5,19 Agni

5.XIX Agni

abhy àvasthā́ḥ prá jāyante prá vavrér vavríś ciketa |
upásthe mātúr ví caṣṭe ||

1 ONE state begets another state: husk is made visible from husk: Within his Mother's side he speaks.

juhuré ví citáyanto ánimiṣaṃ nr̥mṇám pānti |
ā́ dr̥̄ḷhā́m+ púraṃ viviśuḥ ||

2 Discerning, have they offered gifts: they guard the strength that never wastes. To a strong fort have they pressed in.

ā́ śvaitreyásya jantávo dyumád vardhanta kr̥ṣṭáyaḥ |
niṣkágrīvo br̥háduktha enā́ mádhvā ná vājayúḥ ||

3 Śvaitreya's people, all his men, have gloriously increased in might. A gold chain Bṛhaduktha wears, as, through this Soma, seeking spoil.

priyáṃ dugdháṃ ná kā́miyam ájāmi jāmiyóḥ sácā |
gharmó ná vā́jajaṭharo ádabdhaḥ śáśvato dábhaḥ ||

4 I bring, as ’twere, the longed-for milk, the dear milk of the Sister-Pair. Like to a caldron filled with food is he, unconquered, conquering all.

krī́ḷan no raśma ā́ bhuvaḥ sám bhásmanā vāyúnā vévidānaḥ |
tā́ asya san dhr̥ṣájo ná tigmā́ḥ súsaṃśitā vakṣíyo vakṣaṇesthā́ḥ ||

5 Beam of light, come to us in sportive fashion, finding thyself close to the wind that fans thee. These flames of his are wasting flames, like arrows keen-pointed, sharpened, on his breast.
