Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.42
प्र ब्रह्माणो अङ्गिरसो नक्षन्त प्र क्रन्दनुर् नभन्यस्य वेतु । प्र धेनव उदप्रुतो नवन्त युज्याताम् अद्री अध्वरस्य पेशः ॥
pra brahmāṇo aṅgiraso nakṣanta pra krandanur nabhanyasya vetu | pra dhenava udapruto navanta yujyātām adrī adhvarasya peśaḥ ||
Let Brahmans and Angirases come forward, and let the roar of cloudy heaven surround us. Loud low the Milch-kine swimming in the waters: set be the stones that grace our holy service.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुगस् ते अग्ने सनवित्तो अध्वा युक्ष्वा सुते हरितो रोहितश् च । ये वा सद्मन्न् अरुषा वीरवाहो हुवे देवानां जनिमानि सत्तः ॥
sugas te agne sanavitto adhvā yukṣvā sute harito rohitaś ca | ye vā sadmann aruṣā vīravāho huve devānāṃ janimāni sattaḥ ||
Fair, Agni, is thy long-known path to travel: yoke for the juice tfiy bay, thy ruddy horses, Or red steeds, Hero-bearing, for the chamber. Seated, I call the Deities' generations.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सम् उ वो यज्ञम् महयन् नमोभिः प्र होता मन्द्रो रिरिच उपाके । यजस्व सु पुर्वणीक देवान् आ यज्ञियाम् अरमतिं ववृत्याः ॥
sam u vo yajñam mahayan namobhiḥ pra hotā mandro ririca upāke | yajasva su purvaṇīka devān ā yajñiyām aramatiṃ vavṛtyāḥ ||
They glorify your sacrifice with worship, yet the glad Priest near them is left unequalled. Bring the Gods hither, thou of many aspects: turn hitherward Aramati the Holy.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यदा वीरस्य रेवतो दुरोणे स्योनशीर् अतिथिर् आचिकेतत् । सुप्रीतो अग्निः सुधितो दम आ स विशे दाति वार्यम् इयत्यै ॥
yadā vīrasya revato duroṇe syonaśīr atithir āciketat | suprīto agniḥ sudhito dama ā sa viśe dāti vāryam iyatyai ||
What time the Guest hath made himself apparent, at ease reclining in the rich man's dwelling, Agni, well-pleased, well-placed within the chamber gives to a house like this wealth worth the choosing.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इमं नो अग्ने अध्वरं जुषस्व मरुत्स्व् इन्द्रे यशसं कृधी नः । आ नक्ता बर्हिः सदताम् उषासोशन्ता मित्रावरुणा यजेह ॥
imaṃ no agne adhvaraṃ juṣasva marutsv indre yaśasaṃ kṛdhī naḥ | ā naktā barhiḥ sadatām uṣāsośantā mitrāvaruṇā yajeha ||
Accept this sacrifice of ours, O Agni; glorify it with Indra and the Maruts. Here on our grass let Night and Dawn be seated: bring longing Varuna and Mitra hither.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवाग्निं सहस्यं वसिष्ठो रायस्कामो विश्वप्स्न्यस्य स्तौत् । इषं रयिम् पप्रथद् वाजम् अस्मे यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
evāgniṃ sahasyaṃ vasiṣṭho rāyaskāmo viśvapsnyasya staut | iṣaṃ rayim paprathad vājam asme yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
Thus hath Vasistha praised victorious Agni, yearning for wealth that giveth all subsistence. May he bestow on us food, strength, and riches. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
