sáṃ divyéna dīdihi rocanéna víśvā ā́ māhi pradíśaś cátasraḥ ||1||

Let the summers (sámā), O Agni, the seasons, increase thee, the years, the seers, what things are true; shine thou with the heavenly bright space (rocaná); illuminate (ā-bhā) all the four directions.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)

2.6.2

sáṃ cedhyásvāgne prá ca vardhayemám úc ca tiṣṭha mahaté sáubhagāya |
mā́ te riṣann upasattā́ro agne brahmā́ṇas te yaśásaḥ santu mā́nyé ||2||

Both do thou become kindled, Agni, and do thou increase this man, and arise unto great good fortune; let not thine attendants (upasattár) be harmed, O Agni; be thy worshipers (brahmán) glorious, not others.

tvā́m agne vr̥ṇate brāhmaṇā́ imé śivó agne saṃváraṇe bhavā naḥ |
sapatnahā́gne abhimātijíd bhava své gáye jāgr̥hy áprayuchan ||3||

Thee, O Agni, do these Brahmans choose; be propitious to us, O Agni, in the [sacrificial] enclosure (? saṁváraṇa); rival-slayer, Agni, conqueror of hostile plotters, be thou; watch unremitting over thine own household.

sajātā́nāṃ madhyameṣṭhā́ rā́jñām agne vihávyo dīdihīhá ||4||

Take hold of thine own dominion (kṣatrá), Agni; with [thy] friend, Agni, strive (yat) in friendly wise; [as one] of midmost station among [his] fellows (sajātá), [as one] to be severally invoked of kings, Agni, shine thou here.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)

víśvā hy àgne duritā́ tára tvám áthāsmábhyaṃ sahávīraṃ rayíṃ dāḥ ||5||

Over enviers, over delinquents, over the thoughtless, over haters,—verily all difficult things, O Agni, do thou cross; then mayest thou give us wealth accompanied with heroes.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
