7.42.1

pra bra̱hmāṇo̱ aṅgi̍raso nakṣanta̱ pra kra̍nda̱nur na̍bha̱nya̍sya vetu |
pra dhe̱nava̍ uda̱pruto̍ navanta yu̱jyātā̱m adrī̍ adhva̱rasya̱ peśa̍ḥ ||

LET Brahmans and Angirases come forward, and let the roar of cloudy heaven surround us. Loud low the Milch-kine swimming in the waters: set be the stones that grace our holy service.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

7.42.2

su̱gas te̍ agne̱ sana̍vitto̱ adhvā̍ yu̱kṣvā su̱te ha̱rito̍ ro̱hita̍ś ca |
ye vā̱ sadma̍nn aru̱ṣā vī̍ra̱vāho̍ hu̱ve de̱vānā̱ṁ jani̍māni sa̱ttaḥ ||

Fair, Agni, is thy long-known path to travel: yoke for the juice tfiy bay, thy ruddy horses, Or red steeds, Hero-bearing, for the chamber. Seated, I call the Deities' generations.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

7.42.3

sam u̍ vo ya̱jñam ma̍haya̱n namo̍bhi̱ḥ pra hotā̍ ma̱ndro ri̍rica upā̱ke |

They glorify your sacrifice with worship, yet the glad Priest near them is left unequalled. Bring the Gods hither, thou of many aspects: turn hitherward Aramati the Holy.

suprī̍to a̱gniḥ sudhi̍to̱ dama̱ ā sa vi̱śe dā̍ti̱ vārya̱m iya̍tyai ||

What time the Guest hath made himself apparent, at ease reclining in the rich man's dwelling, Agni, well-pleased, well-placed within the chamber gives to a house like this wealth worth the choosing.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

Accept this sacrifice of ours, O Agni; glorify it with Indra and the Maruts. Here on our grass let Night and Dawn be seated: bring longing Varuṇa and Mitra hither.

Thus hath Vasishṭha praised victorious Agni, yearning for wealth that giveth all subsistence. May he bestow on us food, strength, and riches. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
