Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 127

RV 1 127.1

अग्निꣳ होतारम् मन्ये दास्वन्तꣳ वसुꣳ सूनुꣳ सहसो जातवेदसꣳ विप्रꣳ न जातवेदसम् । य ऊर्ध्वया स्वध्वरो देवो देवाच्या कृपा । घृतस्य विभ्राष्टिम् अनु वष्टि शोचिषाजुह्वानस्य सर्पिषः

agniṁ hotāram manye dāsvantaṁ vasuṁ sūnuṁ sahaso jātavedasaṁ vipraṁ na jātavedasam | ya ūrdhvayā svadhvaro devo devācyā kṛpā | ghṛtasya vibhrāṣṭim anu vaṣṭi śociṣājuhvānasya sarpiṣaḥ

Agni I hold to be the hotṛ, the giving one, the good one, the son of strength, knower of what is born, inspired as a knower of what is born; who, of good rite, a god, with his upward, god-directed form, with his flame longs after the flare of the ghee, of the poured butter.

RV 1 127.2

यजिष्ठꣳ त्वा यजमाना हुवेम ज्येष्ठम् अङ्गिरसाꣳ विप्र मन्मभिर् विप्रेभिः शुक्र मन्मभिः । परिज्मानम् इव द्याꣳ होतारꣳ चर्षणीनाम् । शोचिष्केशꣳ वृषणꣳ यम् इमा विशः प्रावन्तु जूतये विशः

yajiṣṭhaṁ tvā yajamānā huvema jyeṣṭham aṅgirasāṁ vipra manmabhir viprebhiḥ śukra manmabhiḥ | parijmānam iva dyāṁ hotāraṁ carṣaṇīnām | śociṣkeśaṁ vṛṣaṇaṁ yam imā viśaḥ prāvantu jūtaye viśaḥ

We, sacrificing, would call on you, the best sacrificer, the eldest of the Aṅgirases, O inspired one, with our thoughts, with the inspired ones, O bright one, with our thoughts — (you who are) like the encircling heaven, the hotṛ of the peoples, the flame-haired bull whom these clans — may the clans further him for speed.

RV 1 127.3

स हि पुरू चिद् ओजसा विरुक्मता दीद्यानो भवति द्रुहꣳतरः परशुर् न द्रुहꣳतरः । वीऴु चिद् यस्य समृतौ श्रुवद् वनेव यत् स्थिरम् । निःषहमाणो यमते नायते धन्वासहा नायते

sa hi purū cid ojasā virukmatā dīdyāno bhavati druhaṁtaraḥ paraśur na druhaṁtaraḥ | vīḻu cid yasya samṛtau śruvad vaneva yat sthiram | niḥṣahamāṇo yamate nāyate dhanvāsahā nāyate

For shining with his brilliant might he becomes the injurer of many, like an axe an injurer. Even what is hard, at his onset, crumbles, and what is firm, like trees. Overpowering, he holds his ground and does not give way; subduing with the bow, he does not give way.

RV 1 127.4

दृऴ्हा चिद् अस्मा अनु दुर् यथा विदे तेजिष्ठाभिर् अरणिभिर् दाष्ट्य् अवसे ऽग्नये दाष्ट्य् अवसे । प्र यः पुरूणि गाहते तक्षद् वनेव शोचिषा । स्थिरा चिद् अन्ना नि रिणात्य् ओजसा नि स्थिराणि चिद् ओजसा

dṛḻhā cid asmā anu dur yathā vide tejiṣṭhābhir araṇibhir dāṣṭy avase 'gnaye dāṣṭy avase | pra yaḥ purūṇi gāhate takṣad vaneva śociṣā | sthirā cid annā ni riṇāty ojasā ni sthirāṇi cid ojasā

Even hard things give way for him, as is known; with the sharpest kindling-sticks one gives to him for aid, gives to Agni for aid — he who plunges through many, hewing with his flame as through trees. Even firm foods he dissolves with his might, the firm ones with his might.

RV 1 127.5

तम् अस्य पृक्षम् उपरासु धीमहि नक्तꣳ यः सुदर्शतरो दिवातराद् अप्रायुषे दिवातरात् । आद् अस्यायुर् ग्रभणवद् वीऴु शर्म न सूनवे । भक्तम् अभक्तम् अवो व्यन्तो अजरा अग्नयो व्यन्तो अजराः

tam asya pṛkṣam uparāsu dhīmahi naktaṁ yaḥ sudarśataro divātarād aprāyuṣe divātarāt | ād asyāyur grabhaṇavad vīḻu śarma na sūnave | bhaktam abhaktam avo vyanto ajarā agnayo vyanto ajarāḥ

Let us set that refreshment of his in the later (nights) — he who by night is fairer to behold than by day, than by day, (set it) for unfailing life. Then his vital force is such as can be grasped, a firm shelter as for a son; the unaging fires, pursuing help both allotted and unallotted, the unaging ones pursuing (it).

