Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.8
त्वाम् अग्न ऋतायवः सम् ईधिरे प्रत्नम् प्रत्नास ऊतये सहस्कृत । पुरुश्चन्द्रं यजतं विश्वधायसं दमूनसं गृहपतिं वरेण्यम् ॥
tvām agna ṛtāyavaḥ sam īdhire pratnam pratnāsa ūtaye sahaskṛta | puruścandraṃ yajataṃ viśvadhāyasaṃ damūnasaṃ gṛhapatiṃ vareṇyam ||
O AGNI urged to strength, the men of old who loved the Law enkindled thee, the Ancient, for their aid, Thee very bright, and holy, nourisher of all, most excellent, the Friend and Master of the home.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वाम् अग्ने अतिथिम् पूर्व्यं विशः शोचिष्केशं गृहपतिं नि षेदिरे । बृहत्केतुम् पुरुरूपं धनस्पृतं सुशर्माणं स्ववसं जरद्विषम् ॥
tvām agne atithim pūrvyaṃ viśaḥ śociṣkeśaṃ gṛhapatiṃ ni ṣedire | bṛhatketum pururūpaṃ dhanaspṛtaṃ suśarmāṇaṃ svavasaṃ jaradviṣam ||
Thee, Agni, men have stablished as their guest of old, as Master of the household, thee, with hair of flame; High-bannered, multiform, distributor of wealth, kind helper, good protector, drier of the floods.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वाम् अग्ने मानुषीर् ईळते विशो होत्राविदं विविचिं रत्नधातमम् । गुहा सन्तं सुभग विश्वदर्शतं तुविष्वणसं सुयजं घृतश्रियम् ॥
tvām agne mānuṣīr īḷate viśo hotrāvidaṃ viviciṃ ratnadhātamam | guhā santaṃ subhaga viśvadarśataṃ tuviṣvaṇasaṃ suyajaṃ ghṛtaśriyam ||
The tribes of men praise thee, Agni, who knowest well burnt offerings, the Discerner, lavishest of wealth, Dwelling in secret, Blest One! visible to all, loud-roaring, skilled in worship, glorified with oil.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वाम् अग्ने धर्णसिं विश्वधा वयं गीर्भिर् गृणन्तो नमसोप सेदिम । स नो जुषस्व समिधानो अङ्गिरो देवो मर्तस्य यशसा सुदीतिभिः ॥
tvām agne dharṇasiṃ viśvadhā vayaṃ gīrbhir gṛṇanto namasopa sedima | sa no juṣasva samidhāno aṅgiro devo martasya yaśasā sudītibhiḥ ||
Ever to thee, O Agni, as exceeding strong have we drawn nigh with songs and reverence singing hymns. So be thou pleased with us, Angiras! as a God enkindled by the noble with man's goodly light.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वम् अग्ने पुरुरूपो विशे-विशे वयो दधासि प्रत्नथा पुरुष्टुत । पुरूण्य् अन्ना सहसा वि राजसि त्विषिः सा ते तित्विषाणस्य नाधृषे ॥
tvam agne pururūpo viśe-viśe vayo dadhāsi pratnathā puruṣṭuta | purūṇy annā sahasā vi rājasi tviṣiḥ sā te titviṣāṇasya nādhṛṣe ||
Thou, Agni! multiform, God who art lauded much! givest in every house subsistence as of old. Thou rulest by thy might o'er food of many a sort: that light of thine when blazing may not be opposed.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वाम् अग्ने समिधानं यविष्ठ्य देवा दूतं चक्रिरे हव्यवाहनम् । उरुज्रयसं घृतयोनिम् आहुतं त्वेषं चक्षुर् दधिरे चोदयन्मति ॥
tvām agne samidhānaṃ yaviṣṭhya devā dūtaṃ cakrire havyavāhanam | urujrayasaṃ ghṛtayonim āhutaṃ tveṣaṃ cakṣur dadhire codayanmati ||
The Gods, Most Youthful Agni, have made thee, inflamed, the bearer of oblations and the messenger. Thee, widely-reaching, homed in sacred oil, invoked, effulgent, have they made the Eye that stirs the thought.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वाम् अग्ने प्रदिव आहुतं घृतैः सुम्नायवः सुषमिधा सम् ईधिरे । स वावृधान ओषधीभिर् उक्षितो ऽभि ज्रयांसि पार्थिवा वि तिष्ठसे ॥
tvām agne pradiva āhutaṃ ghṛtaiḥ sumnāyavaḥ suṣamidhā sam īdhire | sa vāvṛdhāna oṣadhībhir ukṣito 'bhi jrayāṃsi pārthivā vi tiṣṭhase ||
Men seeking joy have lit thee worshipped from of old, O Agni, with good fuel and with sacred oil. So thou, bedewed and waxing mighty by the plants, spreadest thyself abroad over the realms of earth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
