RV 1 143.1

प्र तव्यसीꣳ नव्यसीꣳ धीतिम् अग्नये वाचो मतिꣳ सहसः सूनवे भरे । अपाꣳ नपाद् यो वसुभिः सह प्रियो होता पृथिव्याꣳ न्य् असीदद् ऋत्वियः

pra tavyasīṁ navyasīṁ dhītim agnaye vāco matiṁ sahasaḥ sūnave bhare | apāṁ napād yo vasubhiḥ saha priyo hotā pṛthivyāṁ ny asīdad ṛtviyaḥ

I bring forth to Agni a stronger, newer thought, a thought of speech to the son of strength—(to him) who, Child of the Waters, dear, together with the Vasus, sat down as hotṛ upon the earth in due season.

स जायमानः परमे व्योमन्य् आविर् अग्निर् अभवन् मातरिश्वने । अस्य क्रत्वा समिधानस्य मज्मना प्र द्यावा शोचिः पृथिवी अरोचयत्

RV 1 143.3

अस्य त्वेषा अजरा अस्य भानवः सुसꣳदृशः सुप्रतीकस्य सुद्युतः । भात्वक्षसो अत्य् अक्तुर् न सिन्धवो ऽग्ने रेजन्ते अससन्तो अजराः

asya tveṣā ajarā asya bhānavaḥ susaṁdṛśaḥ supratīkasya sudyutaḥ | bhātvakṣaso aty aktur na sindhavo 'gne rejante asasanto ajarāḥ

His rays are flashing and unaging—his, whose front is fair, fair to look on, brightly shining—with radiance for their strength, like rivers (rushing) past the night; O Agni, they quiver, never sleeping, never aging.

यम् एरिरे भृगवो विश्ववेदसꣳ नाभा पृथिव्या भुवनस्य मज्मना । अग्निꣳ तꣳ गीर्भिर् हिनुहि स्व आ दमे य एको वस्वो वरुणो न राजति

yam erire bhṛgavo viśvavedasaṁ nābhā pṛthivyā bhuvanasya majmanā | agniṁ taṁ gīrbhir hinuhi sva ā dame ya eko vasvo varuṇo na rājati

Him whom the Bhṛgus set in motion, the all-knowing, at the navel of the earth, by the greatness of the world—urge that Agni on with songs in your own house, who alone rules over wealth like Varuṇa.

RV 1 143.5

न यो वराय मरुताम् इव स्वनः सेनेव सृष्टा दिव्या यथाशनिः । अग्निर् जम्भैस् तिगितैर् अत्ति भर्वति योधो न शत्रून् स वना न्य् ऋञ्जते

na yo varāya marutām iva svanaḥ seneva sṛṣṭā divyā yathāśaniḥ | agnir jambhais tigitair atti bharvati yodho na śatrūn sa vanā ny ṛñjate

He who is not (to be checked) at will—like the roar of the Maruts, like an army let loose, like the bolt from heaven—Agni eats with sharpened fangs, he chews; like a warrior (subduing) foes, he bends the woods down.

RV 1 143.6

कुविन् नो अग्निर् उचथस्य वीर् असद् वसुष् कुविद् वसुभिः कामम् आवरत् । चोदः कुवित् तुतुज्यात् सातये धियः शुचिप्रतीकꣳ तम् अया धिया गृणे

kuvin no agnir ucathasya vīr asad vasuṣ kuvid vasubhiḥ kāmam āvarat | codaḥ kuvit tutujyāt sātaye dhiyaḥ śucipratīkaṁ tam ayā dhiyā gṛṇe

Will Agni indeed be the pursuer of our song of praise? Will the good one, with goods, bring (us) our desire? Will the impeller indeed speed our thoughts to the winning? Him of the bright face I sing with this thought.

घृतप्रतीकꣳ व ऋतस्य धूर्षदम् अग्निम् मित्रꣳ न समिधान ऋञ्जते । इन्धानो अक्रो विदथेषु दीद्यच् छुक्रवर्णाम् उद् उ नो यꣳसते धियम्

ghṛtapratīkaṁ va ṛtasya dhūrṣadam agnim mitraṁ na samidhāna ṛñjate | indhāno akro vidatheṣu dīdyac chukravarṇām ud u no yaṁsate dhiyam

Him whose face is of ghee, seated at the pole of ṛta — your Agni — the kindler wins over, as (one wins) a friend; kindling him, the driving one (akra), shining in the ritual assemblies, he will raise up our bright-hued thought.

अप्रयुच्छन्न् अप्रयुच्छद्भिर् अग्ने शिवेभिर् नः पायुभिः पाहि शग्मैः । अदब्धेभिर् अदृपितेभिर् इष्टे ऽनिमिषद्भिः परि पाहि नो जाः

aprayucchann aprayucchadbhir agne śivebhir naḥ pāyubhiḥ pāhi śagmaiḥ | adabdhebhir adṛpitebhir iṣṭe 'nimiṣadbhiḥ pari pāhi no jāḥ

Not neglecting, O Agni, with your unneglecting, kindly, effective protections guard us; with the undeceived, unbewildered, unblinking ones, O sought one, guard our offspring all around.
