Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 128

RV 1 128.1

अयꣳ जायत मनुषो धरीमणि होता यजिष्ठ उशिजाम् अनु व्रतम् अग्निः स्वम् अनु व्रतम् । विश्वश्रुष्टिः सखीयते रयिर् इव श्रवस्यते । अदब्धो होता नि षदद् इऴस् पदे परिवीत इऴस् पदे

ayaṁ jāyata manuṣo dharīmaṇi hotā yajiṣṭha uśijām anu vratam agniḥ svam anu vratam | viśvaśruṣṭiḥ sakhīyate rayir iva śravasyate | adabdho hotā ni ṣadad iḻas pade parivīta iḻas pade

He was born in the establishment of man, the hotṛ who sacrifices best, according to the vow of the Uśij, Agni according to his own vow; hearing all for him who seeks friendship, like wealth for him who seeks fame; the undeceivable hotṛ has sat down in the seat of Iḍā, wrapped about in the seat of Iḍā.

RV 1 128.2

तꣳ यज्ञसाधम् अपि वातयामस्य् ऋतस्य पथा नमसा हविष्मता देवताता हविष्मता । स न ऊर्जाम् उपाभृत्य् अया कृपा न जूर्यति । यम् मातरिश्वा मनवे परावतो देवम् भाः परावतः

taṁ yajñasādham api vātayāmasy ṛtasya pathā namasā haviṣmatā devatātā haviṣmatā | sa na ūrjām upābhṛty ayā kṛpā na jūryati | yam mātariśvā manave parāvato devam bhāḥ parāvataḥ

Him, the accomplisher of the sacrifice, we bring here by the path of ṛta with reverence accompanied by oblation, in the service of the gods accompanied by oblation. He does not grow old through this form of his, in bringing us strengths — the god whom Mātariśvan (brought) from afar for man, whom he brought from the far distance.

RV 1 128.3

एवेन सद्यः पर्य् एति पार्थिवम् मुहुर्गी रेतो वृषभः कनिक्रदद् दधद् रेतः कनिक्रदत् । शतꣳ चक्षाणो अक्षभिर् देवो वनेषु तुर्वणिः । सदो दधान उपरेषु सानुष्व् अग्निः परेषु सानुषु

evena sadyaḥ pary eti pārthivam muhurgī reto vṛṣabhaḥ kanikradad dadhad retaḥ kanikradat | śataṁ cakṣāṇo akṣabhir devo vaneṣu turvaṇiḥ | sado dadhāna upareṣu sānuṣv agniḥ pareṣu sānuṣu

By his own course he goes at once around the earthly (realm), the bull swallowing again and again(?) the seed, bellowing, placing seed, bellowing. Looking with a hundred eyes, the god victorious among the woods, Agni setting his seat upon the nearer ridges, upon the farther ridges.

RV 1 128.4

स सुक्रतुः पुरोहितो दमे-दमे ऽग्निर् यज्ञस्याध्वरस्य चेतति क्रत्वा यज्ञस्य चेतति । क्रत्वा वेधा इषूयते विश्वा जातानि पस्पशे । यतो घृतश्रीर् अतिथिर् अजायत वह्निर् वेधा अजायत

sa sukratuḥ purohito dame-dame 'gnir yajñasyādhvarasya cetati kratvā yajñasya cetati | kratvā vedhā iṣūyate viśvā jātāni paspaśe | yato ghṛtaśrīr atithir ajāyata vahnir vedhā ajāyata

He of good resolve, placed in front in house after house, Agni takes note of the sacrifice, of the adhvara, with his resolve he takes note of the sacrifice. With resolve, the ordainer, he has watched over all created things for the one who seeks(?). From him the ghee-adorned guest was born, the conveyer, the ordainer, was born.

