Your envoy who possesses all, Immortal, bearer of your gifts, Best worshipper, I woo with song.

स हि वेदा वसुधितिम् महां आरोधनं दिवः । स देवां एह वक्षति ॥
sa hi vedā vasudhitim mahāṃ ārodhanaṃ divaḥ | sa devāṃ eha vakṣati ||
He, Mighty, knows the gift of wealth, he knows the deep recess of heaven: He shall bring hitherward the Gods.

स वेद देव आनमं देवां ऋतायते दमे । दाति प्रियाणि चिद् वसु ॥
sa veda deva ānamaṃ devāṃ ṛtāyate dame | dāti priyāṇi cid vasu ||
He knows, a God himself, to guide Gods to the righteous in his home: He gives e'en treasures that we love.

sa hotā sed u dūtyaṃ cikitvāṃ antar īyate | vidvāṃ ārodhanaṃ divaḥ ||
He is the Herald: well-informed, he doth his errand to and fro, Knowing the deep recess of heaven.

ते स्याम ये अग्नये ददाशुर् हव्यदातिभिः । य ईम् पुष्यन्त इन्धते ॥
te syāma ye agnaye dadāśur havyadātibhiḥ | ya īm puṣyanta indhate ||
May we be they who gratify Agni with sacrificial gifts, Who cherish and enkindle him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ते राया ते सुवीर्यैः ससवांसो वि शृण्विरे । ये अग्ना दधिरे दुवः ॥
te rāyā te suvīryaiḥ sasavāṃso vi śṛṇvire | ye agnā dadhire duvaḥ ||
Illustrious for wealth are they, and hero deeds, victorious, Who have served Agni reverently.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्मे रायो दिवे-दिवे सं चरन्तु पुरुस्पृहः । अस्मे वाजास ईरताम् ॥
asme rāyo dive-dive saṃ carantu puruspṛhaḥ | asme vājāsa īratām ||
So unto us, day after day, may riches craved by many come, And power and might spring up for us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स विप्रश् चर्षणीनां शवसा मानुषाणाम् । अति क्षिप्रेव विध्यति ॥
sa vipraś carṣaṇīnāṃ śavasā mānuṣāṇām | ati kṣipreva vidhyati ||
That holy Singer in his strength shoots forth his arrows swifter than The swift shafts of the tribes of men.
