Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·6·6.10
पुरो वो मन्द्रं दिव्यं सुवृक्तिम् प्रयति यज्ञे अग्निम् अध्वरे दधिध्वम् । पुर उक्थेभिः स हि नो विभावा स्वध्वरा करति जातवेदाः ॥
puro vo mandraṃ divyaṃ suvṛktim prayati yajñe agnim adhvare dadhidhvam | pura ukthebhiḥ sa hi no vibhāvā svadhvarā karati jātavedāḥ ||
Install at sacrifice, while the rite advances, your pleasant, heavenly Agni, meet for praises. With hymns-for he illumines us-install him. He, Jatavedas, makes our rites successful.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तम् उ द्युमः पुर्वणीक होतर् अग्ने अग्निभिर् मनुष इधानः । स्तोमं यम् अस्मै ममतेव शूषं घृतं न शुचि मतयः पवन्ते ॥
tam u dyumaḥ purvaṇīka hotar agne agnibhir manuṣa idhānaḥ | stomaṃ yam asmai mamateva śūṣaṃ ghṛtaṃ na śuci matayaḥ pavante ||
Hear this laud, Radiant Priest of many aspects, O Agni with the fires of man enkindled, Laud which bards send forth pure as sacred butter, strength to this man, as 'twere for self-advantage.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पीपाय स श्रवसा मर्त्येषु यो अग्नये ददाश विप्र उक्थैः । चित्राभिस् तम् ऊतिभिश् चित्रशोचिर् व्रजस्य साता गोमतो दधाति ॥
pīpāya sa śravasā martyeṣu yo agnaye dadāśa vipra ukthaiḥ | citrābhis tam ūtibhiś citraśocir vrajasya sātā gomato dadhāti ||
Mid mortal men that singer thrives in glory who offers gifts with hymns of praise to Agni, And the God, wondrous bright, with wondrous succours helps him to win a stable filled with cattle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ यः पप्रौ जायमान उर्वी दूरेदृशा भासा कृष्णाध्वा । अध बहु चित् तम ऊर्म्यायास् तिरः शोचिषा ददृशे पावकः ॥
ā yaḥ paprau jāyamāna urvī dūredṛśā bhāsā kṛṣṇādhvā | adha bahu cit tama ūrmyāyās tiraḥ śociṣā dadṛśe pāvakaḥ ||
He, at his birth, whose path is black behind him, filled heaven and earth with far-apparent splendour: And he himself hath been. through night's thick darkness, made manifest by light, the Purifier.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नू नश् चित्रम् पुरुवाजाभिर् ऊती अग्ने रयिम् मघवद्भ्यश् च धेहि । ये राधसा श्रवसा चात्य् अन्यान् सुवीर्येभिश् चाभि सन्ति जनान् ॥
nū naś citram puruvājābhir ūtī agne rayim maghavadbhyaś ca dhehi | ye rādhasā śravasā cāty anyān suvīryebhiś cābhi santi janān ||
With thy most mighty aid, confer, O Agni, wonderful wealth on us and on our princes, Who stand preeminent, surpassing others in liberal gifts, in fame, and hero virtues.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इमं यज्ञं चनो धा अग्न उशन् यं त आसानो जुहुते हविष्मान् । भरद्वाजेषु दधिषे सुवृक्तिम् अवीर् वाजस्य गध्यस्य सातौ ॥
imaṃ yajñaṃ cano dhā agna uśan yaṃ ta āsāno juhute haviṣmān | bharadvājeṣu dadhiṣe suvṛktim avīr vājasya gadhyasya sātau ||
Agni, accept this sacrifice with gladness, which, seated here, the worshipper presenteth. Fair hymns hadst thou among the Bharadvajas, and holpest them to gain abundant vigour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि द्वेषांसीनुहि वर्धयेळाम् मदेम शतहिमाः सुवीराः ॥
vi dveṣāṃsīnuhi vardhayeḷām madema śatahimāḥ suvīrāḥ ||
Scatter our foes, increase our store. May we he glad a hundred winters with brave sons.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
