Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.13

प्राग्नये विश्वशुचे धियन्धे ऽसुरघ्ने मन्म धीतिम् भरध्वम् । भरे हविर् न बर्हिषि प्रीणानो वैश्वानराय यतये मतीनाम् ॥

prāgnaye viśvaśuce dhiyandhe 'suraghne manma dhītim bharadhvam | bhare havir na barhiṣi prīṇāno vaiśvānarāya yataye matīnām ||

Bring song and hymn to Agni, Asura-slayer, enlightener of all and thought-bestower. Like an oblation on the grass, to please him, I bring this to Vaisvanara, hymn-inspirer.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वम् अग्ने शोचिषा शोशुचान आ रोदसी अपृणा जायमानः । त्वं देवां अभिशस्तेर् अमुञ्चो वैश्वानर जातवेदो महित्वा ॥

tvam agne śociṣā śośucāna ā rodasī apṛṇā jāyamānaḥ | tvaṃ devāṃ abhiśaster amuñco vaiśvānara jātavedo mahitvā ||

Thou with thy flame, O Agni, brightly glowing, hast at thy birth filled full the earth and heaven. Thou with thy might, Vaisvanara Jatavedas, settest the Gods free from the curse that bound them.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

जातो यद् अग्ने भुवना व्य् अख्यः पशून् न गोपा इर्यः परिज्मा । वैश्वानर ब्रह्मणे विन्द गातुं यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

jāto yad agne bhuvanā vy akhyaḥ paśūn na gopā iryaḥ parijmā | vaiśvānara brahmaṇe vinda gātuṃ yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Agni, when, born thou lookedst on all creatures, like a brisk herdsman moving round his cattle. The path to prayer, Vaisvanara, thou foundest. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
