1.77.1
ka̱thā dā̍śemā̱gnaye̱ kāsmai̍ de̱vaju̍ṣṭocyate bhā̱mine̱ gīḥ |
yo martye̍ṣv a̱mṛta̍ ṛ̱tāvā̱ hotā̱ yaji̍ṣṭha̱ it kṛ̱ṇoti̍ de̱vān ||
How shall we pay oblation unto Agni? What hymn, Godloved, is said to him refulgent? Who, deathless, true to Law, mid men a herald, bringeth the Gods as best of sacrificers?
1.77.2
yo a̍dhva̱reṣu̱ śaṁta̍ma ṛ̱tāvā̱ hotā̱ tam ū̱ namo̍bhi̱r ā kṛ̍ṇudhvam |
a̱gnir yad ver martā̍ya de̱vān sa cā̱ bodhā̍ti̱ mana̍sā yajāti ||
Bring him with reverence hither, most propitious in sacrifices, true to Law, the herald; For Agni, when he seeks the Gods for mortals, knows them full well and worships them in spirit.
1.77.3
sa hi kratu̱ḥ sa marya̱ḥ sa sā̱dhur mi̱tro na bhū̱d adbhu̍tasya ra̱thīḥ |
tam medhe̍ṣu pratha̱maṁ de̍va̱yantī̱r viśa̱ upa̍ bruvate da̱smam ārī̍ḥ ||
For he is mental power, a man, and perfect; he is the bringer, friend-,like, of the wondrous. The pious Aryan tribes at sacrifices address them first to him who doeth marvels.
1.77.4
sa no̍ nṛ̱ṇāṁ nṛta̍mo ri̱śādā̍ a̱gnir giro 'va̍sā vetu dhī̱tim |
tanā̍ ca̱ ye ma̱ghavā̍na̱ḥ śavi̍ṣṭhā̱ vāja̍prasūtā i̱ṣaya̍nta̱ manma̍ ||
May Agni, foe-destroyer, manliest Hero, accept with love our hymns and our devotion. So may the liberal lords whose strength is strongest, urged by their riches, stir our thoughts with vigour.
1.77.5
e̱vāgnir gota̍mebhir ṛ̱tāvā̱ vipre̍bhir astoṣṭa jā̱tave̍dāḥ |
sa e̍ṣu dyu̱mnam pī̍paya̱t sa vāja̱ṁ sa pu̱ṣṭiṁ yā̍ti̱ joṣa̱m ā ci̍ki̱tvān ||
Thus Agni Jâtavedas, true to Order, hath by the priestly Gotamas been lauded. May he augment in them splendour and vigour: observant, as he lists, he gathers increase.
