3.2.1
वै॒श्वा॒न॒राय॑ धि॒षणा॑मृता॒वृधे॑ घृ॒तं न पू॒तम॒ग्नये॑ जनामसि ।
द्वि॒ता होता॑रं॒ मनु॑षश्च वा॒घतो॑ धि॒या रथं॒ न कुलि॑शः॒ समृ॑ण्वति ॥
For Vaiśvānara, for Agni who strengthens ṛta, we bring forth prayer as pure as clarified butter; he shapes the two priests of men with thought, as a skilled craftsman fashions a chariot.
3.2.2
स रो॑चयज्ज॒नुषा॒ रोद॑सी उ॒भे स मा॒त्रोर॑भवत्पु॒त्र ईड्यः॑ ।
ह॒व्य॒वाळ॒ग्निर॒जर॒श्चनो॑हितो दू॒ळभो॑ वि॒शामति॑थिर्वि॒भाव॑सुः ॥
By birth he lit up both worlds and became the praised son of both mothers. Agni, bearer of offerings, ageless, hidden in the forest, guest of the peoples, is radiant with wealth.
3.2.3
क्रत्वा॒ दक्ष॑स्य॒ तरु॑षो॒ विध॑र्मणि दे॒वासो॑ अ॒ग्निं ज॑नयन्त॒ चित्ति॑भिः ।
रु॒रु॒चा॒नं भा॒नुना॒ ज्योति॑षा म॒हामत्यं॒ न वाजं॑ सनि॒ष्यन्नुप॑ ब्रुवे ॥
By will and skill, in the wondrous work of the swift one, the gods brought Agni forth with their thoughts. Shining with light, brilliance and splendor, the great one, I draw near and call, like a horse eager for the prize.
3.2.4
आ म॒न्द्रस्य॑ सनि॒ष्यन्तो॒ वरे॑ण्यं वृणी॒महे॒ अह्र॑यं॒ वाज॑मृ॒ग्मिय॑म् ।
रा॒तिं भृगू॑णामु॒शिजं॑ क॒विक्र॑तुम॒ग्निं राज॑न्तं दि॒व्येन॑ शो॒चिषा॑ ॥
Toward the one who gladdens, seeking victory, we choose the desirable, unconquered strength worthy of praise. The gift of the Bhṛgus, Agni of the poet-wise Uśij, who rules with divine flame, we choose.
3.2.5
अ॒ग्निं सु॒म्नाय॑ दधिरे पु॒रो जना॒ वाज॑श्रवसमि॒ह वृ॒क्तब॑र्हिषः ।
य॒तस्रु॑चः सु॒रुचं॑ वि॒श्वदे॑व्यं रु॒द्रं य॒ज्ञानां॒ साध॑दिष्टिम॒पसा॑म् ॥
For well-being the people first set Agni in front, here with the barhis spread, Vājaśravas. The one of beautiful light, of all the gods, Rudra, the bringer of success in the sacrifices, the accomplisher of works.
3.2.6
पाव॑कशोचे॒ तव॒ हि क्षयं॒ परि॒ होत॑र्य॒ज्ञेषु॑ वृ॒क्तब॑र्हिषो॒ नरः॑ ।
अग्ने॒ दुव॑ इ॒च्छमा॑नास॒ आप्य॒मुपा॑सते॒ द्रवि॑णं धेहि॒ तेभ्यः॑ ॥
O Agni of purifying brilliance, surely your abode is all about; O priest, among the men who strew the barhis in the sacrifices. O Agni, the eager ones who sit near you like messengers — grant wealth to them.
3.2.7
आ रोद॑सी अपृण॒दा स्व॑र्म॒हज्जा॒तं यदे॑नम॒पसो॒ अधा॑रयन् ।
सो अ॑ध्व॒राय॒ परि॑ णीयते क॒विरत्यो॒ न वाज॑सातये॒ चनो॑हितः ॥
When the great newborn Agni was held up by the waters, he filled heaven and earth and the sky. The seer is led about for the sacrifice, like a swift horse for winning spoils, he who is set foremost.
3.2.8
न॒म॒स्यत॑ ह॒व्यदा॑तिं स्वध्व॒रं दु॑व॒स्यत॒ दम्यं॑ जा॒तवे॑दसम् ।
र॒थीर्ऋ॒तस्य॑ बृह॒तो विच॑र्षणिर॒ग्निर्दे॒वाना॑मभवत्पु॒रोहि॑तः ॥
Pay homage to Agni, giver of oblations and possessor of the good sacrifice; invoke the tamed Jātavedas. Agni, charioteer of cosmic order, great and far-seeing, became the priest of the gods.