RV 1 128.5

क्रत्वा यद् अस्य तविषीषु पृञ्चते ऽग्नेर् अवेण मरुताꣳ न भोज्येषिराय न भोज्या । स हि ष्मा दानम् इन्वति वसूनाꣳ च मज्मना । स नस् त्रासते दुरिताद् अभिह्रुतः शꣳसाद् अघाद् अभिह्रुतः

kratvā yad asya taviṣīṣu pṛñcate 'gner aveṇa marutāṁ na bhojyeṣirāya na bhojyā | sa hi ṣmā dānam invati vasūnāṁ ca majmanā | sa nas trāsate duritād abhihrutaḥ śaṁsād aghād abhihrutaḥ

When with resolve one mingles with his powers, through Agni's favour(?), as with the enjoyments of the Maruts, enjoyments for the eager one — for he indeed urges on the giving, and with the might of goods. He will protect us from evil passage, from crookedness, from wicked speech, from crookedness.

RV 1 128.6

विश्वो विहाया अरतिर् वसुर् दधे हस्ते दक्षिणे तरणिर् न शिश्रथच् छ्रवस्यया न शिश्रथत् । विश्वस्मा इद् इषुध्यते देवत्रा हव्यम् ओहिषे । विश्वस्मा इत् सुकृते वारम् ऋण्वत्य् अग्निर् द्वारा व्य् ऋण्वति

viśvo vihāyā aratir vasur dadhe haste dakṣiṇe taraṇir na śiśrathac chravasyayā na śiśrathat | viśvasmā id iṣudhyate devatrā havyam ohiṣe | viśvasmā it sukṛte vāram ṛṇvaty agnir dvārā vy ṛṇvati

The all-pervading, wide-reaching one, the steward, the good one, has taken (the offering) in his right hand; like one who carries across he would not slacken through desire for fame, he has not slackened. For everyone who prays he conveys the oblation to the gods. For every doer of good he opens what is desired, Agni opens the doors.

RV 1 128.7

स मानुषे वृजने शꣳतमो हितो३ ऽग्निर् यज्ञेषु जेन्यो न विश्पतिः प्रियो यज्ञेषु विश्पतिः । स हव्या मानुषाणाम् इऴा कृतानि पत्यते । स नस् त्रासते वरुणस्य धूर्तेर् महो देवस्य धूर्तेः

sa mānuṣe vṛjane śaṁtamo hito3 'gnir yajñeṣu jenyo na viśpatiḥ priyo yajñeṣu viśpatiḥ | sa havyā mānuṣāṇām iḻā kṛtāni patyate | sa nas trāsate varuṇasya dhūrter maho devasya dhūrteḥ

He, set in the human community, most beneficent, Agni in the sacrifices, like a clan-lord of one's own people, the dear clan-lord in the sacrifices — he is master of the oblations of men, of the things made with Iḍā. He will protect us from Varuṇa's injury, from the great god's injury.

RV 1 128.8

अग्निꣳ होतारम् ईऴते वसुधितिम् प्रियꣳ चेतिष्ठम् अरतिꣳ न्य् एरिरे हव्यवाहꣳ न्य् एरिरे । विश्वायुꣳ विश्ववेदसꣳ होतारꣳ यजतꣳ कविम् । देवासो रण्वम् अवसे वसूयवो गीर्भी रण्वꣳ वसूयवः

agniṁ hotāram īḻate vasudhitim priyaṁ cetiṣṭham aratiṁ ny erire havyavāhaṁ ny erire | viśvāyuṁ viśvavedasaṁ hotāraṁ yajataṁ kavim | devāso raṇvam avase vasūyavo gīrbhī raṇvaṁ vasūyavaḥ

They invoke Agni, the hotṛ, the placer of goods, the dear one, the most perceptive; they have installed the steward, they have installed the oblation-carrier. Him of all lifetimes, of all knowledge, the hotṛ, worthy of worship, the sage — the gods (installed) the delightful one for help, desiring goods, with songs the delightful one, desiring goods.
