RV 5 3.1

त्वम् अग्ने वरुणो जायसे यत् त्वम् मित्रो भवसि यत् समिद्धः । त्वे विश्वे सहसस् पुत्र देवास् त्वम् इन्द्रो दाशुषे मर्त्याय

tvam agne varuṇo jāyase yat tvam mitro bhavasi yat samiddhaḥ | tve viśve sahasas putra devās tvam indro dāśuṣe martyāya

You, Agni, are born as Varuṇa; you become Mitra when you are kindled. In you, son of strength, are all the gods; you are Indra for the mortal who gives worship.

RV 5 3.2

त्वम् अर्यमा भवसि यत् कनीनाꣳ नाम स्वधावन् गुह्यम् बिभर्षि । अञ्जन्ति मित्रꣳ सुधितꣳ न गोभिर् यद् दम्पती समनसा कृणोषि

tvam aryamā bhavasi yat kanīnāṁ nāma svadhāvan guhyam bibharṣi | añjanti mitraṁ sudhitaṁ na gobhir yad dampatī samanasā kṛṇoṣi

You become Aryaman when you bear the secret name of the maidens, O you of independent power. They anoint (you as) Mitra, well-established, with cow-products, when you make husband and wife of one mind.

RV 5 3.3

For your glory the Maruts groom themselves, O Rudra, since your birth is dear and brilliant. Since Viṣṇu's highest step was set down, by that you guard the secret name of the cows.

RV 5 3.4

तव श्रिया सुदृशो देव देवाः पुरू दधाना अमृतꣳ सपन्त । होतारम् अग्निम् मनुषो नि षेदुर् दशस्यन्त उशिजः शꣳसम् आयोः

By your splendor, O god, the gods, fair to see, holding much, attend upon immortality. Men have seated Agni as hotṛ, the Uśij doing honor to the recitation of Āyu.

RV 5 3.5

न त्वद् धोता पूर्वो अग्ने यजीयान् न काव्यैः परो अस्ति स्वधावः । विशश् च यस्या अतिथिर् भवासि स यज्ञेन वनवद् देव मर्तान्

na tvad dhotā pūrvo agne yajīyān na kāvyaiḥ paro asti svadhāvaḥ | viśaś ca yasyā atithir bhavāsi sa yajñena vanavad deva martān

No hotṛ before you, Agni, sacrifices better, nor is any superior in poetic arts, O you of independent power. And the clan whose guest you become — that one, O god, shall by its sacrifice overcome mortals.

वयम् अग्ने वनुयाम त्वोता वसूयवो हविषा बुध्यमानाः । वयꣳ समर्ये विदथेष्व् अह्नाꣳ वयꣳ राया सहसस् पुत्र मर्तान्

vayam agne vanuyāma tvotā vasūyavo haviṣā budhyamānāḥ | vayaṁ samarye vidatheṣv ahnāṁ vayaṁ rāyā sahasas putra martān

May we, Agni, aided by you, seeking goods, overcome, waking with the oblation; may we (overcome) in the contest, in the assemblies of the days, may we by wealth (overcome) mortals, O son of strength.

RV 5 3.7

यो न आगो अभ्य् एनो भरात्य् अधीद् अघम् अघशꣳसे दधात । जही चिकित्वो अभिशस्तिम् एताम् अग्ने यो नो मर्चयति द्वयेन

yo na āgo abhy eno bharāty adhīd agham aghaśaṁse dadhāta | jahī cikitvo abhiśastim etām agne yo no marcayati dvayena

Whoever brings offense and sin upon us — lay that evil upon the evil-speaker. Strike down this curse, O discerning one, Agni — whoever harms us by double-dealing.

त्वाम् अस्या व्युषि देव पूर्वे दूतꣳ कृण्वाना अयजन्त हव्यैः । सꣳस्थे यद् अग्न ईयसे रयीणाꣳ देवो मर्तैर् वसुभिर् इध्यमानः

tvām asyā vyuṣi deva pūrve dūtaṁ kṛṇvānā ayajanta havyaiḥ | saṁsthe yad agna īyase rayīṇāṁ devo martair vasubhir idhyamānaḥ

You, O god, at the dawning of this (dawn) the ancients worshipped with oblations, making you their messenger, when, Agni, you go to the gathering-place of riches, a god kindled by mortals, by the good ones.

अव स्पृधि पितरꣳ योधि विद्वान् पुत्रो यस् ते सहसः सून ऊहे । कदा चिकित्वो अभि चक्षसे नो ऽग्ने कदाꣳ ऋतचिद् यातयासे

Strive against the father, fight him, you who know — you who are reckoned his son, O son of strength. When, O discerning one, will you look upon us? When, Agni, discerner of ṛta, will you set (us) in order?

भूरि नाम वन्दमानो दधाति पिता वसो यदि तज् जोषयासे । कुविद् देवस्य सहसा चकानः सुम्नम् अग्निर् वनते वावृधानः

bhūri nāma vandamāno dadhāti pitā vaso yadi taj joṣayāse | kuvid devasya sahasā cakānaḥ sumnam agnir vanate vāvṛdhānaḥ

The father, praising, bestows many a name, O Vasu, if you will take pleasure in that. Surely Agni, delighting in the god's might, growing strong, gains favor.

RV 5 3.11

त्वम् अङ्ग जरितारꣳ यविष्ठ विश्वान्य् अग्ने दुरिताति पर्षि । स्तेना अदृश्रन् रिपवो जनासो ऽज्ञातकेता वृजिना अभूवन्

You indeed, O youngest Agni, carry the singer across all hard passages. Thieves have shown themselves, deceiving folk; with intentions unrecognized they have turned crooked.

ime yāmāsas tvadrig abhūvan vasave vā tad id āgo avāci | nāhāyam agnir abhiśastaye no na rīṣate vāvṛdhānaḥ parā dāt

These journeyings have turned toward you; or else that very fault was confessed to the good one. This Agni, grown strong, will not hand us over to calumny, nor to one who would harm (us).
