4,9 Agni

4.IX Agni

ágne mr̥̄ḷá+ mahā́m̐ asi yá īm ā́ devayúṃ jánam |
iyétha barhír āsádam ||

1 AGNI, show favour: great art thou who to this pious man art come, To seat thee on the sacred grass.

sá mā́nuṣīṣu dūḷábho vikṣú prāvī́r ámartiyaḥ |
dūtó víśveṣãm bhuvat ||

2 May he the Immortal, Helper, bard to be deceived among mankind, Become the messenger of all.

sá sádma pári ṇīyate hótā mandró díviṣṭiṣu |
utá pótā ní ṣīdati ||

3 Around the altar is he led, welcome Chief Priest at solemn rites, Or as the Potar sits him down.

utá gnā́ agnír adhvará utó gr̥hápatir dáme |
utá brahmā́ ní ṣīdati ||

4 Agni in fire at sacrifice, and in the house as Lord thereof, And as a Brahman takes his seat.

véṣi hí adhvarīyatā́m havyā́ ca mā́nuṣāṇãm |
upavaktā́ jánānãm ||

5 Thou comest as the guide of folk who celebrate a sacrifice, And to oblations brought by men.

véṣī́d u asya dūtíyaṃ havyám mártasya vóḷhave |
yásya jújoṣo adhvarám ||

6 Thou servest as his messenger whose sacrifice thou lovest well, To bear the mortal's gifts to heaven.

asmā́kaṃ joṣi adhvarám asmā́kaṃ yajñám aṅgiraḥ |
asmā́kaṃ śr̥ṇudhī hávam ||

7 Accept our solemn rite; be pleased, Aṅgiras, with our sacrifice: Give ear and listen to our call.

pári te dūḷábho rátho asmā́m̐ aśnotu viśvátaḥ |
yéna rákṣasi dāśúṣaḥ ||

8 May thine inviolable car, wherewith thou guardest those who give, Come near to us from every side.
