3.1.1
सोम॑स्य मा त॒वसं॒ वक्ष्य॑ग्ने॒ वह्निं॑ चकर्थ वि॒दथे॒ यज॑ध्यै ।
दे॒वाँ अच्छा॒ दीद्य॑द्यु॒ञ्जे अद्रिं॑ शमा॒ये अ॑ग्ने त॒न्वं॑ जुषस्व ॥
O Agni, you made me strong in the Soma offering and appointed me the bearer of the rite for worship. Toward the shining gods I yoke the pressing stone; for peace, O Agni, accept your form.
3.1.2
प्राञ्चं॑ य॒ज्ञं च॑कृम॒ वर्ध॑तां॒ गीः स॒मिद्भि॑र॒ग्निं नम॑सा दुवस्यन् ।
दि॒वः श॑शासुर्वि॒दथा॑ कवी॒नां गृत्सा॑य चित्त॒वसे॑ गा॒तुमी॑षुः ॥
We have performed the sacrifice that faces forward; serving Agni with kindling and homage, may our praise grow. From heaven they have proclaimed the rites of the seers; for Gṛtsa, for the mighty one, they have sent forth the path.
3.1.3
मयो॑ दधे॒ मेधि॑रः पू॒तद॑क्षो दि॒वः सु॒बन्धु॑र्ज॒नुषा॑ पृथि॒व्याः ।
अवि॑न्दन्नु दर्श॒तम॒प्स्व॑न्तर्दे॒वासो॑ अ॒ग्निम॒पसि॒ स्वसॄ॑णाम् ॥
The wise one, pure in his deeds, the good kinsman of heaven, has set up refreshment; by the birth of the earth he was born. The gods found that wondrous Agni amid the waters, in the work of the sisters.
3.1.4
अव॑र्धयन्त्सु॒भगं॑ स॒प्त य॒ह्वीः श्वे॒तं ज॑ज्ञा॒नम॑रु॒षं म॑हि॒त्वा ।
शिशुं॒ न जा॒तम॒भ्या॑रु॒रश्वा॑ दे॒वासो॑ अ॒ग्निं जनि॑मन्वपुष्यन् ॥
The seven great waters nourished the auspicious Agni, white and ruddy, born by his greatness. Like a newborn child, the streams like mares came up to the one born; O adorned one, at the birth the gods found you.
3.1.5
शु॒क्रेभि॒रङ्गै॒ रज॑ आतत॒न्वान्क्रतुं॑ पुना॒नः क॒विभिः॑ प॒वित्रैः॑ ।
शो॒चिर्वसा॑नः॒ पर्यायु॑र॒पां श्रियो॑ मिमीते बृह॒तीरनू॑नाः ॥
With his bright limbs he has stretched out the realm; purified by the poets' sieves, he cleanses the resolve. Clothed in flame, drawing life from the waters, he shapes vast, undiminished splendor.
3.1.6
व॒व्राजा॑ सी॒मन॑दती॒रद॑ब्धा दि॒वो य॒ह्वीरव॑साना॒ अन॑ग्नाः ।
सना॒ अत्र॑ युव॒तयः॒ सयो॑नी॒रेकं॒ गर्भं॑ दधिरे स॒प्त वाणीः॑ ॥
Roaring, unbroken, great ones of heaven, unveiled and not bare, they set him shining in motion; here the young women of one origin, the seven voices, have held one womb.
3.1.7
स्ती॒र्णा अ॑स्य सं॒हतो॑ वि॒श्वरू॑पा घृ॒तस्य॒ योनौ॑ स्र॒वथे॒ मधू॑नाम् ।
अस्थु॒रत्र॑ धे॒नवः॒ पिन्व॑माना म॒ही द॒स्मस्य॑ मा॒तरा॑ समी॒ची ॥
Agni's many-formed streams, gathered together, stand spread in the source of ghee and the flow of sweet waters. Here the swelling cows have stood, and the two great mothers of the wondrous one are joined together.
