Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 10 — Chapter 142

RV 10 142.1

अयम् अग्ने जरिता त्वे अभूद् अपि सहसः सूनो नह्य् अ१न्यद् अस्त्य् आप्यम् । भद्रꣳ हि शर्म त्रिवरूथम् अस्ति त आरे हिꣳसानाम् अप दिद्युम् आ कृधि

ayam agne jaritā tve abhūd api sahasaḥ sūno nahy a1nyad asty āpyam | bhadraṁ hi śarma trivarūtham asti ta āre hiṁsānām apa didyum ā kṛdhi

This singer, Agni, has come to be in you, O son of strength, for there is no other kinship (for him). For yours is an auspicious, threefold-protecting shelter: keep the missile of the injurers far away.

RV 10 142.2

प्रवत् ते अग्ने जनिमा पितूयतः साचीव विश्वा भुवना न्य् ऋञ्जसे । प्र सप्तयः प्र सनिषन्त नो धियः पुरश् चरन्ति पशुपा इव त्मना

pravat te agne janimā pitūyataḥ sācīva viśvā bhuvanā ny ṛñjase | pra saptayaḥ pra saniṣanta no dhiyaḥ puraś caranti paśupā iva tmanā

Downward-rushing is your birth, Agni, as you seek food; slantwise you bring all creatures under (you). Our coursers press forward, our thoughts press forward to win; they move out in front of themselves, like herdsmen.

RV 10 142.3

उत वा उ परि वृणक्षि बप्सद् बहोर् अग्न उलपस्य स्वधावः । उत खिल्या उर्वराणाम् भवन्ति मा ते हेतिꣳ तविषीꣳ चुक्रुधाम

uta vā u pari vṛṇakṣi bapsad bahor agna ulapasya svadhāvaḥ | uta khilyā urvarāṇām bhavanti mā te hetiṁ taviṣīṁ cukrudhāma

Or indeed you pass around (some), while devouring much of the ulapa-grass, O Agni of independent power; and the untilled strips of the fields come to be. May we not anger your mighty weapon.

RV 10 142.4

यद् उद्वतो निवतो यासि बप्सत् पृथग् एषि प्रगर्धिनीव सेना । यदा ते वातो अनुवाति शोचिर् वप्तेव श्मश्रु वपसि प्र भूम

yad udvato nivato yāsi bapsat pṛthag eṣi pragardhinīva senā | yadā te vāto anuvāti śocir vapteva śmaśru vapasi pra bhūma

When you go over the heights and the depths devouring, you go apart like a greedily onrushing army; when the wind blows after your flame, you shear the earth as a barber (shears) a beard.

RV 10 142.5

प्रत्य् अस्य श्रेणयो ददृश्र एकꣳ नियानम् बहवो रथासः । बाहू यद् अग्ने अनुमर्मृजानो न्यङ्ङ् उत्तानाम् अन्वेषि भूमिम्

praty asya śreṇayo dadṛśra ekaṁ niyānam bahavo rathāsaḥ | bāhū yad agne anumarmṛjāno nyaṅṅ uttānām anveṣi bhūmim

His lines have come into view: one is the descent, many the chariots. When, Agni, stroking (it) down with your arms, you go head-downward over the outstretched earth.

RV 10 142.6

उत् ते शुष्मा जिहताम् उत् ते अर्चिर् उत् ते अग्ने शशमानस्य वाजाः । उच् छ्वञ्चस्व नि नम वर्धमान आ त्वाद्य विश्वे वसवः सदन्तु

ut te śuṣmā jihatām ut te arcir ut te agne śaśamānasya vājāḥ | uc chvañcasva ni nama vardhamāna ā tvādya viśve vasavaḥ sadantu

Let your blasts rise up, up your flame, up, Agni, the prizes of you who have laboured (at the rite). Rise up, bow down, growing strong; let all the Vasus sit by you today.

अपाम् इदꣳ न्ययनꣳ समुद्रस्य निवेशनम् । अन्यꣳ कृणुष्वेतः पन्थाꣳ तेन याहि वशाꣳ अनु

apām idaṁ nyayanaṁ samudrasya niveśanam | anyaṁ kṛṇuṣvetaḥ panthāṁ tena yāhi vaśām̐ anu

This is the going-down of the waters, the settling-place of the sea. Make yourself another path from here; by that one go as you please.

आयने ते परायणे दूर्वा रोहन्तु पुष्पिणीः । ह्रदाश् च पुण्डरीकाणि समुद्रस्य गृहा इमे

āyane te parāyaṇe dūrvā rohantu puṣpiṇīḥ | hradāś ca puṇḍarīkāṇi samudrasya gṛhā ime

On your way in and your way out let flowering dūrvā-grasses grow up; and pools and lotuses — these are the houses of the sea.
