3.22.1
a̱yaṁ so a̱gnir yasmi̱n soma̱m indra̍ḥ su̱taṁ da̱dhe ja̱ṭhare̍ vāvaśā̱naḥ |
sa̱ha̱sriṇa̱ṁ vāja̱m atya̱ṁ na sapti̍ṁ sasa̱vān san stū̍yase jātavedaḥ ||
THIS is that Agni whence the longing Indra took the pressed Soma deep within his body. Winner of spoils in thousands, like a courser, with praise art thou exalted, Jâtavedas.
3.22.2
agne̱ yat te̍ di̱vi varca̍ḥ pṛthi̱vyāṁ yad oṣa̍dhīṣv a̱psv ā ya̍jatra |
yenā̱ntari̍kṣam u̱rv ā̍ta̱tantha̍ tve̱ṣaḥ sa bhā̱nur a̍rṇa̱vo nṛ̱cakṣā̍ḥ ||
That light of thine in heaven and earth, O Agni, in plants, O Holy One, and in the waters, Wherewith thou hast spread wide the air's mid-region-bright is that splendour, wavy, manbeholding.
3.22.3
agne̍ di̱vo arṇa̱m acchā̍ jigā̱sy acchā̍ de̱vām̐ ū̍ciṣe̱ dhiṣṇyā̱ ye |
yā ro̍ca̱ne pa̱rastā̱t sūrya̍sya̱ yāś cā̱vastā̍d upa̱tiṣṭha̍nta̱ āpa̍ḥ ||
O Agni, to the sea of heaven thou goest: thou hast called hither Gods beheld in spirit. The waters, too, come hither, those up yonder in the Sun's realm of light, and those beneath it.
3.22.4
pu̱rī̱ṣyā̍so a̱gnaya̍ḥ prāva̱ṇebhi̍ḥ sa̱joṣa̍saḥ |
ju̱ṣantā̍ṁ ya̱jñam a̱druho̍ 'namī̱vā iṣo̍ ma̱hīḥ ||
Let fires that dwell in mist, combined with those that have their home in floods, Guileless accept our sacrifice, great viands free from all disease.
3.22.5
iḻā̍m agne puru̱daṁsa̍ṁ sa̱niṁ goḥ śa̍śvatta̱maṁ hava̍mānāya sādha |
syān na̍ḥ sū̱nus tana̍yo vi̱jāvāgne̱ sā te̍ suma̱tir bhū̍tv a̱sme ||
Agni, as holy food to thine invoker give wealth in cattle, lasting, rich in marvels. To us be born a son and spreading offspring. Agni, be this thy gracious will to us-ward.