3.1.8
ब॒भ्रा॒णः सू॑नो सहसो॒ व्य॑द्यौ॒द्दधा॑नः शु॒क्रा र॑भ॒सा वपूं॑षि ।
श्चोत॑न्ति॒ धारा॒ मधु॑नो घृ॒तस्य॒ वृषा॒ यत्र॑ वावृ॒धे काव्ये॑न ॥
O son of might, shining, you blazed forth, bearing bright, swift forms. Streams of sweetness and ghee pour down; there the bull grew strong through the poetic word.
3.1.9
पि॒तुश्चि॒दूध॑र्ज॒नुषा॑ विवेद॒ व्य॑स्य॒ धारा॑ असृज॒द्वि धेनाः॑ ।
गुहा॒ चर॑न्तं॒ सखि॑भिः शि॒वेभि॑र्दि॒वो य॒ह्वीभि॒र्न गुहा॑ बभूव ॥
From birth he found his father's udder; he released his streams and the cows. Moving hidden with auspicious friends, he did not remain concealed with the young dawns of the sky.
3.1.10
पि॒तुश्च॒ गर्भं॑ जनि॒तुश्च॑ बभ्रे पू॒र्वीरेको॑ अधय॒त्पीप्या॑नाः ।
वृष्णे॑ स॒पत्नी॒ शुच॑ये॒ सब॑न्धू उ॒भे अ॑स्मै मनु॒ष्ये॑ नि पा॑हि ॥
He bore the womb of both the father and the begetter; alone, he sustains the many swelling ones. For the bull are two co-wives, for the bright one two kinsfolk — both for this man — protect him.
3.1.11
उ॒रौ म॒हाँ अ॑निबा॒धे व॑व॒र्धापो॑ अ॒ग्निं य॒शसः॒ सं हि पू॒र्वीः ।
ऋ॒तस्य॒ योना॑वशय॒द्दमू॑ना जामी॒नाम॒ग्निर॒पसि॒ स्वसॄ॑णाम् ॥
In the wide, unobstructed expanse the great one grew; the waters and the many glorious streams gather together and increase Agni. In the womb of truth the tamer lay; in the work of the sisters is Agni.
3.1.12
अ॒क्रो न ब॒भ्रिः स॑मि॒थे म॒हीनां॑ दिदृ॒क्षेयः॑ सू॒नवे॒ भाऋ॑जीकः ।
उदु॒स्रिया॒ जनि॑ता॒ यो ज॒जाना॒पां गर्भो॒ नृत॑मो य॒ह्वो अ॒ग्निः ॥
Like a tawny one in the assembly of the great, desiring to see the son, bright-haired — he who begot the dawns, the womb of the waters, most manly, the mighty Agni.
3.1.13
अ॒पां गर्भं॑ दर्श॒तमोष॑धीनां॒ वना॑ जजान सु॒भगा॒ विरू॑पम् ।
दे॒वास॑श्चि॒न्मन॑सा॒ सं हि ज॒ग्मुः पनि॑ष्ठं जा॒तं त॒वसं॑ दुवस्यन् ॥
The embryo of the waters, the visible one, the plants and the forests auspiciously bore him of many forms. The gods truly gathered in mind, desiring to serve the mighty one born and standing in the waters.
3.1.14
बृ॒हन्त॒ इद्भा॒नवो॒ भाऋ॑जीकम॒ग्निं स॑चन्त वि॒द्युतो॒ न शु॒क्राः ।
गुहे॑व वृ॒द्धं सद॑सि॒ स्वे अ॒न्तर॑पा॒र ऊ॒र्वे अ॒मृतं॒ दुहा॑नाः ॥
Great rays cling to Agni like gleaming lightnings. Grown like one hidden in a cave, in his own seat, in the boundless wide expanse, milking out immortality.
3.1.15
ईळे॑ च त्वा॒ यज॑मानो ह॒विर्भि॒रीळे॑ सखि॒त्वं सु॑म॒तिं निका॑मः ।
दे॒वैरवो॑ मिमीहि॒ सं ज॑रि॒त्रे रक्षा॑ च नो॒ दम्ये॑भि॒रनी॑कैः ॥
I praise you, sacrificing with oblations; I praise you, desiring friendship and good favor. Bestow help from the gods well upon the singer, and protect us with the tamed forces.
