10.51.1
म॒हत्तदुल्बं॒ स्थवि॑रं॒ तदा॑सी॒द्येनावि॑ष्टितः प्रवि॒वेशि॑था॒पः ।
विश्वा॑ अपश्यद्बहु॒धा ते॑ अग्ने॒ जात॑वेदस्त॒न्वो॑ दे॒व एकः॑ ॥
That was great, deep and firm, by which, enveloped, you entered the waters. O Agni, knower of all born things, the one god saw your many bodies in many ways.
10.51.2
को मा॑ ददर्श कत॒मः स दे॒वो यो मे॑ त॒न्वो॑ बहु॒धा प॒र्यप॑श्यत् ।
क्वाह॑ मित्रावरुणा क्षियन्ति अ॒ग्नेर्विश्वाः॑ स॒मिधो॑ देव॒यानीः॑ ॥
Who has seen me? Which is that god who has looked upon my many bodies in many ways? O Mitra and Varuṇa, where do all the god-paths of Agni's kindling sticks perish?
10.51.3
ऐच्छा॑म त्वा बहु॒धा जा॑तवेदः॒ प्रवि॑ष्टमग्ने अ॒प्स्वोष॑धीषु ।
तं त्वा॑ य॒मो अ॑चिकेच्चित्रभानो दशान्तरु॒ष्याद॑ति॒रोच॑मानम् ॥
We have sought you in many ways, O Jātavedas. You entered the waters and the plants, O Agni. Yama knew you, O bright-lighted one, shining beyond the tenth wrapping.
10.51.4
हो॒त्राद॒हं व॑रुण॒ बिभ्य॑दायं॒ नेदे॒व मा॑ यु॒नज॒न्नत्र॑ दे॒वाः ।
तस्य॑ मे त॒न्वो॑ बहु॒धा निवि॑ष्टा ए॒तमर्थं॒ न चि॑केता॒हम॒ग्निः ॥
O Varuṇa, fearing for the invocation, I came; may the gods indeed join me here. My many bodies entered that in many ways; I did not know this purpose — I am Agni.
10.51.5
एहि॒ मनु॑र्देव॒युर्य॒ज्ञका॑मो अरं॒कृत्या॒ तम॑सि क्षेष्यग्ने ।
सु॒गान्प॒थः कृ॑णुहि देव॒याना॒न्वह॑ ह॒व्यानि॑ सुमन॒स्यमा॑नः ॥
Come, O Agni. Manu, desiring the gods and desiring sacrifice, you dwell in darkness. O Agni, make easy god-paths; bring the oblations with a gracious mind.
10.51.6
अ॒ग्नेः पूर्वे॒ भ्रात॑रो॒ अर्थ॑मे॒तं र॒थीवाध्वा॑न॒मन्वाव॑रीवुः ।
तस्मा॑द्भि॒या व॑रुण दू॒रमा॑यं गौ॒रो न क्षे॒प्नोर॑विजे॒ ज्यायाः॑ ॥
The ancient brothers of Agni, for this purpose, turned back along this road like charioteers. From that fear, O Varuṇa, I went far away like a bull, fearing not the arrow of the bowstring.
10.51.7
कु॒र्मस्त॒ आयु॑र॒जरं॒ यद॑ग्ने॒ यथा॑ यु॒क्तो जा॑तवेदो॒ न रिष्याः॑ ।
अथा॑ वहासि सुमन॒स्यमा॑नो भा॒गं दे॒वेभ्यो॑ ह॒विषः॑ सुजात ॥
O Jātavedas Agni, we prepare your undecaying life so that you may not be harmed, like a horse yoked to the chariot. O well-born one, then carry with a favourable mind the portion of the oblation to the gods.
10.51.8
प्र॒या॒जान्मे॑ अनुया॒जांश्च॒ केव॑ला॒नूर्ज॑स्वन्तं ह॒विषो॑ दत्त भा॒गम् ।
घृ॒तं चा॒पां पुरु॑षं॒ चौष॑धीनाम॒ग्नेश्च॑ दी॒र्घमायु॑रस्तु देवाः ॥
Give me the preliminary and follow-up offerings, and the portion of the oblation rich in strength. Give clarified butter, the essence of the waters and of the herbs; O gods, may Agni's life be long.
10.51.9
तव॑ प्रया॒जा अ॑नुया॒जाश्च॒ केव॑ल॒ ऊर्ज॑स्वन्तो ह॒विषः॑ सन्तु भा॒गाः ।
तवा॑ग्ने य॒ज्ञो॑ऽयम॑स्तु॒ सर्व॒स्तुभ्यं॑ नमन्तां प्र॒दिश॒श्चत॑स्रः ॥
May your preliminary and follow-up offerings, and the portions of the oblation rich in strength, be given. O Agni, may this whole sacrifice be yours; may the four quarters bow down to you.
