Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·6·6.11
यजस्व होतर् इषितो यजीयान् अग्ने बाधो मरुतां न प्रयुक्ति । आ नो मित्रावरुणा नासत्या द्यावा होत्राय पृथिवी ववृत्याः ॥
yajasva hotar iṣito yajīyān agne bādho marutāṃ na prayukti | ā no mitrāvaruṇā nāsatyā dyāvā hotrāya pṛthivī vavṛtyāḥ ||
Eagerly Sacrifice thou, most skilful, Agni! Priest, pressing on as if the Maruts sent thee. To our oblation bring the two Nasatyas, Mitra and Varuna and Earth and Heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं होता मन्द्रतमो नो अध्रुग् अन्तर् देवो विदथा मर्त्येषु । पावकया जुह्वा वह्निर् आसाग्ने यजस्व तन्वं तव स्वाम् ॥
tvaṃ hotā mandratamo no adhrug antar devo vidathā martyeṣu | pāvakayā juhvā vahnir āsāgne yajasva tanvaṃ tava svām ||
Thou art our guileless, most delightful Herald, the God, among mankind, of holy synods. A Priest with purifying tongue, O Agni, sacrifice with thy mouth to thine own body.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
धन्या चिद् धि त्वे धिषणा वष्टि प्र देवाञ् जन्म गृणते यजध्यै । वेपिष्ठो अङ्गिरसां यद् ध विप्रो मधु च्छन्दो भनति रेभ इष्टौ ॥
dhanyā cid dhi tve dhiṣaṇā vaṣṭi pra devāñ janma gṛṇate yajadhyai | vepiṣṭho aṅgirasāṃ yad dha vipro madhu cchando bhanati rebha iṣṭau ||
For even the blessed longing that is in thee would bring the Gods down to the singer's worship, When the Angirases' sagest Sage, the Poet, sings the sweet measure at the solemn service.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अदिद्युतत् स्व् अपाको विभावाग्ने यजस्व रोदसी उरूची । आयुं न यं नमसा रातहव्या अञ्जन्ति सुप्रयसम् पञ्च जनाः ॥
adidyutat sv apāko vibhāvāgne yajasva rodasī urūcī | āyuṃ na yaṃ namasā rātahavyā añjanti suprayasam pañca janāḥ ||
Bright hath he beamed, the wise, the far-refulgent. Worship the two widespreading Worlds, O Agni, Whom as the Living One rich in oblations the Five Tribes, bringing gifts, adorn with homage.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वृञ्जे ह यन् नमसा बर्हिर् अग्नाव् अयामि स्रुग् घृतवती सुवृक्तिः । अम्यक्षि सद्म सदने पृथिव्या अश्रायि यज्ञः सूर्ये न चक्षुः ॥
vṛñje ha yan namasā barhir agnāv ayāmi srug ghṛtavatī suvṛktiḥ | amyakṣi sadma sadane pṛthivyā aśrāyi yajñaḥ sūrye na cakṣuḥ ||
When I with reverence clip the grass for Agni, when the trimmed ladle, fullof oil, is lifted, Firm on the seat of earth is based the altar: eye-like, the sacrifice is directed Sun-ward.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दशस्या नः पुर्वणीक होतर् देवेभिर् अग्ने अग्निभिर् इधानः । रायः सूनो सहसो वावसाना अति स्रसेम वृजनं नांहः ॥
daśasyā naḥ purvaṇīka hotar devebhir agne agnibhir idhānaḥ | rāyaḥ sūno sahaso vāvasānā ati srasema vṛjanaṃ nāṃhaḥ ||
Enrich us, O thou Priest of many aspects, with the Gods, Agni, with thy fires, enkindled. O Son of Strength, clad in the robe of riches, may we escape from woe as from a prison.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
