1.140.1
वे॒दि॒षदे॑ प्रि॒यधा॑माय सु॒द्युते॑ धा॒सिमि॑व॒ प्र भ॑रा॒ योनि॑म॒ग्नये॑ ।
वस्त्रे॑णेव वासया॒ मन्म॑ना॒ शुचिं॑ ज्यो॒तीर॑थं शु॒क्रव॑र्णं तमो॒हन॑म् ॥
Bring a seat for Agni, who sits upon the altar, whose dwelling is dear and whose brilliance is fair, as one sets down a support. Adorn with the thought of the hymn, as with a garment, that pure one whose chariot is light, bright in color, destroyer of darkness.
1.140.2
अ॒भि द्वि॒जन्मा॑ त्रि॒वृदन्न॑मृज्यते संवत्स॒रे वा॑वृधे ज॒ग्धमी॒ पुनः॑ ।
अ॒न्यस्या॒सा जि॒ह्वया॒ जेन्यो॒ वृषा॒ न्य॑न्येन॑ व॒निनो॑ मृष्ट वार॒णः ॥
Twice-born, thrice-fold, Agni is roused toward food; in the year he grows, and what he has eaten, he takes up again. Born of this other one's tongue, a bull, he licks down the forest trees, obstructed by another.
1.140.3
कृ॒ष्ण॒प्रुतौ॑ वेवि॒जे अ॑स्य स॒क्षितौ॑ उ॒भा त॑रेते अ॒भि मा॒तरा॒ शिशु॑म् ।
प्रा॒चाजि॑ह्वं ध्व॒सय॑न्तं तृषु॒च्युत॒मा साच्यं॒ कुप॑यं॒ वर्ध॑नं पि॒तुः ॥
Black-streaked, quivering, these two are his companions; both mothers cross over toward the child. Flame-tongued, blazing, swift, growing at the feast, increaser of the father, toward him.
1.140.4
मु॒मु॒क्ष्वो॑ मन॑वे मानवस्य॒ते र॑घु॒द्रुवः॑ कृ॒ष्णसी॑तास ऊ॒ जुवः॑ ।
अ॒स॒म॒ना अ॑जि॒रासो॑ रघु॒ष्यदो॒ वात॑जूता॒ उप॑ युज्यन्त आ॒शवः॑ ॥
Desiring release, you who cherish man! For Manu, the swift runners, dark and bright, one-minded like horses, driven by the wind, are yoked to speed.
1.140.5
आद॑स्य॒ ते ध्व॒सय॑न्तो॒ वृथे॑रते कृ॒ष्णमभ्वं॒ महि॒ वर्पः॒ करि॑क्रतः ।
यत्सीं॑ म॒हीम॒वनिं॒ प्राभि मर्मृ॑शदभिश्व॒सन्त्स्त॒नय॒न्नेति॒ नान॑दत् ॥
Then his swift runners go in vain; he makes a dark, dusty form, a great expanse. When he moves forward, touching the great earth, he comes roaring and thundering, and resounds.
1.140.6
भूष॒न्न योऽधि॑ ब॒भ्रूषु॒ नम्न॑ते॒ वृषे॑व॒ पत्नी॑र॒भ्ये॑ति॒ रोरु॑वत् ।
ओ॒जा॒यमा॑नस्त॒न्व॑श्च शुम्भते भी॒मो न शृङ्गा॑ दविधाव दु॒र्गृभिः॑ ॥
Shining like a bull, like a lord, he bows among the bright ones; like a bull he comes roaring toward the wives. Born of strength, he adorns his body; fearsome, like horns, he runs with fortresses.
1.140.7
स सं॒स्तिरो॑ वि॒ष्टिरः॒ सं गृ॑भायति जा॒नन्ने॒व जा॑न॒तीर्नित्य॒ आ श॑ये ।
पुन॑र्वर्धन्ते॒ अपि॑ यन्ति दे॒व्य॑म॒न्यद्वर्पः॑ पि॒त्रोः कृ॑ण्वते॒ सचा॑ ॥
He gathers together the spread-out expanse; knowing, he dwells ever among the knowing dawns. They grow again and go to the divine realm; together with the parents they make another form.
