Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 THIS is that Agni whence the longing Indra took the pressed Soma deep within his body. Winner of spoils in thousands, like a courser, with praise art thou exalted, Jātavedas.

ágne yát te diví várcaḥ pr̥thivyā́ṃ yád óṣadhīṣu apsú ā́ yajatra |
yénāntárikṣam urú ātatántha tveṣáḥ sá bhānúr arṇavó nr̥cákṣāḥ ||

2 That light of thine in heaven and earth, O Agni, in plants, O Holy One, and in the waters, Wherewith thou hast spread wide the air's mid-region-bright is that splendour, wavy, man-beholding.

ágne divó árṇam áchā jigāsi áchā devā́m̐ ūciṣe dhíṣṇiyā yé |
yā́ rocané parástāt sū́riyasya yā́ś cāvástād upatíṣṭhanta ā́paḥ ||

3 O Agni, to the sea of heaven thou goest: thou hast called hither Gods beheld in spirit. The waters, too, come hither, those up yonder in the Sun's realm of light, and those beneath it.

purīṣíyāso agnáyaḥ prāvaṇébhiḥ sajóṣasaḥ |
juṣántāṃ yajñám adrúho anamīvā́ íṣo mahī́ḥ ||

4 Let fires that dwell in mist, combined with those that have their home in floods, Guileless accept our sacrifice, great viands free from all disease.

íḷām agne purudáṃsaṃ saníṃ góḥ śaśvattamáṃ hávamānāya sādha |
siyā́n naḥ sūnús tánayo vijā́vā ágne sā́ te sumatír bhūtu asmé ||

5 Agni, as holy food to thine invoker give wealth in cattle, lasting, rich in marvels. To us be born a son and spreading offspring. Agni, be this thy gracious will to us-ward.
