10.79.1
अप॑श्यमस्य मह॒तो म॑हि॒त्वमम॑र्त्यस्य॒ मर्त्या॑सु वि॒क्षु ।
नाना॒ हनू॒ विभृ॑ते॒ सं भ॑रेते॒ असि॑न्वती॒ बप्स॑ती॒ भूर्य॑त्तः ॥
I beheld the majesty of this great immortal who dwells among mortal peoples. His two different jaws bear together; moist and licking, he devours abundantly.
10.79.2
गुहा॒ शिरो॒ निहि॑त॒मृध॑ग॒क्षी असि॑न्वन्नत्ति जि॒ह्वया॒ वना॑नि ।
अत्रा॑ण्यस्मै प॒ड्भिः सं भ॑रन्ति उत्ता॒नह॑स्ता॒ नम॒साधि॑ वि॒क्षु ॥
His head is set in secrecy and his eyes apart; with moist tongue he devours the forests. For him they gather fresh branches with their feet, hands raised up in reverence, among the peoples.
10.79.3
प्र मा॒तुः प्र॑त॒रं गुह्य॑मि॒च्छन्कु॑मा॒रो न वी॒रुधः॑ सर्पदु॒र्वीः ।
स॒सं न प॒क्वम॑विदच्छु॒चन्तं॑ रिरि॒ह्वांसं॑ रि॒प उ॒पस्थे॑ अ॒न्तः ॥
Seeking the mother's hidden secret farther off, as a boy creeps through wide herbs, as one who found ripe food, licking the shining foe, within the lap.
10.79.4
तद्वा॑मृ॒तं रो॑दसी॒ प्र ब्र॑वीमि॒ जाय॑मानो मा॒तरा॒ गर्भो॑ अत्ति ।
नाहं दे॒वस्य॒ मर्त्य॑श्चिकेता॒ग्निर॒ङ्ग विचे॑ताः॒ स प्रचे॑ताः ॥
O heaven and earth, I declare to you both that truth: the embryo, being born, devours both mothers. I, a mortal, do not know it of the god; Agni is discerning, far-seeing, he indeed knows.
10.79.5
यो अ॑स्मा॒ अन्नं॑ तृ॒ष्वा॑दधा॑ति॒ आज्यै॑र्घृ॒तैर्जु॒होति॒ पुष्य॑ति ।
तस्मै॑ स॒हस्र॑म॒क्षभि॒र्वि च॒क्षेऽग्ने॑ वि॒श्वतः॑ प्र॒त्यङ्ङ॑सि॒ त्वम् ॥
Whoever quickly sets food for him, offers with clarified butter and ghee, prospers. For him I look out with a thousand eyes; O Agni, you are turned toward every side.
10.79.6
किं दे॒वेषु॒ त्यज॒ एन॑श्चक॒र्थाग्ने॑ पृ॒च्छामि॒ नु त्वामवि॑द्वान् ।
अक्री॑ळ॒न्क्रीळ॒न्हरि॒रत्त॑वे॒ऽदन्वि प॑र्व॒शश्च॑कर्त॒ गामि॑वा॒सिः ॥
O Agni, what offense did you commit among the gods, what sin did you abandon? Not knowing, I now ask you. Not playing yet playing, the tawny one, eating to devour, cut apart limb by limb, as a sword cuts a cow.
10.79.7
विषू॑चो॒ अश्वा॑न्युयुजे वने॒जा ऋजी॑तिभी रश॒नाभि॑र्गृभी॒तान् ।
च॒क्ष॒दे मि॒त्रो वसु॑भिः॒ सुजा॑तः॒ समा॑नृधे॒ पर्व॑भिर्वावृधा॒नः ॥
Vanejā (Agni) yoked the horses that run apart, seized with the reins of the Ṛjītis. Mitra, well-born, sees with the Vasus; growing well with his limbs, he prospers.
