Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.28
समिद्धो अग्निर् दिवि शोचिर् अश्रेत् प्रत्यङ्ङ् उषसम् उर्विया वि भाति । एति प्राची विश्ववारा नमोभिर् देवां ईळाना हविषा घृताची ॥
samiddho agnir divi śocir aśret pratyaṅṅ uṣasam urviyā vi bhāti | eti prācī viśvavārā namobhir devāṃ īḷānā haviṣā ghṛtācī ||
Agni inflamed hath sent to heaven his lustre: he shines forth widely turning unto Morning. Eastward the ladle goes that brings all blessing, praising the Godswith homage and oblation.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
समिध्यमानो अमृतस्य राजसि हविष् कृण्वन्तं सचसे स्वस्तये । विश्वं स धत्ते द्रविणं यम् इन्वस्य् आतिथ्यम् अग्ने नि च धत्त इत् पुरः ॥
samidhyamāno amṛtasya rājasi haviṣ kṛṇvantaṃ sacase svastaye | viśvaṃ sa dhatte draviṇaṃ yam invasy ātithyam agne ni ca dhatta it puraḥ ||
Enkindled, thou art King of the immortal world: him who brings offerings thou attendest for his weal. He whom thou urgest on makes all possessions his: he sets before thee, Agni, gifts that guests may claim.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अग्ने शर्ध महते सौभगाय तव द्युम्नान्य् उत्तमानि सन्तु । सं जास्पत्यं सुयमम् आ कृणुष्व शत्रूयताम् अभि तिष्ठा महांसि ॥
agne śardha mahate saubhagāya tava dyumnāny uttamāni santu | saṃ jāspatyaṃ suyamam ā kṛṇuṣva śatrūyatām abhi tiṣṭhā mahāṃsi ||
Show thyself strong for mighty bliss, O Agni, most excellent be thine effulgent splendours. Make easy to maintain our household lordship, and overcome the might of those who hate us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
समिद्धस्य प्रमहसो ऽग्ने वन्दे तव श्रियम् । वृषभो द्युम्नवां असि सम् अध्वरेष्व् इध्यसे ॥
samiddhasya pramahaso 'gne vande tava śriyam | vṛṣabho dyumnavāṃ asi sam adhvareṣv idhyase ||
Thy glory, Agni, I adore, kindled, exalted in thy strength. A Steer of brilliant splendour, thou art lighted well at sacred rites.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
समिद्धो अग्न आहुत देवान् यक्षि स्वध्वर । त्वं हि हव्यवाळ् असि ॥
samiddho agna āhuta devān yakṣi svadhvara | tvaṃ hi havyavāḷ asi ||
Agni, invoked and kindled, serve the Gods, thou skilled in sacrifice: For thou art bearer of our gifts.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ जुहोता दुवस्यताग्निम् प्रयत्य् अध्वरे । वृणीध्वं हव्यवाहनम् ॥
ā juhotā duvasyatāgnim prayaty adhvare | vṛṇīdhvaṃ havyavāhanam ||
Invoke and worship Agni while the sacrificial rite proceeds: For offering-bearer choose ye him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
