1.71.1
उप॒ प्र जि॑न्वन्नुश॒तीरु॒शन्तं॒ पतिं॒ न नित्यं॒ जन॑यः॒ सनी॑ळाः ।
स्वसा॑रः॒ श्यावी॒मरु॑षीमजुष्रञ्चि॒त्रमु॒च्छन्ती॑मु॒षसं॒ न गावः॑ ॥
As longing mothers go to their ever-present lord, so the sisters who dwell together delighted in dark and ruddy Uṣas; as cows (press toward) the bright dawn that shines forth.
1.71.2
वी॒ळु चि॑द्दृ॒ळ्हा पि॒तरो॑ न उ॒क्थैरद्रिं॑ रुज॒न्नङ्गि॑रसो॒ रवे॑ण ।
च॒क्रुर्दि॒वो बृ॑ह॒तो गा॒तुम॒स्मे अहः॒ स्व॑र्विविदुः के॒तुमु॒स्राः ॥
Even the firm strongholds, as our fathers did, the Aṅgirases broke with hymns, with a roar, breaking the rock; they made the way of the vast heaven for us, found the day and the sunlight; the cows found the sign of light.
1.71.3
दध॑न्नृ॒तं ध॒नय॑न्नस्य धी॒तिमादिद॒र्यो दि॑धि॒ष्वो॑ विभृ॑त्राः ।
अतृ॑ष्यन्तीर॒पसो॑ य॒न्त्यच्छा॑ दे॒वाञ्जन्म॒ प्रय॑सा व॒र्धय॑न्तीः ॥
Holding fast the cosmic order, desiring this one's prayer, then eager toward the Ārya, the dark-bearing, unthirsting waters go toward the gods, increasing their birth with nourishment.
1.71.4
मथी॒द्यदी॒ं विभृ॑तो मात॒रिश्वा॑ गृ॒हेगृ॑हे श्ये॒तो जेन्यो॒ भूत् ।
आदी॒ं राज्ञे॒ न सही॑यसे॒ सचा॒ सन्ना दू॒त्यं॑ भृग॑वाणो विवाय ॥
When Mātariśvan rubbed him forth, borne in every house, he became bright and was born; then the Bhṛgus, like a king with the mighty one together, set him up for the work of messenger.
1.71.5
म॒हे यत्पि॒त्र ईं॒ रसं॑ दि॒वे करव॑ त्सरत्पृश॒न्य॑श्चिकि॒त्वान् ।
सृ॒जदस्ता॑ धृष॒ता दि॒द्युम॑स्मै॒ स्वायां॑ दे॒वो दु॑हि॒तरि॒ त्विषिं॑ धात् ॥
When, for the great father, for heaven, he made the juice, he flowed down knowing the speckled cows; with the firm bolt he released the light, and the god placed brilliance in his own daughter.
1.71.6
स्व आ यस्तुभ्यं॒ दम॒ आ वि॒भान्नमो॑ वा॒ दाशा॑दुश॒तो अनु॒ द्यून् ।
वर्धो॑ अग्ने॒ वयो॑ अस्य द्वि॒बर्हा॒ यास॑द्रा॒या स॒रथं॒ यं जु॒नासि॑ ॥
He who in his own house shines near you, or gives homage to you, or gives after the days of dawn to the worshipper; O Agni, increase his strength; O Agni, may he whom you delight go forth with wealth as a companion.
1.71.7
अ॒ग्निं विश्वा॑ अ॒भि पृक्षः॑ सचन्ते समु॒द्रं न स्र॒वतः॑ स॒प्त य॒ह्वीः ।
न जा॒मिभि॒र्वि चि॑किते॒ वयो॑ नो वि॒दा दे॒वेषु॒ प्रम॑तिं चिकि॒त्वान् ॥
All paths converge upon Agni, as seven mighty rivers flow to the ocean. O wise one, though apart from your kinsfolk, recognize our vital strength and grant us understanding among the gods.
1.71.8
आ यदि॒षे नृ॒पतिं॒ तेज॒ आन॒ट्शुचि॒ रेतो॒ निषि॑क्तं॒ द्यौर॒भीके॑ ।
अ॒ग्निः शर्ध॑मनव॒द्यं युवा॑नं स्वा॒ध्यं॑ जनयत्सू॒दय॑च्च ॥
When, for sustenance, brilliance entered the lord of men, and heaven placed the pure seed in its shelter, Agni brought forth a faultless, ever-young, well-taught strength and set it in motion.
1.71.9
मनो॒ न योऽध्व॑नः स॒द्य एति॒ एकः॑ स॒त्रा सूरो॒ वस्व॑ ईशे ।
राजा॑ना मि॒त्रावरु॑णा सुपा॒णी गोषु॑ प्रि॒यम॒मृतं॒ रक्ष॑माणा ॥
Like the mind, alone, swiftly traversing the paths, he truly is the heroic lord of wealth. The skilful kings Mitra and Varuna guard the beloved immortal nectar among the cattle.
1.71.10
मा नो॑ अग्ने स॒ख्या पित्र्या॑णि॒ प्र म॑र्षिष्ठा अ॒भि वि॒दुष्क॒विः सन् ।
नभो॒ न रू॒पं ज॑रि॒मा मि॑नाति पु॒रा तस्या॑ अ॒भिश॑स्ते॒रधी॑हि ॥
O Agni, do not break our ancestral friendships; though knowing, remain a poet. As a cloud wears away form, so old age wears us down; before that, come to us, far from reproach.
