Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 AGNI inflamed hath sent to heaven his lustre: he shines forth widely turning unto Morning. Eastward the ladle goes that brings all blessing, praising the Godswith homage and oblation.

samidhyámāno amŕ̥tasya rājasi havíṣ kr̥ṇvántaṃ sacase suastáye |
víśvaṃ sá dhatte dráviṇaṃ yám ínvasi ātithyám agne ní ca dhatta ít puráḥ ||

2 Enkindled, thou art King of the immortal world: him who brings offerings thou attendest for his weal. He whom thou urgest on makes all possessions his: he sets before thee, Agni, gifts that guests may claim.

ágne śárdha mahaté saúbhagāya táva dyumnā́ni uttamā́ni santu |
sáṃ jāspatyáṃ suyámam ā́ kr̥ṇuṣva śatrūyatā́m abhí tiṣṭhā máhāṃsi ||

3 Show thyself strong for mighty bliss, O Agni, most excellent be thine effulgent splendours. Make easy to maintain our household lordship, and overcome the might of those who hate us.

sámiddhasya prámahaso ágne vánde táva śríyam |
vr̥ṣabhó dyumnávām̐ asi sám adhvaréṣu idhyase ||

4 Thy glory, Agni, I adore, kindled, exalted in thy strength. A Steer of brilliant splendour, thou art lighted well at sacred rites.

sámiddho agna āhuta devā́n yakṣi suadhvara |
tuváṃ hí havyavā́ḷ ási ||

5 Agni, invoked and kindled, serve the Gods, thou skilled in sacrifice: For thou art bearer of our gifts.

ā́ juhotā duvasyáta agním prayatí adhvaré |
vr̥ṇīdhváṃ havyavā́hanam ||

6 Invoke and worship Agni while the sacrificial rite proceeds: For offering-bearer choose ye him.
