Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 6 — Chapter 4

RV 6 4.1

यथा होतर् मनुषो देवताता यज्ञेभिः सूनो सहसो यजासि । एवा नो अद्य समना समानान् उशन्न् अग्न उशतो यक्षि देवान्

yathā hotar manuṣo devatātā yajñebhiḥ sūno sahaso yajāsi | evā no adya samanā samānān uśann agna uśato yakṣi devān

As, O hotṛ, you sacrifice with the offerings at the god-service of man, O son of strength, so today for us, in like manner, sacrifice, yourself eager, O Agni, to the eager gods, who are your like.

RV 6 4.2

स नो विभावा चक्षणिर् न वस्तोर् अग्निर् वन्दारु वेद्यश् चनो धात् । विश्वायुर् यो अमृतो मर्त्येषूषर्भुद् भूद् अतिथिर् जातवेदाः

sa no vibhāvā cakṣaṇir na vastor agnir vandāru vedyaś cano dhāt | viśvāyur yo amṛto martyeṣūṣarbhud bhūd atithir jātavedāḥ

So may Agni, far-shining, like the lighting-up of the dawn, worthy of praise, to be known, grant us favour — he who, of full lifespan, immortal among mortals, has become the dawn-waking guest, Jātavedas.

RV 6 4.3

द्यावो न यस्य पनयन्त्य् अभ्वम् भासाꣳसि वस्ते सूर्यो न शुक्रः । वि य इनोत्य् अजरः पावको ऽश्नस्य चिच् छिश्नथत् पूर्व्याणि

dyāvo na yasya panayanty abhvam bhāsāṁsi vaste sūryo na śukraḥ | vi ya inoty ajaraḥ pāvako 'śnasya cic chiśnathat pūrvyāṇi

Whose monstrous might the heavens marvel at; he wears his radiances, bright like the sun; who, unaging, purifying, drives forth — he shattered even the ancient (strongholds) of Aśna.

RV 6 4.4

वद्मा हि सूनो अस्य् अद्मसद्वा चक्रे अग्निर् जनुषाज्मान्नम् । स त्वꣳ न ऊर्जसन ऊर्जꣳ धा राजेव जेर् अवृके क्षेष्य् अन्तः

vadmā hi sūno asy admasadvā cakre agnir januṣājmānnam | sa tvaṁ na ūrjasana ūrjaṁ dhā rājeva jer avṛke kṣeṣy antaḥ

For you are a speaker, O son, sitting at the meal; Agni made food (for himself) at birth, by his course. So do you, winner of vigour, set vigour in us; conquer like a king — you dwell within, where no wolf comes.

RV 6 4.5

नितिक्ति यो वारणम् अन्नम् अत्ति वायुर् न राष्ट्र्य् अत्य् एत्य् अक्तून् । तुर्याम यस् त आदिशाम् अरातीर् अत्यो न ह्रुतः पततः परिह्रुत्

nitikti yo vāraṇam annam atti vāyur na rāṣṭry aty ety aktūn | turyāma yas ta ādiśām arātīr atyo na hrutaḥ patataḥ parihrut

He who eats keenly the resistant food; like Vāyu, ruling, he passes over the nights. May we overcome the hostile designs against you — like a steed that outruns crookedness, circumventing what flies (at it).

RV 6 4.6

आ सूर्यो न भानुमद्भिर् अर्कैर् अग्ने ततन्थ रोदसी वि भासा । चित्रो नयत् परि तमाꣳस्य् अक्तः शोचिषा पत्मन्न् औशिजो न दीयन्

ā sūryo na bhānumadbhir arkair agne tatantha rodasī vi bhāsā | citro nayat pari tamāṁsy aktaḥ śociṣā patmann auśijo na dīyan

Like the sun with its beaming rays, O Agni, you have stretched over the two world-halves with your brightness; bright, anointed, he leads (us) past the darknesses with his flame, flying on his course like the son of Uśij.

RV 6 4.7

त्वाꣳ हि मन्द्रतमम् अर्कशोकैर् ववृमहे महि नः श्रोष्य् अग्ने । इन्द्रꣳ न त्वा शवसा देवता वायुम् पृणन्ति राधसा नृतमाः

tvāṁ hi mandratamam arkaśokair vavṛmahe mahi naḥ śroṣy agne | indraṁ na tvā śavasā devatā vāyum pṛṇanti rādhasā nṛtamāḥ

For we have chosen you, most gladdening, with the blazings of our chants: hear our great (call), O Agni. The most manly ones fill you with power as (they fill) Indra, with bounty as Vāyu, among the godhead.

RV 6 4.8

नू नो अग्ने ऽवृकेभिः स्वस्ति वेषि रायः पथिभिः पर्ष्य् अꣳहः । ता सूरिभ्यो गृणते रासि सुम्नम् मदेम शतहिमाः सुवीराः

nū no agne 'vṛkebhiḥ svasti veṣi rāyaḥ pathibhiḥ parṣy aṁhaḥ | tā sūribhyo gṛṇate rāsi sumnam madema śatahimāḥ suvīrāḥ

Now, O Agni, seek well-being for us by paths where no wolf comes; carry us across distress by the paths of riches. Grant these favours to the patrons and to the singer; may we, with good heroes, rejoice a hundred winters.
