3.20.1
अ॒ग्निमु॒षस॑म॒श्विना॑ दधि॒क्रां व्यु॑ष्टिषु हवते॒ वह्नि॑रु॒क्थैः ।
सु॒ज्योति॑षो नः शृण्वन्तु दे॒वाः स॒जोष॑सो अध्व॒रं वा॑वशा॒नाः ॥
The bearer Agni calls Uṣas, the Aśvins and Dadhikrā at the breaking of dawn with hymns. May the bright-flamed gods, united and desiring the sacrifice, hear us.
3.20.2
अग्ने॒ त्री ते॒ वाजि॑ना॒ त्री ष॒धस्था॑ ति॒स्रस्ते॑ जि॒ह्वा ऋ॑तजात पू॒र्वीः ।
ति॒स्र उ॑ ते त॒न्वो॑ दे॒ववा॑ता॒स्ताभि॑र्नः पाहि॒ गिरो॒ अप्र॑युच्छन् ॥
O Agni, your powers are three and your seats are three; born of truth, your tongues are three, and your many ancient tongues as well. Your god-loving bodies are three; with them protect our unfailing songs.
3.20.3
अग्ने॒ भूरी॑णि॒ तव॑ जातवेदो॒ देव॑ स्वधावो॒ऽमृत॑स्य॒ नाम॑ ।
याश्च॑ मा॒या मा॒यिनां॑ विश्वमिन्व॒ त्वे पू॒र्वीः सं॑द॒धुः पृ॑ष्टबन्धो ॥
O Agni, your names are many, names of immortality. O knower of all births, O god, O possessor of strength, O spotted-bound one! All the illusions and the magicians' magic, O all-invigorator, were set in you of old.
3.20.4
अ॒ग्निर्ने॒ता भग॑ इव क्षिती॒नां दैवी॑नां दे॒व ऋ॑तु॒पा ऋ॒तावा॑ ।
स वृ॑त्र॒हा स॒नयो॑ वि॒श्ववे॑दाः॒ पर्ष॒द्विश्वाति॑ दुरि॒ता गृ॒णन्त॑म् ॥
Agni is the leader, like the Bhaga of the earths; god of the divine peoples, observer of the seasons, lawful. He is the slayer of Vṛtra, the giver of wealth, all-knowing; may he carry the praiser across all troubles.
3.20.5
द॒धि॒क्राम॒ग्निमु॒षसं॑ च दे॒वीं बृह॒स्पतिं॑ सवि॒तारं॑ च दे॒वम् ।
अ॒श्विना॑ मि॒त्रावरु॑णा॒ भगं॑ च॒ वसू॑न्रु॒द्राँ आ॑दि॒त्याँ इ॒ह हु॑वे ॥
Dadhikrā, Agni, and the goddess Uṣas; Bṛhaspati and the god Savitṛ; the Aśvins, Mitra and Varuṇa, and Bhaga; the Vasus, the Rudras and the Ādityas — here I call upon them.
