Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 As ’twere Some goodly treasure Mātariśvan brought, as a gift, the glorious Priest to Bhṛgu, Banner of sacrifice, the good Protector, child of two births, the swiftly moving envoy.

asyá śā́sur ubháyāsaḥ sacante havíṣmanta uśíjo yé ca mártāḥ |
diváś cit pū́rvo ní asādi hótā āpŕ̥chiyo viśpátir vikṣú vedhā́ḥ ||

2 Both Gods and men obey this Ruler's order, Gods who are worshipped, men who yearn and worship. As Priest he takes his seat ere break of morning, House-Lord, adorable with men, Ordainer.

táṃ návyasī hr̥dá ā́ jā́yamānam asmát sukīrtír mádhujihvam aśyāḥ |
yám r̥tvíjo vr̥jáne mā́nuṣāsaḥ práyasvanta āyávo jī́jananta ||

3 May our fair praise, heart-born, most recent, reach him whose tongue, e’en at his birth, is sweet as honey; Whom mortal priests, men, with their strong endeavour, supplied with dainty viands, have created.

uśík pavākó+ vásur mā́nuṣeṣu váreṇiyo hótā adhāyi vikṣú |
dámūnā · gr̥hápatir dáma ā́m̐ agnír bhuvad rayipátī rayīṇā́m ||

4 Good to mankind, the yearning Purifier hath among men been placed as Priest choice-worthy. May Agni be our Friend, Lord of the Household, protector of the riches in the dwelling.

táṃ tvā vayám pátim agne rayīṇā́m prá śaṃsāmo matíbhir gótamāsaḥ |
āśúṃ ná vājambharám marjáyantaḥ prātár makṣū́ dhiyā́vasur jagamyāt ||

5 As such we Gotamas with hymns extol thee, O Agni, as the guardian Lord of riches, Decking thee like a horse, the swift prizewinner. May he, enriched with prayer, come soon and early.
