RV 1 77.1

कथा दाशेमाग्नये कास्मै देवजुष्टोच्यते भामिने गीः । यो मर्त्येष्व् अमृत ऋतावा होता यजिष्ठ इत् कृणोति देवान्

kathā dāśemāgnaye kāsmai devajuṣṭocyate bhāmine gīḥ | yo martyeṣv amṛta ṛtāvā hotā yajiṣṭha it kṛṇoti devān

How shall we offer to Agni? What song, dear to the gods, is to be spoken for him, the radiant one — who, an immortal among mortals, possessing ṛta, the hotṛ, best sacrificer indeed, makes (the gods present)?

RV 1 77.2

यो अध्वरेषु शꣳतम ऋतावा होता तम् ऊ नमोभिर् आ कृणुध्वम् । अग्निर् यद् वेर् मर्ताय देवान् स चा बोधाति मनसा यजाति

He who at the rites is most beneficial, possessing ṛta, the hotṛ — him make (yours) with obeisances. When Agni pursues the gods for the mortal, let him take notice and sacrifice with (attentive) mind.

RV 1 77.3

स हि क्रतुः स मर्यः स साधुर् मित्रो न भूद् अद्भुतस्य रथीः । तम् मेधेषु प्रथमꣳ देवयन्तीर् विश उप ब्रुवते दस्मम् आरीः

sa hi kratuḥ sa maryaḥ sa sādhur mitro na bhūd adbhutasya rathīḥ | tam medheṣu prathamaṁ devayantīr viśa upa bruvate dasmam ārīḥ

For he is resolve, he is the young man, he is the one who reaches the goal; like Mitra he has become the charioteer of the wondrous one. Him, the wondrous-working one, the god-seeking noble clans address first at the sacrificial rites.

May Agni, most manly of men, destroyer of foes, come with his help to our songs and to our thought — and those bounteous ones who, mightiest with continuity, impelled by the prize, have enjoyed the hymn.

RV 1 77.5

एवाग्निर् गोतमेभिर् ऋतावा विप्रेभिर् अस्तोष्ट जातवेदाः । स एषु द्युम्नम् पीपयत् स वाजꣳ स पुष्टिꣳ याति जोषम् आ चिकित्वान्

evāgnir gotamebhir ṛtāvā viprebhir astoṣṭa jātavedāḥ | sa eṣu dyumnam pīpayat sa vājaṁ sa puṣṭiṁ yāti joṣam ā cikitvān

Thus has Agni, possessing ṛta, Jātavedas, been praised by the Gotamas, by the inspired ones. May he swell radiance among them, may he (swell) the prize; he attains prosperity, he attains their satisfaction, discerning.
