10.16.1
मैन॑मग्ने॒ वि द॑हो॒ माभि शो॑चो॒ मास्य॒ त्वचं॑ चिक्षिपो॒ मा शरी॑रम् ।
य॒दा शृ॒तं कृ॒णवो॑ जातवे॒दोऽथे॑मेनं॒ प्र हि॑णुतात्पि॒तृभ्यः॑ ॥
O Agni, do not burn him apart; do not scorch him with your flames, do not consume his skin or body. O Jātavedas, when you have cooked him through, send him forth to the Fathers.
10.16.2
शृ॒तं य॒दा कर॑सि जातवे॒दोऽथे॑मेनं॒ परि॑ दत्तात्पि॒तृभ्यः॑ ।
य॒दा गच्छा॒त्यसु॑नीतिमे॒तामथा॑ दे॒वानां॑ वश॒नीर्भ॑वाति ॥
When you prepare him, O Jātavedas, then give him entirely over to the Fathers. When he goes forth along this path of the vital breath, then he becomes subject to the gods.
10.16.3
सूर्यं॒ चक्षु॑र्गच्छतु॒ वात॑मा॒त्मा द्यां च॑ गच्छ पृथि॒वीं च॒ धर्म॑णा ।
अ॒पो वा॑ गच्छ॒ यदि॒ तत्र॑ ते हि॒तमोष॑धीषु॒ प्रति॑ तिष्ठा॒ शरी॑रैः ॥
Let his eye go to the sun, his breath to the wind; go to heaven and to earth according to your nature. Or, if there is a portion laid up for you there, go to the waters, or stand among the herbs, with your bodies.
10.16.4
अ॒जो भा॒गस्तप॑सा॒ तं त॑पस्व॒ तं ते॑ शो॒चिस्त॑पतु॒ तं ते॑ अ॒र्चिः ।
यास्ते॑ शि॒वास्त॒न्वो॑ जातवेद॒स्ताभि॑र्वहैनं सु॒कृता॑मुलो॒कम् ॥
Let the unborn portion be heated by fervor; heat him, let your flame heat him, let your light heat him. O Jātavedas, with those auspicious bodies of yours, carry him to the world of the righteous.
10.16.5
अव॑ सृज॒ पुन॑रग्ने पि॒तृभ्यो॒ यस्त॒ आहु॑त॒श्चर॑ति स्व॒धाभिः॑ ।
आयु॒र्वसा॑न॒ उप॑ वेतु॒ शेषः॒ सं ग॑च्छतां त॒न्वा॑ जातवेदः ॥
O Agni, send him back again to the Fathers — him who, offered by you, goes with the svadhā-offerings. May the remainder, clothed in life, come near; O Jātavedas, may the two go together with the body.
10.16.6
यत्ते॑ कृ॒ष्णः श॑कु॒न आ॑तु॒तोद॑ पिपी॒लः स॒र्प उ॒त वा॒ श्वाप॑दः ।
अ॒ग्निष्टद्वि॒श्वाद॑ग॒दं कृ॑णोतु॒ सोम॑श्च॒ यो ब्रा॑ह्म॒णाँ आ॑वि॒वेश॑ ॥
Whatever poison a black bird, an ant, a snake, or a dog has bitten into you with — from all that may Agni make the remedy; and may Soma, who has entered the Brahmins, do likewise.
10.16.7
अ॒ग्नेर्वर्म॒ परि॒ गोभि॑र्व्ययस्व॒ सं प्रोर्णु॑ष्व॒ पीव॑सा॒ मेद॑सा च ।
नेत्त्वा॑ धृ॒ष्णुर्हर॑सा॒ जर्हृ॑षाणो द॒धृग्वि॑ध॒क्ष्यन्प॑र्य॒ङ्खया॑ते ॥
O Agni, wrap yourself with the cows in your armor, and cover yourself fully with fat and marrow. May the bold one, thrilled with glow, holding and ready to burn, not seize you.
10.16.8
इ॒मम॑ग्ने चम॒सं मा वि जि॑ह्वरः प्रि॒यो दे॒वाना॑मु॒त सो॒म्याना॑म् ।
ए॒ष यश्च॑म॒सो दे॑व॒पान॒स्तस्मि॑न्दे॒वा अ॒मृता॑ मादयन्ते ॥
O Agni, do not let this cup be split apart; it is dear to the gods and to the soma-offerings. In this cup that protects the gods, the immortal gods rejoice.
10.16.9
क्र॒व्याद॑म॒ग्निं प्र हि॑णोमि दू॒रं य॒मरा॑ज्ञो गच्छतु रिप्रवा॒हः ।
इ॒हैवायमित॑रो जा॒तवे॑दा दे॒वेभ्यो॑ ह॒व्यं व॑हतु प्रजा॒नन् ॥
I send far away the flesh-eating Agni; let the enemy-carrier go to the far realm of King Yama. Here let this other Jātavedas, knowing, carry the oblation to the gods.
10.16.10
यो अ॒ग्निः क्र॒व्यात्प्र॑वि॒वेश॑ वो गृ॒हमि॒मं पश्य॒न्नित॑रं जा॒तवे॑दसम् ।
तं ह॑रामि पितृय॒ज्ञाय॑ दे॒वं स घ॒र्ममि॑न्वात्पर॒मे स॒धस्थे॑ ॥
The flesh-eating Agni has entered your house; seeing this other Jātavedas, I take that god for the ancestral sacrifice. May he bring the heated offering to the highest seat.
10.16.11
यो अ॒ग्निः क्र॑व्य॒वाह॑नः पि॒तॄन्यक्ष॑दृता॒वृधः॑ ।
प्रेदु॑ ह॒व्यानि॑ वोचति दे॒वेभ्य॑श्च पि॒तृभ्य॒ आ ॥
May Agni, the carrier of the flesh-eater's offering, worship the fathers who strengthen the cosmic order. May he proclaim the oblations well, to the gods and to the fathers.
10.16.12
उ॒शन्त॑स्त्वा॒ नि धी॑महि उ॒शन्तः॒ समि॑धीमहि ।
उ॒शन्नु॑श॒त आ व॑ह पि॒तॄन्ह॒विषे॒ अत्त॑वे ॥
Shining, we set you down; shining, we kindle you. O shining Agni, bring the fathers here to eat the oblation.
10.16.13
यं त्वम॑ग्ने स॒मद॑ह॒स्तमु॒ निर्वा॑पया॒ पुनः॑ ।
कि॒याम्ब्वत्र॑ रोहतु पाकदू॒र्वा व्य॑ल्कशा ॥
O Agni, the one you burned, release him again. Here in the moist ground let the green dūrvā grass and the spreading creepers grow up.
10.16.14
शीति॑के॒ शीति॑कावति॒ ह्लादि॑के॒ ह्लादि॑कावति ।
म॒ण्डू॒क्या॑ सु सं ग॑म इ॒मं स्व॑ग्निं ह॑र्षय ॥
O cool one, O possessor of coolness, O delightful one, O possessor of delight, go well together with the frog. Gladden this Agni well.
