1.14.1

ऐभि॑रग्ने॒ दुवो॒ गिरो॒ विश्वे॑भिः॒ सोम॑पीतये ।
दे॒वेभि॑र्याहि॒ यक्षि॑ च ॥

O Agni, come here with these gifts and with all the gods, to drink the soma; worship, and accept our songs.

आ त्वा॒ कण्वा॑ अहूषत गृ॒णन्ति॑ विप्र ते॒ धियः॑ ।
दे॒वेभि॑रग्न॒ आ ग॑हि ॥

The Kanva people have called you and praise you; O inspired one, they sing of your thoughts. O Agni, come here with the gods.

इ॒न्द्र॒वा॒यू बृह॒स्पतिं॑ मि॒त्राग्निं पू॒षणं॒ भग॑म् ।
आ॒दि॒त्यान्मारु॑तं ग॒णम् ॥

Indra and Vayu, Brihaspati, Mitra and Agni, Pushan and Bhaga, the Adityas, and the host of the Maruts — call them here.

प्र वो॑ भ्रियन्त॒ इन्द॑वो मत्स॒रा मा॑दयि॒ष्णवः॑ ।
द्र॒प्सा मध्व॑श्चमू॒षदः॑ ॥

For you the exhilarating, joy-making drops of soma are poured forth — the drops of honeyed juice that sit in the vessel.

ईळ॑ते॒ त्वाम॑व॒स्यवः॒ कण्वा॑सो वृ॒क्तब॑र्हिषः ।
ह॒विष्म॑न्तो अरं॒कृतः॑ ॥

The Kanva people, desiring help, with the sacred grass cut and spread, holding oblations, having prepared the rite — they invoke and praise you.

घृ॒तपृ॑ष्ठा मनो॒युजो॒ ये त्वा॒ वह॑न्ति॒ वह्न॑यः ।
आ दे॒वान्त्सोम॑पीतये ॥

The ghee-backed, mind-yoked steeds that carry you — let them bring the gods here to drink the soma.

तान्यज॑त्राँ ऋता॒वृधोऽग्ने॒ पत्नी॑वतस्कृधि ।
मध्वः॑ सुजिह्व पायय ॥

O Agni, bring those adorable gods who uphold cosmic order, together with their consorts. O well-tongued one, let them drink of the honey.

ये यज॑त्रा॒ य ईड्या॒स्ते ते॑ पिबन्तु जि॒ह्वया॑ ।
मधो॑रग्ने॒ वष॑ट्कृति ॥

Those who are adorable and laudable, may they drink through your tongue. O Agni, may they drink the honey with the vaṣaṭ-offering.

आकीं॒ सूर्य॑स्य रोच॒नाद्विश्वा॑न्दे॒वाँ उ॑ष॒र्बुधः॑ ।
विप्रो॒ होते॒ह व॑क्षति ॥

From the light of the sun, the wise priest will here bring all the gods who awaken at dawn.

विश्वे॑भिः सो॒म्यं मधु॒ अग्न॒ इन्द्रे॑ण वा॒युना॑ ।
पिबा॑ मि॒त्रस्य॒ धाम॑भिः ॥

O Agni, together with all the gods, together with Indra and Vāyu, drink the sweet soma-honey. Drink through the abodes of Mitra.

त्वं होता॒ मनु॑र्हि॒तोऽग्ने॑ य॒ज्ञेषु॑ सीदसि ।
सेमं नो॑ अध्व॒रं य॑ज ॥

You are the priest, O Agni, set down by Manu; you sit at the sacrifices. May you indeed perform this rite of ours.

यु॒क्ष्वा ह्यरु॑षी॒ रथे॑ ह॒रितो॑ देव रो॒हितः॑ ।
ताभि॑र्दे॒वाँ इ॒हा व॑ह ॥

Yoke, indeed, your ruddy and tawny horses to the chariot, O god; with them bring the gods hither.
