Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.5
प्राग्नये तवसे भरध्वं गिरं दिवो अरतये पृथिव्याः । यो विश्वेषाम् अमृतानाम् उपस्थे वैश्वानरो वावृधे जागृवद्भिः ॥
prāgnaye tavase bharadhvaṃ giraṃ divo arataye pṛthivyāḥ | yo viśveṣām amṛtānām upasthe vaiśvānaro vāvṛdhe jāgṛvadbhiḥ ||
Bring forth your song of praise to mighty Agni, the speedy messenger of earth and heaven, Vaisvanara, who, with those who wake, hath waxen great in the lap of all the Gods Immortal.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पृष्टो दिवि धाय्य् अग्निः पृथिव्यां नेता सिन्धूनां वृषभ स्तियानाम् । स मानुषीर् अभि विशो वि भाति वैश्वानरो वावृधानो वरेण ॥
pṛṣṭo divi dhāyy agniḥ pṛthivyāṃ netā sindhūnāṃ vṛṣabha stiyānām | sa mānuṣīr abhi viśo vi bhāti vaiśvānaro vāvṛdhāno vareṇa ||
Sought in the heavens, on earth is Agni stablished, leader of rivers, Bull of standing waters. Vaisvanara when he hath grown in glory, shines on the tribes of men with light and treasure.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वद् भिया विश आयन्न् असिक्नीर् असमना जहतीर् भोजनानि । वैश्वानर पूरवे शोशुचानः पुरो यद् अग्ने दरयन्न् अदीदेः ॥
tvad bhiyā viśa āyann asiknīr asamanā jahatīr bhojanāni | vaiśvānara pūrave śośucānaḥ puro yad agne darayann adīdeḥ ||
For fear of thee forth fled the dark-hued races, scattered abroad, deserting their possessions, When, glowing, O Vaisvanara, for Puru, thou Agni didst light up and rend their castles.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तव त्रिधातु पृथिवी उत द्यौर् वैश्वानर व्रतम् अग्ने सचन्त । त्वम् भासा रोदसी आ ततन्थाजस्रेण शोचिषा शोशुचानः ॥
tava tridhātu pṛthivī uta dyaur vaiśvānara vratam agne sacanta | tvam bhāsā rodasī ā tatanthājasreṇa śociṣā śośucānaḥ ||
Agni Vaisvanara, both Earth and Heaven submit them to thy threefold jurisdiction. Refulgent in thine undecaying lustre thou hast invested both the worlds with splendour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वाम् अग्ने हरितो वावशाना गिरः सचन्ते धुनयो घृताचीः । पतिं कृष्टीनां रथ्यं रयीणां वैश्वानरम् उषसां केतुम् अह्नाम् ॥
tvām agne harito vāvaśānā giraḥ sacante dhunayo ghṛtācīḥ | patiṃ kṛṣṭīnāṃ rathyaṃ rayīṇāṃ vaiśvānaram uṣasāṃ ketum ahnām ||
Agni, the tawny horses, loudly neighing our resonant hymns that drop with oil, attend thee; Lord of the tribes, our Charioteer of riches, Ensign of days, Vaisvanara of mornings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वे असुर्यं वसवो न्य् ऋण्वन् क्रतुं हि ते मित्रमहो जुषन्त । त्वं दस्यूंर् ओकसो अग्न आज उरु ज्योतिर् जनयन्न् आर्याय ॥
tve asuryaṃ vasavo ny ṛṇvan kratuṃ hi te mitramaho juṣanta | tvaṃ dasyūṃr okaso agna āja uru jyotir janayann āryāya ||
In thee, O bright as Mitra, Vasus seated the might of Aduras, for they loved thy spirit. Thou drivest Dasyus from their home, O Agni, and broughtest forth broad light to light the Arya.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स जायमानः परमे व्योमन् वायुर् न पाथः परि पासि सद्यः । त्वम् भुवना जनयन्न् अभि क्रन्न् अपत्याय जातवेदो दशस्यन् ॥
sa jāyamānaḥ parame vyoman vāyur na pāthaḥ pari pāsi sadyaḥ | tvam bhuvanā janayann abhi krann apatyāya jātavedo daśasyan ||
Born in the loftiest heaven thou in a moment reachest, like wind, the place where Gods inhabit. Thou, favouring thine offspring, roaredst loudly when giving life to creatures, Jatavedas.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ताम् अग्ने अस्मे इषम् एरयस्व वैश्वानर द्युमतीं जातवेदः । यया राधः पिन्वसि विश्ववार पृथु श्रवो दाशुषे मर्त्याय ॥
tām agne asme iṣam erayasva vaiśvānara dyumatīṃ jātavedaḥ | yayā rādhaḥ pinvasi viśvavāra pṛthu śravo dāśuṣe martyāya ||
Send us that strength, Vaisvanara, send it, Agni, that strength, O Jatavedas, full of splendour, Wherewith, all-bounteous God, thou pourest riches, as fame wide-spreading, on the man who offers.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं नो अग्ने मघवद्भ्यः पुरुक्षुं रयिं नि वाजं श्रुत्यं युवस्व । वैश्वानर महि नः शर्म यच्छ रुद्रेभिर् अग्ने वसुभिः सजोषाः ॥
taṃ no agne maghavadbhyaḥ purukṣuṃ rayiṃ ni vājaṃ śrutyaṃ yuvasva | vaiśvānara mahi naḥ śarma yaccha rudrebhir agne vasubhiḥ sajoṣāḥ ||
Agni, bestow upon our chiefs and nobles that famous power, that wealth which feedeth many. Accordant with the Vasus and the Rudras, Agni, Vaisvanara, give us sure protection.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
