2.2.1
य॒ज्ञेन॑ वर्धत जा॒तवे॑दसम॒ग्निं य॑जध्वं ह॒विषा॒ तना॑ गि॒रा ।
स॒मि॒धा॒नं सु॑प्र॒यसं॒ स्व॑र्णरं द्यु॒क्षं होता॑रं वृ॒जने॑षु धू॒र्षद॑म् ॥
By sacrifice, increase Agni, born with all knowledge; worship him with oblation and with song, the kindled one of fair renown, golden and radiant, the priest who sits upon the burden in the contests.
2.2.2
अ॒भि त्वा॒ नक्ती॑रु॒षसो॑ ववाशि॒रेऽग्ने॑ व॒त्सं न स्वस॑रेषु धे॒नवः॑ ।
दि॒व इ॒वेद॑र॒तिर्मानु॑षा यु॒गा क्षपो॑ भासि पुरुवार सं॒यतः॑ ॥
The nights and dawns have embraced you, O Agni, as cows surround their calf in the pens. Tireless as the sky, unwearied, you shine among the human generations and in the night, O rich one, of the joined sacrifices.
2.2.3
तं दे॒वा बु॒ध्ने रज॑सः सु॒दंस॑सं दि॒वस्पृ॑थि॒व्योर॑र॒तिं न्ये॑रिरे ।
रथ॑मिव॒ वेद्यं॑ शु॒क्रशो॑चिषम॒ग्निं मि॒त्रं न क्षि॒तिषु॑ प्र॒शंस्य॑म् ॥
The gods placed him at the base of the sky, the most bounteous, the tireless one of heaven and earth. Like a chariot worthy to be known, bright-flamed Agni, like a friend, to be praised among the settlements.
2.2.4
तमु॒क्षमा॑णं॒ रज॑सि॒ स्व आ दमे॑ च॒न्द्रमि॑व सु॒रुचं॑ ह्वा॒र आ द॑धुः ।
पृश्न्याः॑ पत॒रं चि॒तय॑न्तम॒क्षभिः॑ पा॒थो न पा॒युं जन॑सी उ॒भे अनु॑ ॥
Him who was set in his own dwelling in the sky, like the moon, in the beautiful-shining invocation; the father of the bright ones, illuminating with his eyes, the Pitar. Like a guardian of the path, you two follow the two peoples, heaven and earth, both alike.
2.2.5
स होता॒ विश्वं॒ परि॑ भूत्वध्व॒रं तमु॑ ह॒व्यैर्मनु॑ष ऋञ्जते गि॒रा ।
हि॒रि॒शि॒प्रो वृ॑धसा॒नासु॒ जर्भु॑र॒द्द्यौर्न स्तृभि॑श्चितय॒द्रोद॑सी॒ अनु॑ ॥
May that priest be around all the sacrifices; men praise him with oblations and with song. Sharp-sighted, kindled in the nourishing logs, like the sky with its pillars, he sets in order the two worlds, heaven and earth.
2.2.6
स नो॑ रे॒वत्स॑मिधा॒नः स्व॒स्तये॑ संदद॒स्वान्र॒यिम॒स्मासु॑ दीदिहि ।
आ नः॑ कृणुष्व सुवि॒ताय॒ रोद॑सी॒ अग्ने॑ ह॒व्या मनु॑षो देव वी॒तये॑ ॥
May he, rich in wealth and kindled, shine in us, bestowing riches for our well-being. O Agni, O god, make the oblations of men, heaven and earth, available to us for our enjoyment and good prosperity.
2.2.7
दा नो॑ अग्ने बृह॒तो दाः स॑ह॒स्रिणो॑ दु॒रो न वाजं॒ श्रुत्या॒ अपा॑ वृधि ।
प्राची॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी ब्रह्म॑णा कृधि॒ स्व॑र्ण शु॒क्रमु॒षसो॒ वि दि॑द्युतः ॥
O Agni, give us great wealth with a thousand gates; open the doors of strength for hearing. Light up the eastern heaven and earth with the sacred word; spread the bright light of Uṣas like the sun.
2.2.8
स इ॑धा॒न उ॒षसो॒ राम्या॒ अनु॒ स्व॑र्ण दी॑देदरु॒षेण॑ भा॒नुना॑ ।
होत्रा॑भिर॒ग्निर्मनु॑षः स्वध्व॒रो राजा॑ वि॒शामति॑थि॒श्चारु॑रा॒यवे॑ ॥
That kindled Agni shines after the lovely dawns like the sun with reddish light. Agni, with the Hotars and with Manu's fine sacrifice, king and guest of the peoples, is dear to man.
2.2.9
ए॒वा नो॑ अग्ने अ॒मृते॑षु पूर्व्य॒ धीष्पी॑पाय बृ॒हद्दि॑वेषु॒ मानु॑षा ।
दुहा॑ना धे॒नुर्वृ॒जने॑षु का॒रवे॒ त्मना॑ श॒तिनं॑ पुरु॒रूप॑मि॒षणि॑ ॥
Thus, O Agni, O ancient one, our thought has swelled among the immortals; among the heaven-wide humans, a cow milking in strengths fills of herself, for the poet, a hundredfold, many-formed stream.
2.2.10
व॒यम॑ग्ने॒ अर्व॑ता वा सु॒वीर्यं॒ ब्रह्म॑णा वा चितयेमा॒ जनाँ॒ अति॑ ।
अ॒स्माकं॑ द्यु॒म्नमधि॒ पञ्च॑ कृ॒ष्टिषू॒च्चा स्व॑र्ण शु॑शुचीत दु॒ष्टर॑म् ॥
May we, O Agni, make known the peoples beyond, with a swift horse or with fine heroism, or with the sacred word. Among the five tribes may our brilliance shine high like the sun, and light up what is hard to cross.
2.2.11
स नो॑ बोधि सहस्य प्र॒शंस्यो॒ यस्मि॑न्त्सुजा॒ता इ॒षय॑न्त सू॒रयः॑ ।
यम॑ग्ने य॒ज्ञमु॑प॒यन्ति॑ वा॒जिनो॒ नित्ये॑ तो॒के दी॑दि॒वांसं॒ स्वे दमे॑ ॥
May he awaken us, O strong one, worthy of praise, in whom the well-born inspired poets take delight; O Agni, the sacrifice that the strong bring to you, shining in your own house in the eternal offspring.
2.2.12
उ॒भया॑सो जातवेदः स्याम ते स्तो॒तारो॑ अग्ने सू॒रय॑श्च॒ शर्म॑णि ।
वस्वो॑ रा॒यः पु॑रुश्च॒न्द्रस्य॒ भूय॑सः प्र॒जाव॑तः स्वप॒त्यस्य॑ शग्धि नः ॥
May we both, O knower of all births, be your singers and leaders of the people, dwelling in your shelter. Grant us happiness in wealth, in riches of great splendour that bring joy, abundant, rich in offspring, of good lordship.
2.2.13
ये स्तो॒तृभ्यो॒ गोअ॑ग्रा॒मश्व॑पेशस॒मग्ने॑ रा॒तिमु॑पसृ॒जन्ति॑ सू॒रयः॑ ।
अ॒स्माञ्च॒ तांश्च॒ प्र हि नेषि॒ वस्य॒ आ बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
Just as the inspired seers send forth to the praisers a gift rich in cattle and adorned with horses, O Agni, so lead us and them toward wealth; may we, rich in good heroes, speak great praise at the sacred assembly.
