6.11.1
yaja̍sva hotar iṣi̱to yajī̍yā̱n agne̱ bādho̍ ma̱rutā̱ṁ na prayu̍kti |
ā no̍ mi̱trāvaru̍ṇā̱ nāsa̍tyā̱ dyāvā̍ ho̱trāya̍ pṛthi̱vī va̍vṛtyāḥ ||
EAGERLY Sacrifice thou, most skilful, Agni! Priest, pressing on as if the Maruts sent thee. To our oblation bring the two Nâsatyas, Mitra and Varuṇa and Earth and Heaven.
6.11.2
tvaṁ hotā̍ ma̱ndrata̍mo no a̱dhrug a̱ntar de̱vo vi̱dathā̱ martye̍ṣu |
pā̱va̱kayā̍ ju̱hvā̱3̱̍ vahni̍r ā̱sāgne̱ yaja̍sva ta̱nva1̱̍ṁ tava̱ svām ||
Thou art our guileless, most delightful Herald, the God, among mankind, of holy synods. A Priest with purifying tongue, O Agni, sacrifice with thy mouth to thine own body.
6.11.3
dhanyā̍ ci̱d dhi tve dhi̱ṣaṇā̱ vaṣṭi̱ pra de̱vāñ janma̍ gṛṇa̱te yaja̍dhyai |
vepi̍ṣṭho̱ aṅgi̍rasā̱ṁ yad dha̱ vipro̱ madhu̍ ccha̱ndo bhana̍ti re̱bha i̱ṣṭau ||
For even the blessed longing that is in thee would bring the Gods down to the singer's worship, When the Angirases' sagest Sage, the Poet, sings the sweet measure at the solemn service.
6.11.4
adi̍dyuta̱t sv apā̍ko vi̱bhāvāgne̱ yaja̍sva̱ roda̍sī urū̱cī |
ā̱yuṁ na yaṁ nama̍sā rā̱taha̍vyā a̱ñjanti̍ supra̱yasa̱m pañca̱ janā̍ḥ ||
Bright hath he beamed, the wise, the far-refulgent. Worship the two widespreading Worlds, O Agni, Whom as the Living One rich in oblations the Five Tribes, bringing gifts, adorn with homage.
6.11.5
vṛ̱ñje ha̱ yan nama̍sā ba̱rhir a̱gnāv ayā̍mi̱ srug ghṛ̱tava̍tī suvṛ̱ktiḥ |
amya̍kṣi̱ sadma̱ sada̍ne pṛthi̱vyā aśrā̍yi ya̱jñaḥ sūrye̱ na cakṣu̍ḥ ||
When I with reverence clip the grass for Agni, when the trimmed ladle, fullof oil, is lifted, Firm on the seat of earth is based the altar: eye-like, the sacrifice is directed Sun-ward.
6.11.6
da̱śa̱syā na̍ḥ purvaṇīka hotar de̱vebhi̍r agne a̱gnibhi̍r idhā̱naḥ |
rā̱yaḥ sū̍no sahaso vāvasā̱nā ati̍ srasema vṛ̱jana̱ṁ nāṁha̍ḥ ||
Enrich us, O thou Priest of many aspects, with the Gods, Agni, with thy fires, enkindled. O Son of Strength, clad in the robe of riches, may we escape from woe as from a prison.
