Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 58

RV 1 58.1

नू चित् सहोजा अमृतो नि तुन्दते होता यद् दूतो अभवद् विवस्वतः । वि साधिष्ठेभिः पथिभी रजो मम आ देवताता हविषा विवासति

nū cit sahojā amṛto ni tundate hotā yad dūto abhavad vivasvataḥ | vi sādhiṣṭhebhiḥ pathibhī rajo mama ā devatātā haviṣā vivāsati

Now indeed the immortal born of strength presses forward, when he became the hotṛ, the messenger of Vivasvat. With the straightest paths he has measured out the midspace; with the oblation he seeks (to win the gods) in the divine service.

आ स्वम् अद्म युवमानो अजरस् तृष्व् अविष्यन्न् अतसेषु तिष्ठति । अत्यो न पृष्ठम् प्रुषितस्य रोचते दिवो न सानु स्तनयन्न् अचिक्रदत्

ā svam adma yuvamāno ajaras tṛṣv aviṣyann ataseṣu tiṣṭhati | atyo na pṛṣṭham pruṣitasya rocate divo na sānu stanayann acikradat

Consuming his own food, ageless, greedily devouring, he stands among the dry brushwood. Like a racehorse's back the back of the besprinkled one shines; like the ridge of heaven he has roared, thundering.

वि वातजूतो अतसेषु तिष्ठते वृथा जुहूभिः सृण्या तुविष्वणिः । तृषु यद् अग्ने वनिनो वृषायसे कृष्णꣳ त एम रुशदूर्मे अजर

Driven by the wind he spreads out among the brushwood, freely with his tongues, with his sickle, loud-roaring. When, Agni, you rage like a bull greedily upon the trees, black is your course, O bright-waved, ageless one.

तपुर्जम्भो वन आ वातचोदितो यूथे न साह्वाꣳ अव वाति वꣳसगः । अभिव्रजन्न् अक्षितम् पाजसा रजः स्थातुश् चरथम् भयते पतत्रिणः

tapurjambho vana ā vātacodito yūthe na sāhvām̐ ava vāti vaṁsagaḥ | abhivrajann akṣitam pājasā rajaḥ sthātuś caratham bhayate patatriṇaḥ

With burning jaws, urged by the wind in the wood, he blows downward like a bull victorious in the herd. Advancing with his bulk over the unwasting midspace, what stands and what moves and the winged ones fear (him).

The Bhṛgus set you among men, like lovely wealth, easily invoked for the peoples — as hotṛ, Agni, as the choice guest, kindly like Mitra, for the heavenly race.

The hotṛ whom the seven ladles, the priests, choose as best sacrificer at the rites — Agni, the steward of all goods — him I honour with an offering; I approach (him) for a treasure.

Be a shield for the singer, O far-shining one; be shelter, O bounteous one, for the bounteous. Agni, guard the singer from distress. May he who is rich through insight come swiftly at dawn.
