Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 3.22

अयं सो अग्निर् यस्मिन् सोमम् इन्द्रः सुतं दधे जठरे वावशानः । सहस्रिणं वाजम् अत्यं न सप्तिं ससवान् सन् स्तूयसे जातवेदः ॥

ayaṃ so agnir yasmin somam indraḥ sutaṃ dadhe jaṭhare vāvaśānaḥ | sahasriṇaṃ vājam atyaṃ na saptiṃ sasavān san stūyase jātavedaḥ ||

This is that Agni whence the longing Indra took the pressed Soma deep within his body. Winner of spoils in thousands, like a courser, with praise art thou exalted, Jatavedas.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अग्ने यत् ते दिवि वर्चः पृथिव्यां यद् ओषधीष्व् अप्स्व् आ यजत्र । येनान्तरिक्षम् उर्व् आततन्थ त्वेषः स भानुर् अर्णवो नृचक्षाः ॥

agne yat te divi varcaḥ pṛthivyāṃ yad oṣadhīṣv apsv ā yajatra | yenāntarikṣam urv ātatantha tveṣaḥ sa bhānur arṇavo nṛcakṣāḥ ||

That light of thine in heaven and earth, O Agni, in plants, O Holy One, and in the waters, Wherewith thou hast spread wide the air's mid-region-bright is that splendour, wavy, man-beholding.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अग्ने दिवो अर्णम् अच्छा जिगास्य् अच्छा देवां ऊचिषे धिष्ण्या ये । या रोचने परस्तात् सूर्यस्य याश् चावस्ताद् उपतिष्ठन्त आपः ॥

agne divo arṇam acchā jigāsy acchā devāṃ ūciṣe dhiṣṇyā ye | yā rocane parastāt sūryasya yāś cāvastād upatiṣṭhanta āpaḥ ||

O Agni, to the sea of heaven thou goest: thou hast called hither Gods beheld in spirit. The waters, too, come hither, those up yonder in the Sun's realm of light, and those beneath it.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

पुरीष्यासो अग्नयः प्रावणेभिः सजोषसः । जुषन्तां यज्ञम् अद्रुहो ऽनमीवा इषो महीः ॥

purīṣyāso agnayaḥ prāvaṇebhiḥ sajoṣasaḥ | juṣantāṃ yajñam adruho 'namīvā iṣo mahīḥ ||

Let fires that dwell in mist, combined with those that have their home in floods, Guileless accept our sacrifice, great viands free from all disease.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इळाम् अग्ने पुरुदंसं सनिं गोः शश्वत्तमं हवमानाय साध । स्यान् नः सूनुस् तनयो विजावाग्ने सा ते सुमतिर् भूत्व् अस्मे ॥

iḷām agne purudaṃsaṃ saniṃ goḥ śaśvattamaṃ havamānāya sādha | syān naḥ sūnus tanayo vijāvāgne sā te sumatir bhūtv asme ||

Agni, as holy food to thine invoker give wealth in cattle, lasting, rich in marvels. To us be born a son and spreading offspring. Agni, be this thy gracious will to us-ward.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
