AV 3 15.1

इन्द्रम् अहं वणिजं चोदयामि स न ऐतु पुरएता नो अस्तु । नुदन्न् अरातिं परिपन्थिनं मृगं स ईशानो धनदा अस्तु मह्यम्

indram ahaṃ vaṇijaṃ codayāmi sa na aitu puraetā no astu | nudann arātiṃ paripanthinaṃ mṛgaṃ sa īśāno dhanadā astu mahyam

Indra I urge on as the trader; may he come to us, may he be our forerunner; thrusting away the grudging one, the waylayer, the (wild) beast — may he, being master, be a giver of wealth to me.

With fuel, O Agni, making my request, with ghee I offer the oblation for vigour, for strength; so far as I am able, praising with the brahman, (I offer) this divine prayer for the winning of a hundred.

AV 3 15.4

इमाम् अग्ने शरणिं मीमृषो नो यम् अध्वानम् अगाम दूरम् । शुनं नो अस्तु प्रपणो विक्रयश् च प्रतिपणः फलिनं मा कृणोतु । इदं हव्यं संविदानौ जुषेथां शुनं नो अस्तु चरितम् उत्थितं च

imām agne śaraṇiṃ mīmṛṣo no yam adhvānam agāma dūram | śunaṃ no astu prapaṇo vikrayaś ca pratipaṇaḥ phalinaṃ mā kṛṇotu | idaṃ havyaṃ saṃvidānau juṣethāṃ śunaṃ no astu caritam utthitaṃ ca

Overlook for us this lapse, O Agni — the far road that we have gone. May our trading and selling be prosperous; may the barter in return make (it) fruitful for me. Do you two, being of one mind, enjoy this oblation; may our going about and our setting out be prosperous.

Through all days may we ever bring (offering) to you, as (fodder) to a horse that stands (at the stall), O Jātavedas. Rejoicing together with increase of wealth and with refreshment, may we, your neighbours, O Agni, not come to harm.
