1.68.1

श्री॒णन्नुप॑ स्था॒द्दिवं॑ भुर॒ण्युः ।
स्था॒तुश्च॒रथ॑म॒क्तून्व्यू॑र्णोत् ॥

The shining Agni rose up toward the sky; he unveiled the standing chariot of the sun, parting it from the nights.

परि॒ यदे॑षा॒मेको॒ विश्वे॑षाम् ।
भुव॑द्दे॒वो दे॒वानां॑ महि॒त्वा ॥

When the sole god among all these became, by his greatness, god among the gods.

आदित्ते॒ विश्वे॒ क्रतुं॑ जुषन्त ।
शुष्का॒द्यद्दे॑व जी॒वो जनि॑ष्ठाः ॥

Then all the gods accepted your purpose, when, O god, living from the dry wood you were born earliest.

भज॑न्त॒ विश्वे॑ देव॒त्वं नाम॑ ।
ऋ॒तं सप॑न्तो अ॒मृत॒मेवैः॑ ॥

All the gods obtained divinity and a name; upholding the cosmic order, by these very deeds they attained immortality.

ऋ॒तस्य॒ प्रेषा॑ ऋ॒तस्य॑ धी॒तिर् ।
वि॒श्वायु॒र्विश्वे॒ अपां॑सि चक्रुः ॥

Messengers of cosmic order, devotion to cosmic order; all the gods who live their full life performed their deeds.

यस्तुभ्यं॒ दाशा॒द्यो वा॑ ते॒ शिक्षा॑त् ।
तस्मै॑ चिकि॒त्वान्र॒यिं द॑यस्व ॥

To him who gives to you, or who teaches you, O knowing one, grant wealth.

होता॒ निष॑त्तो॒ मनो॒रप॑त्ये ।
स चि॒न्न्वा॑सां॒ पती॑ रयी॒णाम् ॥

The invoking priest, seated among the offspring of Manu, is indeed now the lord of these men's riches.

इ॒च्छन्त॒ रेतो॑ मि॒थस्त॒नूषु॑ ।
सं जा॑नत॒ स्वैर्दक्षै॒रमू॑राः ॥

They desire seed among one another; by their own skills the immortal ones recognize each other in their bodies.

पि॒तुर्न पु॒त्राः क्रतुं॑ जुषन्त ।
श्रोष॒न्ये अ॑स्य॒ शासं॑ तु॒रासः॑ ॥

As sons delight in their father's purpose, so may the swift ones who hear his instruction accept it with joy.

वि राय॑ और्णो॒द्दुरः॑ पुरु॒क्षुः ।
पि॒पेश॒ नाकं॒ स्तृभि॒र्दमू॑नाः ॥

Agni, ranging in his many forms, opens the doors of wealth; with stars he adorned the vault of heaven, he who is the lord of the house.
