Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 AGNI, quick, sage, infallible, all-knowing, I choose to be our Priest at this oblation. In our Gods’ service he, best skilled, shall worship: may he obtain us boons for strength and riches.

prá te agne havíṣmatīm iyarmi áchā sudyumnā́ṃ rātínīṃ ghr̥tā́cīm |
pradakṣiṇíd devátātim urāṇáḥ sáṃ rātíbhir vásubhir yajñám aśret ||

2 Agni, to thee I lift the oil-fed ladle, bright, with an offering, bearing our oblation. From the right hand, choosing the Gods’ attendance, he with rich presents hath arranged the worship.

sá téjīyasā mánasā tuvóta utá śikṣa suapatyásya śikṣóḥ |
ágne rāyó nŕ̥tamasya prábhūtau bhūyā́ma te suṣṭutáyaś ca vásvaḥ ||

3 Of keenest spirit is the man thou aidest give us good offspring, thou who givest freely. In power of wealth most rich in men. O Agni, of thee, the Good, may we sing forth fair praises.

bhū́rīṇi hí tvé dadhiré ánīkā ágne devásya yájyavo jánāsaḥ |
sá ā́ vaha devátātiṃ yaviṣṭha śárdho yád adyá diviyáṃ yájāsi ||

4 Men as they worship thee the God, O Agni, have set on thee full many a brilliant, aspect. So bring Most Youthful One, the Gods’ assembly, the Heavenly Host which thou to-day shalt honour.

yát tvā hótāram anájan miyédhe niṣādáyanto yajáthāya devā́ḥ |
sá tváṃ no agne avitéhá bodhi ádhi śrávāṃsi dhehi nas tanū́ṣu ||

5 When Gods anoint thee Priest at their oblation, and seat thee for thy task as Sacrificer, O Agni, be thou here our kind defender, and to ourselves vouchsafe the gift of glory.
