10.69.1
भ॒द्रा अ॒ग्नेर्व॑ध्र्य॒श्वस्य॑ सं॒दृशो॑ वा॒मी प्रणी॑तिः सु॒रणा॒ उपे॑तयः ।
यदी॑ं सुमि॒त्रा विशो॒ अग्र॑ इ॒न्धते॑ घृ॒तेनाहु॑तो जरते॒ दवि॑द्युतत् ॥
Auspicious are the sights of Agni of Vadhryaśva; his guidance is lovely and easy to approach. When the friendly peoples kindle him at the forefront, he, offered with ghee, blazes forth and is praised.
10.69.2
घृ॒तम॒ग्नेर्व॑ध्र्य॒श्वस्य॒ वर्ध॑नं घृ॒तमन्नं॑ घृ॒तं व॑स्य॒ मेद॑नम् ।
घृ॒तेनाहु॑त उर्वि॒या वि प॑प्रथे॒ सूर्य॑ इव रोचते स॒र्पिरा॑सुतिः ॥
Ghee is the growth of Agni and of Vadhryaśva; ghee is their food, ghee their nourishment. Offered with ghee, he spreads wide and shines like the sun; ghee is his oblation.
10.69.3
यत्ते॒ मनु॒र्यदनी॑कं सुमि॒त्रः स॑मी॒धे अ॑ग्ने॒ तदि॒दं नवी॑यः ।
स रे॒वच्छो॑च॒ स गिरो॑ जुषस्व॒ स वाजं॑ दर्षि॒ स इ॒ह श्रवो॑ धाः ॥
O Agni, what Manu kindled for you, and what friendly Sumitra now kindles, that is this new (rite). May he, rich in wealth, shine forth; may he accept our songs, grant strength, and establish fame here.
10.69.4
यं त्वा॒ पूर्व॑मीळि॒तो व॑ध्र्य॒श्वः स॑मी॒धे अ॑ग्ने॒ स इ॒दं जु॑षस्व ।
स न॑ स्ति॒पा उ॒त भ॑वा तनू॒पा दा॒त्रं र॑क्षस्व॒ यदि॒दं ते॑ अ॒स्मे ॥
O Agni, may Vadhryaśva, praised of old, accept this for which he kindled you. May he be our support and guardian of the body; guard for us this gift of yours.
10.69.5
भवा॑ द्यु॒म्नी वा॑ध्र्यश्वो॒त गो॒पा मा त्वा॑ तारीद॒भिमा॑ति॒र्जना॑नाम् ।
शूर॑ इव धृ॒ष्णुश्च्यव॑नः सुमि॒त्रः प्र नु वो॑चं॒ वाध्र्य॑श्वस्य॒ नाम॑ ॥
O Vadhryaśva, be radiant and a guardian; may no foe overcome you. Bold as a hero and mighty is the friend Sumitra; now I would proclaim the name of Vadhryaśva.
10.69.6
सम॒ज्र्या॑ पर्व॒त्या॑ वसू॑नि॒ दासा॑ वृ॒त्राण्यार्या॑ जिगेथ ।
शूर॑ इव धृ॒ष्णुश्च्यव॑नो॒ जना॑नां॒ त्वम॑ग्ने पृतना॒यूँर॒भि ष्याः॑ ॥
O Agni, you have won together the unaging, mountain-born treasures; you have conquered the servants and the Vṛtras, and you have conquered the Āryas. Like a hero, mighty among men, O Agni, may you stand against the hostile hosts.
10.69.7
दी॒र्घत॑न्तुर्बृ॒हदु॑क्षा॒यम॒ग्निः स॒हस्र॑स्तरीः श॒तनी॑थ॒ ऋभ्वा॑ ।
द्यु॒मान्द्यु॒मत्सु॒ नृभि॑र्मृ॒ज्यमा॑नः सुमि॒त्रेषु॑ दीदयो देव॒यत्सु॑ ॥
O Agni, long-stringed, broad-jawed, thousand-rayed and hundred-pathed, you shine among the skillful Ṛbhus. Radiant one, purified by men, shine among the good allies and among those who serve the gods.
10.69.8
त्वे धे॒नुः सु॒दुघा॑ जातवेदो अस॒श्चते॑व सम॒ना स॑ब॒र्धुक् ।
त्वं नृभि॒र्दक्षि॑णावद्भिरग्ने सुमि॒त्रेभि॑रिध्यसे देव॒यद्भिः॑ ॥
In you is a milch-cow, easy to milk; O Jātavedas, she is like two that do not cling, milking together. O Agni, you are kindled by men, by gift-givers, by good allies, and by those who serve the gods.
10.69.9
दे॒वाश्चि॑त्ते अ॒मृता॑ जातवेदो महि॒मानं॑ वाध्र्यश्व॒ प्र वो॑चन् ।
यत्स॒म्पृच्छं॒ मानु॑षी॒र्विश॒ आय॒न्त्वं नृभि॑रजय॒स्त्वावृ॑धेभिः ॥
Even the immortal gods, O Jātavedas, proclaimed the greatness of Vādhryaśva, when the human clans came to question; you conquered with men and with the helpers who increase.
10.69.10
पि॒तेव॑ पु॒त्रम॑बिभरु॒पस्थे॒ त्वाम॑ग्ने वध्र्य॒श्वः स॑प॒र्यन् ।
जु॒षा॒णो अ॑स्य स॒मिधं॑ यविष्ठो॒त पूर्वाँ॑ अवनो॒र्व्राध॑तश्चित् ॥
As a father bears a son in his lap, O Agni, Vādhryaśva bore you in service. O youngest one, accept its kindling-fuel with delight, and protect also the former ones who advance.
10.69.11
शश्व॑द॒ग्निर्व॑ध्र्य॒श्वस्य॒ शत्रू॒न्नृभि॑र्जिगाय सु॒तसो॑मवद्भिः ।
सम॑नं चिददहश्चित्रभा॒नोऽव॒ व्राध॑न्तमभिनद्वृ॒धश्चि॑त् ॥
Ever Agni conquered the enemies of Vādhryaśva with men, with those who have pressed soma. O bright-shining one, you also burned up the contest; you brought down the one who was increasing, and struck even the strong one.
10.69.12
अ॒यम॒ग्निर्व॑ध्र्य॒श्वस्य॑ वृत्र॒हा स॑न॒कात्प्रेद्धो॒ नम॑सोपवा॒क्यः॑ ।
स नो॒ अजा॑मीँरु॒त वा॒ विजा॑मीन॒भि ति॑ष्ठ॒ शर्ध॑तो वाध्र्यश्व ॥
This Agni, of Vādhryaśva, slayer of Vṛtra, kindled to guard against the enemy, is praised with homage. May he stand for us against the non-kinsmen and against the kinsmen. O Vādhryaśva, stand firm against the strivers.
