SV 2 5109.1

अग्निं वो देवमग्निभिः सजोषा यजिष्ठं दूतमध्वरे कृणुध्वं । यो मर्त्येषु निध्रुविरृतावा तपुर्मूर्धा घृतान्नः पावकः

agniṃ vo devamagnibhiḥ sajoṣā yajiṣṭhaṃ dūtamadhvare kṛṇudhvaṃ | yo martyeṣu nidhruvirṛtāvā tapurmūrdhā ghṛtānnaḥ pāvakaḥ

Make Agni, your god, in concord with the Agnis, your most sacrifice-worthy messenger at the rite — he who among mortals is firm-set, possessed of ṛta, hot-headed, ghee-eating, the purifier.

SV 2 5109.2

प्रोथदश्वो न यवसेऽविष्यन्यदा महः संवरणाद्व्यस्थात् । आदस्य वातो अनु वाति शोचिरध स्म ते व्रजनं कृष्णमस्ति

He snorts like a horse greedy for fodder, when he has stepped forth from the great enclosure; then the wind blows along after his flame, and indeed your track is black.

Like a steed neighing eager for the pasture, when he hath stepped forth from the great enclosure: Then the wind following blows upon his splendour, and, straight, the path is black which thou hast travelled.

SV 2 5109.3

उद्यस्य ते नवजातस्य वृष्णोऽग्ने चरन्त्यजरा इधानाः । अच्छा द्यामरुषो धूम एषि सं दूतो अग्न ईयसे हि देवान्

udyasya te navajātasya vṛṣṇo'gne carantyajarā idhānāḥ | acchā dyāmaruṣo dhūma eṣi saṃ dūto agna īyase hi devān

Upward move the ageless kindled (flames) of you, the newly born bull, O Agni; ruddy, you go as smoke toward heaven, for as messenger, Agni, you journey to the gods.

From thee, a bull but newly born, O Agni, the kindled everlasting flames rise upward. Aloft to heaven as ruddy smoke thou mountest: Agni, thou speedest to the Gods as envoy.