3.1.16
उ॒प॒क्षे॒तार॒स्तव॑ सुप्रणी॒तेऽग्ने॒ विश्वा॑नि॒ धन्या॒ दधा॑नाः ।
सु॒रेत॑सा॒ श्रव॑सा॒ तुञ्ज॑माना अ॒भि ष्या॑म पृतना॒यूँरदे॑वान् ॥
O good leader Agni, your guardians of the territory hold all treasures. Roaring with good offspring and fame, may we overcome the battle-seeking armies of the non-gods.
3.1.17
आ दे॒वाना॑मभवः के॒तुर॑ग्ने म॒न्द्रो विश्वा॑नि॒ काव्या॑नि वि॒द्वान् ।
प्रति॒ मर्ताँ॑ अवासयो॒ दमू॑ना॒ अनु॑ दे॒वान्र॑थि॒रो या॑सि॒ साध॑न् ॥
Agni, you became the banner of the gods, exhilarating and knowing all poetic wisdoms. You settle mortals in their houses, and as charioteer you go along with the gods, accomplishing the sacrifice.
3.1.18
नि दु॑रो॒णे अ॒मृतो॒ मर्त्या॑नां॒ राजा॑ ससाद वि॒दथा॑नि॒ साध॑न् ।
घृ॒तप्र॑तीक उर्वि॒या व्य॑द्यौद॒ग्निर्विश्वा॑नि॒ काव्या॑नि वि॒द्वान् ॥
The immortal Agni sat in the gate of mortals as king, accomplishing the rites. Agni of ghee-bright face shone forth widely, knowing all poetic wisdoms.
3.1.19
आ नो॑ गहि स॒ख्येभिः॑ शि॒वेभि॑र्म॒हान्म॒हीभि॑रू॒तिभिः॑ सर॒ण्यन् ।
अ॒स्मे र॒यिं ब॑हु॒लं संत॑रुत्रं सु॒वाचं॑ भा॒गं य॒शसं॑ कृधी नः ॥
Agni, great one, come hither to us with friendly and auspicious protections. Grant us abundant wealth that carries us across, well-spoken speech, and a share of glory.
3.1.20
ए॒ता ते॑ अग्ने॒ जनि॑मा॒ सना॑नि॒ प्र पू॒र्व्याय॒ नूत॑नानि वोचम् ।
म॒हान्ति॒ वृष्णे॒ सव॑ना कृ॒तेमा जन्म॑ञ्जन्म॒न्निहि॑तो जा॒तवे॑दाः ॥
Agni, I declare anew these your births and your ancient deeds for the ancient one. Great sacrifices were performed for the bull; at every birth Jātavedas was established.
3.1.21
जन्म॑ञ्जन्म॒न्निहि॑तो जा॒तवे॑दाः वि॒श्वामि॑त्रेभिरिध्यते॒ अज॑स्रः ।
तस्य॑ व॒यं सु॑म॒तौ य॒ज्ञिय॒स्यापि॑ भ॒द्रे सौ॑मन॒से स्या॑म ॥
At every birth Jātavedas, the tireless one, is established and kindled by the Viśvāmitras. May we, in the good-will of him who is worthy of sacrifice, also dwell in blessing and in goodwill.
3.1.22
इ॒मं य॒ज्ञं स॑हसाव॒न्त्वं नो॑ देव॒त्रा धे॑हि सुक्रतो॒ ररा॑णः ।
प्र यं॑सि होतर्बृह॒तीरिषो॒ नोऽग्ने॒ महि॒ द्रवि॑ण॒मा य॑जस्व ॥
O mighty one, establish this our sacrifice among the gods, and be generous, O good-deed doer. O hotar, grant us broad nourishments; O Agni, bring great wealth hither and offer it.
3.1.23
इळा॑मग्ने पुरु॒दंसं॑ स॒निं गोः श॑श्वत्त॒मं हव॑मानाय साध ।
स्यान्नः॑ सू॒नुस्तन॑यो वि॒जावाग्ने॒ सा ते॑ सुम॒तिर्भू॑त्व॒स्मे ॥
O Agni, accomplish for the one who calls the gift of Iḷā, abounding in deeds, the most enduring bounty of cows. May we have a son and offspring; O Agni, may that good-mindedness of yours be toward us.