1.140.8
तम॒ग्रुवः॑ के॒शिनीः॒ सं हि रे॑भि॒र ऊ॒र्ध्वास्त॑स्थुर्म॒म्रुषीः॒ प्रायवे॒ पुनः॑ ।
तासां॑ ज॒रां प्र॑मु॒ञ्चन्ने॑ति॒ नान॑द॒दसुं॒ परं॑ ज॒नय॑ञ्जी॒वमस्तृ॑तम् ॥
The unshaking, hair-bearing dawns clung to him together; they rose upright and stood, and though they seemed dead, they woke again for the one who strives. Releasing their old age, he goes roaring, generating breath from afar, undying life.
1.140.9
अ॒धी॒वा॒सं परि॑ मा॒तू रि॒हन्नह॑ तुवि॒ग्रेभिः॒ सत्व॑भिर्याति॒ वि ज्रयः॑ ।
वयो॒ दध॑त्प॒द्वते॒ रेरि॑ह॒त्सदानु॒ श्येनी॑ सचते वर्त॒नीरह॑ ॥
Licking the mother, the wrapped one goes around, indeed with many-fold powers, and spreads apart along the paths. Bearing strength, licking again and again for the one who goes, the ever-bright hawk-like one clings to those paths.
1.140.10
अ॒स्माक॑मग्ने म॒घव॑त्सु दीदिहि॒ अध॒ श्वसी॑वान्वृष॒भो दमू॑नाः ।
अ॒वास्या॒ शिशु॑मतीरदीदे॒र्वर्मे॑व यु॒त्सु प॑रि॒जर्भु॑राणः ॥
O Agni, shine among our bountiful patrons; then, strong as a bull and lord of the house, do not abandon them. With the calf-bearing cows you have kindled; like armor in battles, surrounded by forces, protect us.
1.140.11
इ॒दम॑ग्ने॒ सुधि॑तं॒ दुर्धि॑ता॒दधि॑ प्रि॒यादु॑ चि॒न्मन्म॑नः॒ प्रेयो॑ अस्तु ते ।
यत्ते॑ शु॒क्रं त॒न्वो॑ रोच॑ते॒ शुचि॒ तेना॒स्मभ्यं॑ वनसे॒ रत्न॒मा त्वम् ॥
O Agni, let this well-offered oblation be far from the ill-offered, and let it be dearer to you than the dear thought of the mind. With that bright, pure seed that shines from your body, bestow treasure upon us.
1.140.12
रथा॑य॒ नाव॑मु॒त नो॑ गृ॒हाय॒ नित्या॑रित्रां प॒द्वतीं॑ रास्यग्ने ।
अ॒स्माकं॑ वी॒राँ उ॒त नो॑ म॒घोनो॒ जनां॑श्च॒ या पा॒रया॒च्छर्म॒ या च॑ ॥
Grant a boat for the chariot, and for our house, an ever-swift boat with steering. O Agni, grant it to our heroes and our bountiful patrons, and to the people who carry us across and who give shelter.
1.140.13
अ॒भी नो॑ अग्न उ॒क्थमिज्जु॑गुर्या॒ द्यावा॒क्षामा॒ सिन्ध॑वश्च॒ स्वगू॑र्ताः ।
गव्यं॒ यव्यं॒ यन्तो॑ दी॒र्घाहेषं॒ वर॑मरु॒ण्यो॑ वरन्त ॥
O Agni, may you accept our hymn; may Heaven and Earth accept it, and the rivers that flow of their own accord with fine motion. Moving forward toward cattle-wealth and barley-wealth, may the reddish Dawns choose the boon of nourishment for long days.
