Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 LET Brahmans and Aṅgirases come forward, and let the roar of cloudy heaven surround us. Loud low the Milch-kine swimming in the waters: set be the stones that grace our holy service.

sugás te agne sánavitto ádhvā yukṣvā́ suté haríto rohítaś ca |
yé vā sádmann aruṣā́ vīravā́ho huvé devā́nāṃ jánimāni sattáḥ ||

2 Fair, Agni, is thy long-known path to travel: yoke for the juice tfiy bay, thy ruddy horses, Or red steeds, Hero-bearing, for the chamber. Seated, I call the Deities' generations.

sám u vo yajñám mahayan námobhiḥ prá hótā mandró ririca upāké |
yájasva sú puruaṇīka devā́n ā́ yajñíyām arámatiṃ vavr̥tyāḥ ||

3 They glorify your sacrifice with worship, yet the glad Priest near them is left unequalled. Bring the Gods hither, thou of many aspects: turn hitherward Aramati the Holy.

yadā́ vīrásya reváto duroṇé siyonaśī́r átithir ācíketat |
súprīto agníḥ súdhito dáma ā́ sá viśé dāti vā́riyam íyatyai ||

4 What time the Guest hath made himself apparent, at ease reclining in the rich man's dwelling, Agni, well-pleased, well-placed within the chamber gives to a house like this wealth worth the choosing.

imáṃ no agne adhvaráṃ juṣasva marútsu índre yaśásaṃ kr̥dhī naḥ |
ā́ náktā barhíḥ sadatām uṣā́sā uśántā mitrā́váruṇā yajehá ||

5 Accept this sacrifice of ours, O Agni; glorify it with Indra and the Maruts. Here on our grass let Night and Dawn be seated: bring longing Varuṇa and Mitra hither.

evá agníṃ sahasíyaṃ vásiṣṭho rāyáskāmo viśvápsniyasya staut |
íṣaṃ rayím paprathad vā́jam asmé yūyám pāta suastíbhiḥ sádā naḥ ||

6 Thus hath Vasiṣṭha praised victorious Agni, yearning for wealth that giveth all subsistence. May he bestow on us food, strength, and riches. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
