4,10 Agni

4.X Agni

ágne tám adyá áśvaṃ ná stómaiḥ |
krátuṃ ná bhadráṃ hr̥dispŕ̥śam r̥dhiyā́mā ta óhaiḥ ||

1 This day with praises, Agni, we bring thee that which thou lovest. Right judgment, like a horse, with our devotions.

ádhā hí agne krátor bhadrásya |
dákṣasya sādhóḥ rathī́r r̥tásya br̥ható babhū́tha ||

2 For thou hast ever been the Car-driver, Agni, of noble Strength, lofty sacrifice, and rightful judgment.

ebhír no arkaír bhávā no arvā́ṅ |
súvar ṇá jyótiḥ ágne víśvebhiḥ sumánā ánīkaiḥ ||

3 Through these our praises come thou to meet us, bright as the sunlight, O Agni, well disposed, with all thine aspects.

ābhíṣ ṭe adyá gīrbhír gr̥ṇánto |
ágne dā́śema prá te divó ná stanayanti śúṣmāḥ ||

4 Now may we serve thee singing these lauds this day to thee, Agni. Loud as the voice of Heaven thy blasts are roaring.

áva svā́diṣṭhā gne sáṃdr̥ṣṭir |
dā́ cid áhna dā́ cid aktóḥ riyé rukmó ná rocata upāké ||

5 Just at this time of the day and the night thy look is the sweetest: It shineth near us even as gold for glory.

ghr̥táṃ ná pūtáṃ tanū́r arepā́ḥ |
śúci híraṇyam tát te rukmó ná rocata svadhāvaḥ ||

6 Spotless thy body, brilliant as gold, like clarified butter: This gleams like gold on thee, O Self. dependent.

kr̥táṃ cid dhí ṣmā sánemi dvéṣo |
ágna inóṣi mártāt itthā́ yájamānād r̥tāvaḥ ||

7 All hate and mischief, yea, if committed, Agni, thou turnest, Holy One, from the man who rightly worships.

śivā́ naḥ sakhyā́ sántu bhrātrā́ |
ágne devéṣu yuṣmé sā́ no nā́bhiḥ sádane sásmin ū́dhan ||

8 Agni, with you Gods, prosperous be our friendships and kinships. Be this our bond here by this place, thine altar.