3.2.9
ति॒स्रो य॒ह्वस्य॑ स॒मिधः॒ परि॑ज्मनो अ॒ग्नेर॑पुनन्नु॒शिजो॒ अमृ॑त्यवः ।
तासा॒मेका॒मद॑धु॒र्मर्त्ये॒ भुज॑मुलो॒कमु॒ द्वे उप॑ जा॒मिमी॑यतुः ॥
Three kindling sticks of the Yahva, of the far-reaching Agni, the wakeful immortals purified. One of them they placed among mortals as enjoyment; two went to the two worlds and to their kindred.
3.2.10
वि॒शां क॒विं वि॒श्पतिं॒ मानु॑षी॒रिषः॒ सं सी॑मकृण्व॒न्त्स्वधि॑तिं॒ न तेज॑से ।
स उ॒द्वतो॑ नि॒वतो॑ याति॒ वेवि॑ष॒त्स गर्भ॑मे॒षु भुव॑नेषु दीधरत् ॥
The clans' seer and clan-lord, the human offerings together made him like a well-set axe for brilliance. He goes shaking through the high and low winds; may he hold the embryo among these worlds.
3.2.11
स जि॑न्वते ज॒ठरे॑षु प्रजज्ञि॒वान्वृषा॑ चि॒त्रेषु॒ नान॑द॒न्न सिं॒हः ।
वै॒श्वा॒न॒रः पृ॑थु॒पाजा॒ अम॑र्त्यो॒ वसु॒ रत्ना॒ दय॑मानो॒ वि दा॒शुषे॑ ॥
He is roused in the wombs; having been born he is a bull, roaring among the brightnesses like a lion. Vaiśvānara, broad-shining and immortal, distributes treasures and jewels, giving apart to the giver.
3.2.12
वै॒श्वा॒न॒रः प्र॒त्नथा॒ नाक॒मारु॑हद्दि॒वस्पृ॒ष्ठं भन्द॑मानः सु॒मन्म॑भिः ।
स पू॑र्व॒वज्ज॒नय॑ञ्ज॒न्तवे॒ धनं॑ समा॒नमज्मं॒ पर्ये॑ति॒ जागृ॑विः ॥
Vaiśvānara, as of old, ascended to heaven, shining on the back of the sky with good minds. He himself, generating common wealth for creatures as before, goes about watchful.
3.2.13
ऋ॒तावा॑नं य॒ज्ञियं॒ विप्र॑मु॒क्थ्य॑मा यं द॒धे मा॑त॒रिश्वा॑ दि॒वि क्षय॑म् ।
तं चि॒त्रया॑मं॒ हरि॑केशमीमहे सुदी॒तिम॒ग्निं सु॑वि॒ताय॒ नव्य॑से ॥
We implore the bright, tawny-haired Agni, the truthful one worthy of sacrifice, the wise and praiseworthy, whom Mātariśvan established as his dwelling in heaven, for welfare and for new gain.
3.2.14
शुचिं॒ न याम॑न्निषि॒रं स्व॒र्दृशं॑ के॒तुं दि॒वो रो॑चन॒स्थामु॑ष॒र्बुध॑म् ।
अ॒ग्निं मू॒र्धानं॑ दि॒वो अप्र॑तिष्कुतं॒ तमी॑महे॒ नम॑सा वा॒जिनं॑ बृ॒हत् ॥
We implore with homage the pure Agni, active in the course of the sacrifice, sun-beholding, a banner of light abiding in the brightness of heaven, waking at dawn, the head of the sky, unopposed, strong and great.
3.2.15
म॒न्द्रं होता॑रं॒ शुचि॒मद्व॑याविनं॒ दमू॑नसमु॒क्थ्यं॑ वि॒श्वच॑र्षणिम् ।
रथं॒ न चि॒त्रं वपु॑षाय दर्श॒तं मनु॑र्हितं॒ सद॒मिद्रा॒य ई॑महे ॥
We implore Agni for wealth — the joyful invoker, pure and undivided, lord of the house, worthy of praise, all-seeing; like a shining chariot, radiant and visible for beauty, seated in the place set by Manu.
