Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.7
सखायः सं वः सम्यञ्चम् इषं स्तोमं चाग्नये । वर्षिष्ठाय क्षितीनाम् ऊर्जो नप्त्रे सहस्वते ॥
sakhāyaḥ saṃ vaḥ samyañcam iṣaṃ stomaṃ cāgnaye | varṣiṣṭhāya kṣitīnām ūrjo naptre sahasvate ||
Offer to Agni, O my friends, your seemly food, your seemly praise; To him supremest o'er the folk, the Son of Strength, the mighty Lord:
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
कुत्रा चिद् यस्य समृतौ रण्वा नरो नृषदने । अर्हन्तश् चिद् यम् इन्धते संजनयन्ति जन्तवः ॥
kutrā cid yasya samṛtau raṇvā naro nṛṣadane | arhantaś cid yam indhate saṃjanayanti jantavaḥ ||
Him in whose presence, when they meet in full assembly, men rejoice; Even him whom worthy ones inflame, and living creatures bring to life.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सं यद् इषो वनामहे सं हव्या मानुषाणाम् । उत द्युम्नस्य शवस ऋतस्य रश्मिम् आ ददे ॥
saṃ yad iṣo vanāmahe saṃ havyā mānuṣāṇām | uta dyumnasya śavasa ṛtasya raśmim ā dade ||
When we present to him the food and sacrificial gifts of men, He by the might of splendour grasps the holy Ordinance's rein.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स स्मा कृणोति केतुम् आ नक्तं चिद् दूर आ सते । पावको यद् वनस्पतीन् प्र स्मा मिनात्य् अजरः ॥
sa smā kṛṇoti ketum ā naktaṃ cid dūra ā sate | pāvako yad vanaspatīn pra smā mināty ajaraḥ ||
He gives a signal in the night even to him who is afar, When he, the Bright, unchanged by old, consumes the sovrans of the wood.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अव स्म यस्य वेषणे स्वेदम् पथिषु जुह्वति । अभीम् अह स्वजेन्यम् भूमा पृष्ठेव रुरुहुः ॥
ava sma yasya veṣaṇe svedam pathiṣu juhvati | abhīm aha svajenyam bhūmā pṛṣṭheva ruruhuḥ ||
He in whose service on the ways they offer up their drops of sweat, On him is their high kin have they mounted, as ridges on the earth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यम् मर्त्यः पुरुस्पृहं विदद् विश्वस्य धायसे । प्र स्वादनम् पितूनाम् अस्ततातिं चिद् आयवे ॥
yam martyaḥ puruspṛhaṃ vidad viśvasya dhāyase | pra svādanam pitūnām astatātiṃ cid āyave ||
Whom, sought of many, mortal man hath found to be the Stay of all; He who gives flavour to our food, the home of every man that lives.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स हि ष्मा धन्वाक्षितं दाता न दात्य् आ पशुः । हिरिश्मश्रुः शुचिदन्न् ऋभुर् अनिभृष्टतविषिः ॥
sa hi ṣmā dhanvākṣitaṃ dātā na dāty ā paśuḥ | hiriśmaśruḥ śucidann ṛbhur anibhṛṣṭataviṣiḥ ||
Even as a herd that crops the grass he shears the field and wilderness, With flashing teeth and beard of gold, deft with his unabated might.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शुचिः ष्म यस्मा अत्रिवत् प्र स्वधितीव रीयते । सुषूर् असूत माता क्राणा यद् आनशे भगम् ॥
śuciḥ ṣma yasmā atrivat pra svadhitīva rīyate | suṣūr asūta mātā krāṇā yad ānaśe bhagam ||
For him, to whom, bright as an axe he, as to Atri, hath flashed forth, Hath the well-bearing Mother borne, producing when her time is come.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ यस् ते सर्पिरासुते ऽग्ने शम् अस्ति धायसे । ऐषु द्युम्नम् उत श्रव आ चित्तम् मर्त्येषु धाः ॥
ā yas te sarpirāsute 'gne śam asti dhāyase | aiṣu dyumnam uta śrava ā cittam martyeṣu dhāḥ ||
Agni to whom the oil is shed by him thou lovest to support, Bestow upon these mortals fame and splendour and intelligence.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इति चिन् मन्युम् अध्रिजस् त्वादातम् आ पशुं ददे । आद् अग्ने अपृणतो ऽत्रिः सासह्याद् दस्यून् इषः सासह्यान् नॄन् ॥
iti cin manyum adhrijas tvādātam ā paśuṃ dade | ād agne apṛṇato 'triḥ sāsahyād dasyūn iṣaḥ sāsahyān nṝn ||
Such zeal hath he, resistless one: he gained the cattle given by thee. Agni, may Atri overcome the Dasyus who bestow no gifts, subdue the men who give no food.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
