SV 1 1208.1

अबोध्यग्निः समिधा जनानां प्रति धेनुमिवायतीमुषासं । यह्वा इव प्र वयामुज्जिहानाः प्र भानवः सस्रते नाकमच्छ

abodhyagniḥ samidhā janānāṃ prati dhenumivāyatīmuṣāsaṃ | yahvā iva pra vayāmujjihānāḥ pra bhānavaḥ sasrate nākamaccha

Agni has awakened by the kindling-wood of men, facing the Dawn who comes like a milk-cow. Like young (trees) shooting up into a branch, his rays have streamed forth toward the vault.

प्र भूर्जयन्तं महां विपोधां मूरैरमूरं पुरां दर्माणम्। नयन्तं गीर्भिर्वना धियं धा हरिश्मश्रुं न वर्मणा धनर्चिम्

(I sing) forth the greatly conquering one, the great sustainer of inspired words, undeluded among the deluded, the breaker of strongholds, who leads the woods with songs, holding thought — like a gold-bearded one, flame-bright with his armour.

One (form) of yours is bright, another of yours is worthy of worship; you are like Heaven with his two days of unlike shape. For you aid all magic arts, O self-ruling one; may your gift here be auspicious, O Pūṣan.

O Agni, accomplish for him who calls upon (you) refreshment of many deeds, the gaining of cattle, most constant. May there be for us a son, an offspring, one who propagates the line; O Agni, may that favour of yours be ours.

Forth (has come) the hotṛ, born great, knower of the clouds, sitting among men — he has taken his seat at the turning of the waters; he who, being set, bestowed vital powers at the pressing, the giver of goods to the worshipper, the guardian of bodies.

(I praise) forth the sovereign, the lauded one of the Asura, the male of the settled peoples, him who is to be gladdened; as (one praises) the deeds of mighty Indra — praising, with praising doors, let (my song) desire (him).

Jātavedas, laid down within the two fire-sticks, like an embryo well carried by pregnant women — Agni, to be invoked day after day by wakeful men who bring oblations.

SV 1 1208.8

सनादग्ने मृणसि यातुधानान्न त्वा रक्षांसि पृतनासु जिग्युः । अनु दह सहमूरान्कयादो मा ते हेत्या मुक्षत दैव्यायाः

sanādagne mṛṇasi yātudhānānna tvā rakṣāṃsi pṛtanāsu jigyuḥ | anu daha sahamūrānkayādo mā te hetyā mukṣata daivyāyāḥ

From of old, Agni, you crush the yātudhānas; the rakṣases have never conquered you in battles. Burn after (them), the flesh-eaters, root and all; let them not slip free of your divine weapon.
