Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·3·3.26
वैश्वानरम् मनसाग्निं निचाय्या हविष्मन्तो अनुषत्यं स्वर्विदम् । सुदानुं देवं रथिरं वसूयवो गीर्भी रण्वं कुशिकासो हवामहे ॥
vaiśvānaram manasāgniṃ nicāyyā haviṣmanto anuṣatyaṃ svarvidam | sudānuṃ devaṃ rathiraṃ vasūyavo gīrbhī raṇvaṃ kuśikāso havāmahe ||
Revering in our heart Agni Vaisvanara, the finder of the light, whose promises are true, The liberal, gladsome, car-borne God we Kusikas invoke him with oblation, seeking wealth with songs.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं शुभ्रम् अग्निम् अवसे हवामहे वैश्वानरम् मातरिश्वानम् उक्थ्यम् । बृहस्पतिम् मनुषो देवतातये विप्रं श्रोतारम् अतिथिं रघुष्यदम् ॥
taṃ śubhram agnim avase havāmahe vaiśvānaram mātariśvānam ukthyam | bṛhaspatim manuṣo devatātaye vipraṃ śrotāram atithiṃ raghuṣyadam ||
That Agni, bright, Vaisvanara, we invoke for help, and Matarisvan worthy of the song of praise; Brhaspati for man's observance of the Gods, the Singer prompt to hear, the swiftly-moving guest.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अश्वो न क्रन्दञ् जनिभिः सम् इध्यते वैश्वानरः कुशिकेभिर् युगे-युगे । स नो अग्निः सुवीर्यं स्वश्व्यं दधातु रत्नम् अमृतेषु जागृविः ॥
aśvo na krandañ janibhiḥ sam idhyate vaiśvānaraḥ kuśikebhir yuge-yuge | sa no agniḥ suvīryaṃ svaśvyaṃ dadhātu ratnam amṛteṣu jāgṛviḥ ||
Age after age Vaisvanara, neighing like a horse, is kindled with the women by the Kusikas. May Agni, he who wakes among Immortal Gods, grant us heroic strength and wealth in noble steeds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र यन्तु वाजास् तविषीभिर् अग्नयः शुभे सम्मिश्लाः पृषतीर् अयुक्षत । बृहदुक्षो मरुतो विश्ववेदसः प्र वेपयन्ति पर्वतां अदाभ्याः ॥
pra yantu vājās taviṣībhir agnayaḥ śubhe sammiślāḥ pṛṣatīr ayukṣata | bṛhadukṣo maruto viśvavedasaḥ pra vepayanti parvatāṃ adābhyāḥ ||
Let them go forth, the strong, as flames of fire with might. Gathered for victory they have yoked their spotted deer. Pourers of floods, the Maruts, Masters of all wealth, they who can ne'er be conquered, make the mountains shake.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अग्निश्रियो मरुतो विश्वकृष्टय आ त्वेषम् उग्रम् अव ईमहे वयम् । ते स्वानिनो रुद्रिया वर्षनिर्णिजः सिंहा न हेषक्रतवः सुदानवः ॥
agniśriyo maruto viśvakṛṣṭaya ā tveṣam ugram ava īmahe vayam | te svānino rudriyā varṣanirṇijaḥ siṃhā na heṣakratavaḥ sudānavaḥ ||
The Maruts, Friends of men, are glorious as the fire: their mighty and resplendent succour we implore. Those storming Sons of Rudra clothed in robes of rain, boon-givers of good gifts, roar as the lions roar.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
व्रातं-व्रातं गणं-गणं सुशस्तिभिर् अग्नेर् भामम् मरुताम् ओज ईमहे । पृषदश्वासो अनवभ्रराधसो गन्तारो यज्ञं विदथेषु धीराः ॥
vrātaṃ-vrātaṃ gaṇaṃ-gaṇaṃ suśastibhir agner bhāmam marutām oja īmahe | pṛṣadaśvāso anavabhrarādhaso gantāro yajñaṃ vidatheṣu dhīrāḥ ||
We, band on band and troop following troop, entreat with fair lauds Agni's splendour and the Maruts' might, With spotted deer for steeds, with wealth that never fails, they, wise Ones, come to sacrifice at our gatherings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अग्निर् अस्मि जन्मना जातवेदा घृतम् मे चक्षुर् अमृतम् म आसन् । अर्कस् त्रिधातू रजसो विमानो ऽजस्रो घर्मो हविर् अस्मि नाम ॥
agnir asmi janmanā jātavedā ghṛtam me cakṣur amṛtam ma āsan | arkas tridhātū rajaso vimāno 'jasro gharmo havir asmi nāma ||
Agni am I who know, by birth, all creatures. Mine eye is butter, in my mouth is nectar. I am light threefold, measurer of the region exhaustless heat am I, named burnt-oblation.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्रिभिः पवित्रैर् अपुपोद् ध्य् अर्कं हृदा मतिं ज्योतिर् अनु प्रजानन् । वर्षिष्ठं रत्नम् अकृत स्वधाभिर् आद् इद् द्यावापृथिवी पर्य् अपश्यत् ॥
tribhiḥ pavitrair apupod dhy arkaṃ hṛdā matiṃ jyotir anu prajānan | varṣiṣṭhaṃ ratnam akṛta svadhābhir ād id dyāvāpṛthivī pary apaśyat ||
Bearing in mind a thought with light accordant, he purified the Sun with three refinings; By his own nature gained the highest treasure, and looked abroad over the earth and heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शतधारम् उत्सम् अक्षीयमाणं विपश्चितम् पितरं वक्त्वानाम् । मेळिम् मदन्तम् पित्रोर् उपस्थे तं रोदसी पिपृतं सत्यवाचम् ॥
śatadhāram utsam akṣīyamāṇaṃ vipaścitam pitaraṃ vaktvānām | meḷim madantam pitror upasthe taṃ rodasī pipṛtaṃ satyavācam ||
The Spring that fails not with a hundred streamlets, Father inspired of' prayers that men should utter, The Sparkler, joyous in his Parents' bosom, -him, the Truth-speaker, sate ye, Earth and Heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
