RV 5 12.1

प्राग्नये बृहते यज्ञियाय ऋतस्य वृष्णे असुराय मन्म । घृतꣳ न यज्ञ आस्ये३ सुपूतꣳ गिरम् भरे वृषभाय प्रतीचीम्

prāgnaye bṛhate yajñiyāya ṛtasya vṛṣṇe asurāya manma | ghṛtaṁ na yajña āsye3 supūtaṁ giram bhare vṛṣabhāya pratīcīm

Forth to Agni, the lofty, the worthy of sacrifice, the bull of ṛta, the asura, (I bring) a thought; like ghee well purified in the mouth at the sacrifice, I bear a song turned toward the bull.

RV 5 12.2

ऋतꣳ चिकित्व ऋतम् इच् चिकिद्ध्य् ऋतस्य धारा अनु तृन्धि पूर्वीः । नाहꣳ यातुꣳ सहसा न द्वयेन ऋतꣳ सपाम्य् अरुषस्य वृष्णः

ṛtaṁ cikitva ṛtam ic cikiddhy ṛtasya dhārā anu tṛndhi pūrvīḥ | nāhaṁ yātuṁ sahasā na dvayena ṛtaṁ sapāmy aruṣasya vṛṣṇaḥ

O thou who knowest ṛta, take note of ṛta indeed; bore through the many streams of ṛta. I serve ṛta neither by sorcery nor by force nor by duplicity — (the ṛta) of the ruddy bull.

RV 5 12.3

कया नो अग्न ऋतयन्न् ऋतेन भुवो नवेदा उचथस्य नव्यः । वेदा मे देव ऋतुपा ऋतूनाꣳ नाहम् पतिꣳ सनितुर् अस्य रायः

kayā no agna ṛtayann ṛtena bhuvo navedā ucathasya navyaḥ | vedā me deva ṛtupā ṛtūnāṁ nāham patiṁ sanitur asya rāyaḥ

By what (help), O Agni, seeking ṛta with ṛta, wouldst thou be the one aware of our new utterance? The god knows for me, the protector of the seasons, (the knower) of the seasons; I do not (know) the lord of this wealth, of the winner.

RV 5 12.4

के ते अग्ने रिपवे बन्धनासः के पायवः सनिषन्त द्युमन्तः । के धासिम् अग्ने अनृतस्य पान्ति क आसतो वचसः सन्ति गोपाः

ke te agne ripave bandhanāsaḥ ke pāyavaḥ saniṣanta dyumantaḥ | ke dhāsim agne anṛtasya pānti ka āsato vacasaḥ santi gopāḥ

Who, O Agni, are the bonds for the deceiver? Which shining protectors will win (them)? Who, O Agni, guard the nourishment of untruth? Who are the guardians of false speech?

RV 5 12.5

सखायस् ते विषुणा अग्न एते शिवासः सन्तो अशिवा अभूवन् । अधूर्षत स्वयम् एते वचोभिर् ऋजूयते वृजिनानि ब्रुवन्तः

sakhāyas te viṣuṇā agna ete śivāsaḥ santo aśivā abhūvan | adhūrṣata svayam ete vacobhir ṛjūyate vṛjināni bruvantaḥ

These comrades of thine, O Agni, have turned away: being kindly, they have become unkindly. They have harmed themselves by their own words, speaking crooked things to the straightforward man.

RV 5 12.6

यस् ते अग्ने नमसा यज्ञम् ईट्ट ऋतꣳ स पात्य् अरुषस्य वृष्णः । तस्य क्षयः पृथुर् आ साधुर् एतु प्रसर्स्राणस्य नहुषस्य शेषः

yas te agne namasā yajñam īṭṭa ṛtaṁ sa pāty aruṣasya vṛṣṇaḥ | tasya kṣayaḥ pṛthur ā sādhur etu prasarsrāṇasya nahuṣasya śeṣaḥ

He who, O Agni, with reverence invokes for thee the sacrifice, he guards the ṛta of the ruddy bull. To him let a broad, prosperous dwelling come, (and) the offspring of Nahuṣa who spreads on and on.
