Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·3·3.21
इमं नो यज्ञम् अमृतेषु धेहीमा हव्या जातवेदो जुषस्व । स्तोकानाम् अग्ने मेदसो घृतस्य होतः प्राशान प्रथमो निषद्य ॥
imaṃ no yajñam amṛteṣu dhehīmā havyā jātavedo juṣasva | stokānām agne medaso ghṛtasya hotaḥ prāśāna prathamo niṣadya ||
Set this our sacrifice among the Immortals: be pleased with these our presents, Jatavedas. O Priest, O Agni, sit thee down before us, and first enjoy the drops of oil and fatness.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
घृतवन्तः पावक ते स्तोका श्चोतन्ति मेदसः । स्वधर्मन् देववीतये श्रेष्ठं नो धेहि वार्यम् ॥
ghṛtavantaḥ pāvaka te stokā ścotanti medasaḥ | svadharman devavītaye śreṣṭhaṃ no dhehi vāryam ||
For thee, O Purifier, flow the drops of fatness rich in oil. After thy wont vouchsafe to us the choicest boon that Gods may feast.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तुभ्यं स्तोका घृतश्चुतो ऽग्ने विप्राय सन्त्य । ऋषिः श्रेष्ठः सम् इध्यसे यज्ञस्य प्राविता भव ॥
tubhyaṃ stokā ghṛtaścuto 'gne viprāya santya | ṛṣiḥ śreṣṭhaḥ sam idhyase yajñasya prāvitā bhava ||
Agni, Most Excellent! for thee the Sage are drops that drip with oil. Thou art enkindled as the best of Seers. Help thou the sacrifice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तुभ्यं श्चोतन्त्य् अध्रिगो शचीव स्तोकासो अग्ने मेदसो घृतस्य । कविशस्तो बृहता भानुनागा हव्या जुषस्व मेधिर ॥
tubhyaṃ ścotanty adhrigo śacīva stokāso agne medaso ghṛtasya | kaviśasto bṛhatā bhānunāgā havyā juṣasva medhira ||
To thee, O Agni, mighty and resistless, to thee stream forth the drops of oil and fatness. With great light art thou come, O praised by poets! Accept our offering, O thou Sage.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ओजिष्ठं ते मध्यतो मेद उद्भृतम् प्र ते वयं ददामहे । श्चोतन्ति ते वसो स्तोका अधि त्वचि प्रति तान् देवशो विहि ॥
ojiṣṭhaṃ te madhyato meda udbhṛtam pra te vayaṃ dadāmahe | ścotanti te vaso stokā adhi tvaci prati tān devaśo vihi ||
Fatness exceeding rich, extracted from the midst,-this as our gift we offer thee. Excellent God, the drops run down upon thy skin. Deal them to each among the Gods.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
