6.14.1
a̱gnā yo martyo̱ duvo̱ dhiya̍ṁ ju̱joṣa̍ dhī̱tibhi̍ḥ |
bhasa̱n nu ṣa pra pū̱rvya iṣa̍ṁ vurī̱tāva̍se ||
WHOSO to Agni hath endeared his thought and service by his hymns, That mortal cats before the rest, and finds sufficiency of food.
6.14.2
a̱gnir id dhi prace̍tā a̱gnir ve̱dhasta̍ma̱ ṛṣi̍ḥ |
a̱gniṁ hotā̍ram īḻate ya̱jñeṣu̱ manu̍ṣo̱ viśa̍ḥ ||
Agni, in truth, is passing wise, most skilled in ordering, a Seer. At sacrifices Manus' sons glorify Agni as their Priest.
6.14.3
nānā̱ hy a1̱̍gne 'va̍se̱ spardha̍nte̱ rāyo̍ a̱ryaḥ |
tūrva̍nto̱ dasyu̍m ā̱yavo̍ vra̱taiḥ sīkṣa̍nto avra̱tam ||
The foeman's wealth in many a place, Agni, is emulous to help. Men fight the fiend, and seek by rites to overcome the riteless foe.
6.14.4
a̱gnir a̱psām ṛ̍tī̱ṣaha̍ṁ vī̱raṁ da̍dāti̱ satpa̍tim |
yasya̱ trasa̍nti̱ śava̍saḥ sa̱ṁcakṣi̱ śatra̍vo bhi̱yā ||
Agni bestows the hero chief, winner of waters, firm in fray. Soon as they look upon his might his enemies tremble in alarm.
6.14.5
a̱gnir hi vi̱dmanā̍ ni̱do de̱vo marta̍m uru̱ṣyati̍ |
sa̱hāvā̱ yasyāvṛ̍to ra̱yir vāje̱ṣv avṛ̍taḥ ||
For with his wisdom Agni, God, protects the mortal from reproach, Whose conquering wealth is never checked, is never checked in deeds of might.
6.14.6
acchā̍ no mitramaho deva de̱vān agne̱ voca̍ḥ suma̱tiṁ roda̍syoḥ |
vī̱hi sva̱stiṁ su̍kṣi̱tiṁ di̱vo nṝn dvi̱ṣo aṁhā̍ṁsi duri̱tā ta̍rema̱ tā ta̍rema̱ tavāva̍sā tarema ||
O Agni, God with Mitra's might call hither the favour of the Gods from earth and heaven. Bring weal from heaven that men may dwell securely. May we o'ercome the foe's malign oppressions, may we o'ercome them, through thy help o'ercome them.
