Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 7 — Chapter 13

RV 7 13.1

प्राग्नये विश्वशुचे धियꣳधे ऽसुरघ्ने मन्म धीतिम् भरध्वम् । भरे हविर् न बर्हिषि प्रीणानो वैश्वानराय यतये मतीनाम्

prāgnaye viśvaśuce dhiyaṁdhe 'suraghne manma dhītim bharadhvam | bhare havir na barhiṣi prīṇāno vaiśvānarāya yataye matīnām

Bring forth a thought, a vision, to Agni who purifies all, who holds insight, who slays the asura; being gladdened, I bring (it) as an oblation upon the barhis, to Vaiśvānara, the marshaller of thoughts.

BRING song and hymn to Agni, Asura-slayer, enlightener of all and thought-bestower. Like an oblation on the grass, to please him, I bring this to Vaiṣvânara, hymn-inspirer.

RV 7 13.2

त्वम् अग्ने शोचिषा शोशुचान आ रोदसी अपृणा जायमानः । त्वꣳ देवाꣳ अभिशस्तेर् अमुञ्चो वैश्वानर जातवेदो महित्वा

tvam agne śociṣā śośucāna ā rodasī apṛṇā jāyamānaḥ | tvaṁ devām̐ abhiśaster amuñco vaiśvānara jātavedo mahitvā

You, Agni, blazing with your flame, filled the two worlds as you were being born; you released the gods from calumny, O Vaiśvānara Jātavedas, by your greatness.

Thou with thy flame, O Agni, brightly glowing, hast at thy birth filled full the earth and heaven. TIOU with thy might, Vaiṣvânara Jâtavedas, settest the Gods free frodi the curse that bound them.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 7 13.3

जातो यद् अग्ने भुवना व्य् अख्यः पशून् न गोपा इर्यः परिज्मा । वैश्वानर ब्रह्मणे विन्द गातुꣳ यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः

jāto yad agne bhuvanā vy akhyaḥ paśūn na gopā iryaḥ parijmā | vaiśvānara brahmaṇe vinda gātuṁ yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ

When, born, O Agni, you surveyed the creatures, like a herdsman his cattle, moving, roaming about — O Vaiśvānara, find a way for the sacred word. Do you protect us always with your blessings.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Agni, when, born thou lookedst on all creatures, like a brisk herdsman moving round his cattle. The path to prayer, Vaiṣvânara, thou foundest. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
