Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 GREAT art thou, Agni, sacrifice's Herald: not without thee are deathless Gods made joyful. Come hither with all Deities about thee here take thy seat, the first, as Priest, O Agni.

tvā́m īḷate ajiráṃ dūtíyāya havíṣmantaḥ sádam ín mā́nuṣāsaḥ |
yásya devaír ā́sado barhír agne áhāni asmai sudínā bhavanti ||

2 Men with oblations evermore entreat thee, the swift, to undertake an envoy's duty. He on whose sacred grass with Gods thou sittest, to him, O Agni, are the days propitious.

tríś cid aktóḥ prá cikitur vásūni tuvé antár dāśúṣe mártiyāya |
manuṣvád agna ihá yakṣi devā́n bhávā no dūtó abhiśastipā́vā ||

3 Three times a day in thee are shown the treasures sent for the mortal who presents oblation. Bring the Gods hither like a man, O Agni: be thou our envoy, guarding us from curses.

agnír īśe br̥ható adhvarásya agnír víśvasya havíṣaḥ kr̥tásya |
krátuṃ hí asya vásavo juṣánta áthā devā́ dadhire havyavā́ham ||

4 Lord of the lofty sacrifice is Agni, Agni is Lord of every gift presented. The Vasus were contented with his wisdom, so the Gods made him their oblationbearer.

ā́gne vaha havirádyāya devā́n índrajyeṣṭhāsa ihá mādayantām |
imáṃ yajñáṃ diví devéṣu dhehi yūyám pāta suastíbhiḥ sádā naḥ ||

5 O Agni, bring the Gods to taste our presents: with Indra leading, here let them be joyful. Convey this sacrifice to Gods in heaven. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
