1.72.1
नि काव्या॑ वे॒धसः॒ शश्व॑तस्क॒र्हस्ते॒ दधा॑नो॒ नर्या॑ पु॒रूणि॑ ।
अ॒ग्निर्भु॑वद्रयि॒पती॑ रयी॒णां स॒त्रा च॑क्रा॒णो अ॒मृता॑नि॒ विश्वा॑ ॥
Agni became lord of riches; holding in his hand the ancient poetic works of the wise seers, he performed many heroic deeds, and truly accomplished all the immortal things.
1.72.2
अ॒स्मे व॒त्सं परि॒ षन्तं॒ न वि॑न्दन्नि॒च्छन्तो॒ विश्वे॑ अ॒मृता॒ अमू॑राः ।
श्र॒म॒युवः॑ पद॒व्यो॑ धियं॒धास्त॒स्थुः प॒दे प॑र॒मे चार्व॒ग्नेः ॥
For us, all the immortal, unseen gods, desiring the child-calf, sought Agni; like weary wayfarers and meditating seers, they took their stand in Agni's highest place.
1.72.3
ति॒स्रो यद॑ग्ने श॒रद॒स्त्वामिच्शुचिं॑ घृ॒तेन॒ शुच॑यः सप॒र्यान् ।
नामा॑नि चिद्दधिरे य॒ज्ञिया॑नि॒ असू॑दयन्त त॒न्वः॑ सुजा॑ताः ॥
O Agni, when three years had passed, the bright ones served you with ghee; they took on names worthy of sacrifice, and the well-born set their bodies in motion.
1.72.4
आ रोद॑सी बृह॒ती वेवि॑दानाः॒ प्र रु॒द्रिया॑ जभ्रिरे य॒ज्ञिया॑सः ।
वि॒दन्मर्तो॑ ने॒मधि॑ता चिकि॒त्वान॒ग्निं प॒दे प॑र॒मे त॑स्थि॒वांस॑म् ॥
Seeking to know the vast heaven and earth, the sacrifice-worthy Rudras worshipped Agni; the wise mortal found Agni, who stands in the highest place in the newly set position.
1.72.5
सं॒जा॒ना॒ना उप॑ सीदन्नभि॒ज्ञु पत्नी॑वन्तो नम॒स्यं॑ नमस्यन् ।
रि॒रि॒क्वांस॑स्त॒न्वः॑ कृण्वत॒ स्वाः सखा॒ सख्यु॑र्नि॒मिषि॒ रक्ष॑माणाः ॥
Recognizing one another, they sat down near; with their wives they bowed in reverence to Agni, made their weary bodies their own, for a friend guards a friend in the twinkling of an eye.
1.72.6
त्रिः स॒प्त यद्गुह्या॑नि॒ त्वे इत्प॒दावि॑द॒न्निहि॑ता य॒ज्ञिया॑सः ।
तेभी॑ रक्षन्ते अ॒मृतं॑ स॒जोषाः॑ प॒शूञ्च॑ स्था॒तॄञ्च॒रथं॑ च पाहि ॥
Thrice seven secret places were found in you alone; the sacrifice-worthy hidden places are guarded by them. In harmony, protect immortality, protect the cattle and the standing and moving creatures, and protect the path.
1.72.7
वि॒द्वाँ अ॑ग्ने व॒युना॑नि क्षिती॒नां व्या॑नु॒षक्च्छु॒रुधो॑ जी॒वसे॑ धाः ।
अ॒न्त॒र्वि॒द्वाँ अध्व॑नो देव॒याना॒नत॑न्द्रो दू॒तो अ॑भवो हवि॒र्वाट् ॥
O Agni, knowing the paths of the dwelling-places of the earth, you establish the ways for life in due order. Knowing from within the paths that lead to the gods, untiring, you have become the messenger who bears the oblation.
1.72.8
स्वा॒ध्यो॑ दि॒व आ स॒प्त य॒ह्वीः रा॒यो दुरो॒ व्यृ॑त॒ज्ञा अ॑जानन् ।
वि॒दद्गव्यं॑ स॒रमा॑ दृ॒ळ्हमू॒र्वं येना॒ नु कं॒ मानु॑षी॒ भोज॑ते॒ विट् ॥
The seven great, self-powered knowers of order opened the doors of wealth from heaven. Then Sarama found the cattle and the firm enclosure, by which the human settlement now indeed rejoices.
1.72.9
आ ये विश्वा॑ स्वप॒त्यानि॑ त॒स्थुः कृ॑ण्वा॒नासो॑ अमृत॒त्वाय॑ गा॒तुम् ।
म॒ह्ना म॒हद्भिः॑ पृथि॒वी वि त॑स्थे मा॒ता पु॒त्रैरदि॑ति॒र्धाय॑से॒ वेः ॥
Those who stood in all good works, making the way to immortality, by their greatness and with the great ones, the wide earth stands firm. Mother Aditi, with her sons, is there for the dwelling of the wise one.
1.72.10
अधि॒ श्रियं॒ नि द॑धु॒श्चारु॑मस्मिन्दि॒वो यद॒क्षी अ॒मृता॒ अकृ॑ण्वन् ।
अध॑ क्षरन्ति॒ सिन्ध॑वो॒ न सृ॒ष्टाः प्र नीची॑रग्ने॒ अरु॑षीरजानन् ॥
In this sky they placed beautiful splendor, when the immortals made the eyes of heaven. Then the rivers flow as if sent forth; O Agni, the downward-flowing waters knew the ruddy dawns.
