Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 THY blessed majesty, victorious Agni, shines brightly in the neighbourhood of Sūrya. Splendid to see, it shows even at nighttime, and food is fair to look on in thy beauty.

ví ṣāhi agne gr̥ṇaté manīṣā́ṃ kháṃ vépasā tuvijāta stávānaḥ |
víśvebhir yád vāvánaḥ śukra devaís tán no rāsva sumaho bhū́ri mánma ||

2 Agni, disclose his thought for him who singeth, the well, Strong God! while thou art praised with fervour. Vouchsafe to us that powerful hymn, O Mighty, which, Radiant One! with all the Gods thou lovest.

tuvád agne kā́viyā tván manīṣā́s tuvád ukthā́ jāyante rā́dhiyāni |
tuvád eti dráviṇaṃ vīrápeśā itthā́dhiye dāśúṣe mártiyāya ||

3 From thee, O Agni, springs poetic wisdom, from thee come thoughts and hymns of praise that prosper; From thee flows wealth, with heroes to adorn it, to the true-hearted man who gives oblation.

tuvád vājī́ vājambharó víhāyā abhiṣṭikŕ̥j jāyate satyáśuṣmaḥ |
tuvád rayír devájūto mayobhús tuvád āśúr jūjuvā́m̐ agne árvā ||

4 From thee the hero springs who wins the booty, bringer of help, mighty, of real courage. From thee comes wealth, sent by the Gods, bliss-giving; Agni, from thee the fleet impetuous charger.

tuvā́m agne prathamáṃ devayánto devám mártā amr̥ta mandrájihvam |
dveṣoyútam ā́ vivāsanti dhībhír dámūnasaṃ gr̥hápatim ámūram ||

5 Immortal Agni, thee whose voice is pleasant, as first in rank, as God, religious mortals Invite with hymns; thee who removest hatred, Friend of the Home, the household's Lord, unerring.

āré asmád ámatim āré áṃha āré víśvāṃ durmatíṃ yán nipā́si |
doṣā́ śiváḥ sahasaḥ sūno agne yáṃ devá ā́ cit sácase suastí ||

6 Far from us thou removest want and sorrow, far from us all ill-will when thou protectest. Son of Strength, Agni, blest is he at evening, whom thou as God attendest for his welfare.
