10.80.1
a̱gniḥ sapti̍ṁ vājambha̱raṁ da̍dāty a̱gnir vī̱raṁ śrutya̍ṁ karmani̱ḥṣṭhām |
a̱gnī roda̍sī̱ vi ca̍rat sama̱ñjann a̱gnir nārī̍ṁ vī̱raku̍kṣi̱m pura̍ṁdhim ||
AGNI bestows the fleet prize-winning courser: Agni, the hero famed and firm in duty. Agni pervades and decks the earth and heaven, and fills the fruitful dame who teems with heroes.
10.80.2
a̱gner apna̍saḥ sa̱mid a̍stu bha̱drāgnir ma̱hī roda̍sī̱ ā vi̍veśa |
a̱gnir eka̍ṁ codayat sa̱matsv a̱gnir vṛ̱trāṇi̍ dayate pu̱rūṇi̍ ||
Blest be the wood that feeds the active Agni: within the two great worlds hath Agni entered. Agni impels a single man to battle, and with him rends in pieces many a foeman.
10.80.3
a̱gnir ha̱ tyaṁ jara̍ta̱ḥ karṇa̍m āvā̱gnir a̱dbhyo nir a̍daha̱j jarū̍tham |
a̱gnir atri̍ṁ gha̱rma u̍ruṣyad a̱ntar a̱gnir nṛ̱medha̍m pra̱jayā̍sṛja̱t sam ||
Agni rejoiced the car of him who praised lim, and from the waters burnt away Jarûtha. Agni saved Atri in the fiery cavem, and made Nṛimedha rich with troops of children.
10.80.4
a̱gnir dā̱d dravi̍ṇaṁ vī̱rape̍śā a̱gnir ṛṣi̱ṁ yaḥ sa̱hasrā̍ sa̱noti̍ |
a̱gnir di̱vi ha̱vyam ā ta̍tānā̱gner dhāmā̍ni̱ vibhṛ̍tā puru̱trā ||
Agni hath granted wealth that decks the hero, and sent the sage who wins a thousand cattle. Agni hath made oblations rise to heaven: to every place are Agni's laws extended.
10.80.5
a̱gnim u̱kthair ṛṣa̍yo̱ vi hva̍yante̱ 'gniṁ naro̱ yāma̍ni bādhi̱tāsa̍ḥ |
a̱gniṁ vayo̍ a̱ntari̍kṣe̱ pata̍nto̱ 'gniḥ sa̱hasrā̱ pari̍ yāti̱ gonā̍m ||
With songs of praise the Ṛishis call on Agni; on Agni, heroes worsted in the foray. Birds flying in the region call on Agni around a thousand cattle Agni wanders.
10.80.6
a̱gniṁ viśa̍ īḻate̱ mānu̍ṣī̱r yā a̱gnim manu̍ṣo̱ nahu̍ṣo̱ vi jā̱tāḥ |
a̱gnir gāndha̍rvīm pa̱thyā̍m ṛ̱tasyā̱gner gavyū̍tir ghṛ̱ta ā niṣa̍ttā ||
Races of human birth pay Agni worship, men who have sprung from Nahus' line adore him. Stablished in holy oil is Agni's pasture, on the Gandharva path of Law and Order.
10.80.7
a̱gnaye̱ brahma̍ ṛ̱bhava̍s tatakṣur a̱gnim ma̱hām a̍vocāmā suvṛ̱ktim |
agne̱ prāva̍ jari̱tāra̍ṁ yavi̱ṣṭhāgne̱ mahi̱ dravi̍ṇa̱m ā ya̍jasva ||
The Ṛibhus fabricated prayer for Agni, and we with mighty hymns have called on Agni. Agni, Most Youthful God, protect the singer: win us by worship, Agni, great possessions.
