundant that a God possesses. Agni, to us with speech that hath no falsehood grant riches, real, to be told in thousands.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

तुभ्यं दक्ष कविक्रतो यानीमा देव मर्तासो अध्वरे अकर्म । त्वं विश्वस्य सुरथस्य बोधि सर्वं तद् अग्ने अमृत स्वदेह ॥

tubhyaṃ dakṣa kavikrato yānīmā deva martāso adhvare akarma | tvaṃ viśvasya surathasya bodhi sarvaṃ tad agne amṛta svadeha ||

Whatever, God, in sacrifice we mortals have wrought is all for thee, strong, wise of purpose! Be thou the Friend of each good chariot's master. All this enjoy thou here, immortal Agni.
