Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 HE hath sent forth, bright, radiant, and refulgent, like the Dawn's Lover, his far-spreading lustre. Pure in his splendour shines the golden Hero: our longing thoughts hath he aroused and wakened.

súvar ṇá vástor uṣásām aroci yajñáṃ tanvānā́ uśíjo ná mánma |
agnír jánmāni devá ā́ ví vidvā́n dravád dūtó devayā́vā vániṣṭhaḥ ||

2 He, like the Sun, hath shone while Morn is breaking, and priests who weave the sacrifice sing praises, Agni, the God, who knows their generations and visits Gods, most bounteous, rapid envoy.

áchā gíro matáyo devayántīr agníṃ yanti dráviṇam bhíkṣamāṇāḥ |
susaṃdŕ̥śaṃ suprátīkaṃ suáñcaṃ havyavā́ham aratím mā́nuṣāṇām ||

3 Our songs and holy hymns go forth to Agni, seeking the God and asking him for riches, Him fair to see, of goodly aspect, mighty, men's messenger who carries their oblations.

índraṃ no agne vásubhiḥ sajóṣā rudráṃ rudrébhir ā́ vahā br̥hántam |
ādityébhir áditiṃ viśvájanyām bŕ̥haspátim ŕ̥kvabhir viśvávāram ||

4 joined with the Vasus, Agni, bring thou Indra bring hither mighty Rudra with the Rudras, Aditi good to all men with Ādityas, Bṛhaspati All-bounteous, with the Singers.

mandráṃ hótāram uśíjo yáviṣṭham agníṃ víśa īḷate adhvaréṣu |
sá hí kṣápāvām̐ ábhavad rayīṇā́m átandro dūtó yajáthāya devā́n ||

5 Men eagerly implore at sacrifices Agni, Most Youthful God, the joyous Herald. For he is Lord and Ruler over riches, and for Gods’ worship an unwearied envoy.