RV 1 127.6

स हि शर्धो न मारुतꣳ तुविष्वणिर् अप्नस्वतीषूर्वरास्व् इष्टनिर् आर्तनास्व् इष्टनिः । आदद् धव्यान्य् आददिर् यज्ञस्य केतुर् अर्हणा । अध स्मास्य हर्षतो हृषीवतो विश्वे जुषन्त पन्थाꣳ नरः शुभे न पन्थाम्

sa hi śardho na mārutaṁ tuviṣvaṇir apnasvatīṣūrvarāsv iṣṭanir ārtanāsv iṣṭaniḥ | ādad dhavyāny ādadir yajñasya ketur arhaṇā | adha smāsya harṣato hṛṣīvato viśve juṣanta panthāṁ naraḥ śubhe na panthām

For he, loud-roaring like the troop of the Maruts, is the impeller in the fruitful fields, the impeller in the tilled(?) lands. He has taken the oblations, the taker, the banner of the sacrifice, by his worth. And when he is excited and bristling, all men take pleasure in his path, as in a path to splendour.

RV 1 127.7

द्विता यद् ईꣳ कीस्तासो अभिद्यवो नमस्यन्त उपवोचन्त भृगवो मथ्नन्तो दाशा भृगवः । अग्निर् ईशे वसूनाꣳ शुचिर् यो धर्णिर् एषाम् । प्रियाꣳ अपिधीꣳर् वनिषीष्ट मेधिर आ वनिषीष्ट मेधिरः

dvitā yad īṁ kīstāso abhidyavo namasyanta upavocanta bhṛgavo mathnanto dāśā bhṛgavaḥ | agnir īśe vasūnāṁ śucir yo dharṇir eṣām | priyām̐ apidhīm̐r vaniṣīṣṭa medhira ā vaniṣīṣṭa medhiraḥ

When of old the singers, turned towards heaven, doing homage, spoke to him — the Bhṛgus, churning, the worshipping Bhṛgus — Agni rules over the goods, he who, bright, is their sustainer: may the wise one win the dear coverings, may the wise one win (them).

RV 1 127.8

विश्वासाꣳ त्वा विशाम् पतिꣳ हवामहे सर्वासाꣳ समानꣳ दम्पतिम् भुजे सत्यगिर्वाहसम् भुजे । अतिथिम् मानुषाणाम् पितुर् न यस्यासया । अमी च विश्वे अमृतास आ वयो हव्या देवेष्व् आ वयः

viśvāsāṁ tvā viśām patiṁ havāmahe sarvāsāṁ samānaṁ dampatim bhuje satyagirvāhasam bhuje | atithim mānuṣāṇām pitur na yasyāsayā | amī ca viśve amṛtāsa ā vayo havyā deveṣv ā vayaḥ

We call upon you, the lord of all clans, the common house-lord of all, for our enjoyment, him whose praise-songs are true, for enjoyment; the guest of men, in whose mouth (the oblation is set) as in a father's. And all these immortals (are) vigour, the oblations among the gods (are) vigour.

RV 1 127.9

त्वम् अग्ने सहसा सहन्तमः शुष्मिन्तमो जायसे देवतातये रयिर् न देवतातये । शुष्मिन्तमो हि ते मदो द्युम्निन्तम उत क्रतुः । अध स्मा ते परि चरन्त्य् अजर श्रुष्टीवानो नाजर

tvam agne sahasā sahantamaḥ śuṣmintamo jāyase devatātaye rayir na devatātaye | śuṣmintamo hi te mado dyumnintama uta kratuḥ | adha smā te pari caranty ajara śruṣṭīvāno nājara

You, Agni, are born by force as the most overpowering, the most impetuous, for the service of the gods, like wealth for the service of the gods. For most impetuous is your rapture and most brilliant your resolve. And so they wait upon you, O unaging one, like obedient servants, O unaging one.

RV 1 127.10

प्र वो महे सहसा सहस्वत उषर्बुधे पशुषे नाग्नये स्तोमो बभूत्व् अग्नये । प्रति यद् ईꣳ हविष्मान् विश्वासु क्षासु जोगुवे । अग्रे रेभो न जरत ऋषूणाꣳ जूर्णिर् होत ऋषूणाम्

pra vo mahe sahasā sahasvata uṣarbudhe paśuṣe nāgnaye stomo babhūtv agnaye | prati yad īṁ haviṣmān viśvāsu kṣāsu joguve | agre rebho na jarata ṛṣūṇāṁ jūrṇir hota ṛṣūṇām

Let your praise go forth to the great one, mighty with force, waking at dawn, to Agni as to one who tends the cattle, to Agni — when the man with oblation calls him again and again in all dwelling-places; at the head he sings like a bard among the flames(?), the glowing hotṛ among the flames(?).

RV 1 127.11

स नो नेदिष्ठꣳ ददृशान आ भराग्ने देवेभिः सचनाः सुचेतुना महो रायः सुचेतुना । महि शविष्ठ नस् कृधि सꣳचक्षे भुजे अस्यै । महि स्तोतृभ्यो मघवन् सुवीर्यम् मथीर् उग्रो न शवसा

sa no nediṣṭhaṁ dadṛśāna ā bharāgne devebhiḥ sacanāḥ sucetunā maho rāyaḥ sucetunā | mahi śaviṣṭha nas kṛdhi saṁcakṣe bhuje asyai | mahi stotṛbhyo maghavan suvīryam mathīr ugro na śavasā

Bring to us, O Agni, appearing close at hand, in company with the gods, with good intent, great riches with good intent. Make (something) great for us, O mightiest, to behold, for this enjoyment; churn out great heroic strength for the praisers, O bounteous one, like a fierce one by your power.
