Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.7

मूर्धानं दिवो अरतिम् पृथिव्या वैश्वानरम् ऋत आ जातम् अग्निम् । कविं सम्राजम् अतिथिं जनानाम् आसन्न् आ पात्रं जनयन्त देवाः ॥

mūrdhānaṃ divo aratim pṛthivyā vaiśvānaram ṛta ā jātam agnim | kaviṃ samrājam atithiṃ janānām āsann ā pātraṃ janayanta devāḥ ||

Him, messenger of earth and head of heaven, Agni Vaisvanara, born in holy Order, The Sage, the King, the guest of men, a vessel fit for their mouths, the Gods have generated.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

नाभिं यज्ञानां सदनं रयीणाम् महाम् आहावम् अभि सं नवन्त । वैश्वानरं रथ्यम् अध्वराणां यज्ञस्य केतुं जनयन्त देवाः ॥

nābhiṃ yajñānāṃ sadanaṃ rayīṇām mahām āhāvam abhi saṃ navanta | vaiśvānaraṃ rathyam adhvarāṇāṃ yajñasya ketuṃ janayanta devāḥ ||

Him have they praised, mid-point of sacrifices, great cistern of libations, seat of riches. Vaisvanara, conveyer of oblations, ensign of worship, have the Gods engendered.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वद् विप्रो जायते वाज्य् अग्ने त्वद् वीरासो अभिमातिषाहः । वैश्वानर त्वम् अस्मासु धेहि वसूनि राजन् स्पृहयाय्याणि ॥

tvad vipro jāyate vājy agne tvad vīrāso abhimātiṣāhaḥ | vaiśvānara tvam asmāsu dhehi vasūni rājan spṛhayāyyāṇi ||

From thee, O Agni, springs the mighty singer, from thee come heroes who subdue the foeman. O King, Vaisvanara, bestow thou on us excellent treasures worthy to belonged fo r.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वां विश्वे अमृत जायमानं शिशुं न देवा अभि सं नवन्ते । तव क्रतुभिर् अमृतत्वम् आयन् वैश्वानर यत् पित्रोर् अदीदेः ॥

tvāṃ viśve amṛta jāyamānaṃ śiśuṃ na devā abhi saṃ navante | tava kratubhir amṛtatvam āyan vaiśvānara yat pitror adīdeḥ ||

To thee, Immortal! when to life thou springest, all the Gods sing for joy as to their infant. They by thy mental powers were made immortal, Vaisvanara, when thou shonest from thy Parents.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

वैश्वानर तव तानि व्रतानि महान्य् अग्ने नकिर् आ दधर्ष । यज् जायमानः पित्रोर् उपस्थे ऽविन्दः केतुं वयुनेष्व् अह्नाम् ॥

vaiśvānara tava tāni vratāni mahāny agne nakir ā dadharṣa | yaj jāyamānaḥ pitror upasthe 'vindaḥ ketuṃ vayuneṣv ahnām ||

Agni Vaisvanara, no one hath ever resisted these thy mighty ordinances, When thou, arising from thy Parents' bosom, foundest the light for days' appointed courses.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

वैश्वानरस्य विमितानि चक्षसा सानूनि दिवो अमृतस्य केतुना । तस्येद् उ विश्वा भुवनाधि मूर्धनि वया इव रुरुहुः सप्त विस्रुहः ॥

vaiśvānarasya vimitāni cakṣasā sānūni divo amṛtasya ketunā | tasyed u viśvā bhuvanādhi mūrdhani vayā iva ruruhuḥ sapta visruhaḥ ||

The summits of the heaven are traversed through and through by the Immortal's light, Vaisvanara's brilliancy. All creatures in existence rest upon his head. The Seven swift-flowing Streams have grown like branches forth,

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

वि यो रजांस्य् अमिमीत सुक्रतुर् वैश्वानरो वि दिवो रोचना कविः । परि यो विश्वा भुवनानि पप्रथे ऽदब्धो गोपा अमृतस्य रक्षिता ॥

vi yo rajāṃsy amimīta sukratur vaiśvānaro vi divo rocanā kaviḥ | pari yo viśvā bhuvanāni paprathe 'dabdho gopā amṛtasya rakṣitā ||

Vaisvanara, who measured out the realms of air, Sage very wise who made the lucid spheres of heaven, The Undeceivable who spread out all the worlds, keeper is he and guard of immortality.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
