3.4.1
स॒मित्स॑मित्सु॒मना॑ बोध्य॒स्मे शु॒चाशु॑चा सुम॒तिं रा॑सि॒ वस्वः॑ ।
आ दे॑व दे॒वान्य॒जथा॑य वक्षि॒ सखा॒ सखी॑न्त्सु॒मना॑ यक्ष्यग्ने ॥
Agni, kindled again and again, be kindly to us and with your bright light bestow the good grace of wealth. O god, bring the gods here for sacrifice; as a friend, with a gladdened mind, perform worship for your friends, O Agni.
3.4.2
यं दे॒वास॒स्त्रिरह॑न्ना॒यज॑न्ते दि॒वेदि॑वे॒ वरु॑णो मि॒त्रो अ॒ग्निः ।
सेमं य॒ज्ञं मधु॑मन्तं कृधी न॒स्तनू॑नपाद्घृ॒तयो॑निं वि॒धन्त॑म् ॥
Whom the gods worship thrice daily in the sacrifice—Varuṇa, Mitra, and Agni—O son of the body, whose home is ghee, make this our sacrifice sweet, and gladden the ordainer.
3.4.3
प्र दीधि॑तिर्वि॒श्ववा॑रा जिगाति॒ होता॑रमि॒ळः प्र॑थ॒मं यज॑ध्यै ।
अच्छा॒ नमो॑भिर्वृष॒भं व॒न्दध्यै॒ स दे॒वान्य॑क्षदिषि॒तो यजी॑यान् ॥
His radiance, bringer of all wealth, advances toward the first priest of Iḍā for sacrifice. With homage, for praise, toward the bull—sent forth and most worthy of worship, may he worship the gods.
3.4.4
ऊ॒र्ध्वो वां॑ गा॒तुर॑ध्व॒रे अ॑कारि ऊ॒र्ध्वा शो॒चींषि॒ प्रस्थि॑ता॒ रजां॑सि ।
दि॒वो वा॒ नाभा॒ न्य॑सादि॒ होता॑ स्तृणी॒महि॑ दे॒वव्य॑चा॒ वि ब॒र्हिः ॥
O you two, your path has been raised up at the sacrifice; upright flames have been thrust out toward the worlds. In the navel of heaven the priest has sat down; we, who reveal the gods, spread out the sacred grass.
3.4.5
स॒प्त हो॒त्राणि॒ मन॑सा वृणा॒ना इन्व॑न्तो॒ विश्वं॒ प्रति॑ यन्नृ॒तेन॑ ।
नृ॒पेश॑सो वि॒दथे॑षु॒ प्र जा॒ता अ॒भी॑मं य॒ज्ञं वि च॑रन्त पू॒र्वीः ॥
Choosing the seven priestly offices with the mind, impelled, they attain all things by cosmic order. Lustrous of form, born in the hymns, the ancient ones move about toward this sacrifice.
3.4.6
आ भन्द॑माने उ॒षसा॒ उपा॑के उ॒त स्म॑येते त॒न्वा॑ विरू॑पे ।
यथा॑ नो मि॒त्रो वरु॑णो॒ जुजो॑ष॒दिन्द्रो॑ म॒रुत्वाँ॑ उ॒त वा॒ महो॑भिः ॥
The two shining Dawns draw near together, and, of different forms, they smile with their bodies. As Mitra and Varuṇa are gracious to us, so may Indra, with the Maruts, be gracious to us with his might.
3.4.7
दैव्या॒ होता॑रा प्रथ॒मा न्यृ॑ञ्जे स॒प्त पृ॒क्षासः॑ स्व॒धया॑ मदन्ति ।
ऋ॒तं शंस॑न्त ऋ॒तमित्त आ॑हु॒रनु॑ व्र॒तं व्र॑त॒पा दीध्या॑नाः ॥
I set down the two divine first hotars here; the seven spotted ones rejoice in their own svadhā. Praising cosmic order, they are called order itself; guardians of the sacred law, blazing, they move according to the law.
3.4.8
आ भार॑ती॒ भार॑तीभिः स॒जोषा॒ इळा॑ दे॒वैर्म॑नु॒ष्ये॑भिर॒ग्निः ।
सर॑स्वती सारस्व॒तेभि॑र॒र्वाक्ति॒स्रो दे॒वीर्ब॒र्हिरेदं स॑दन्तु ॥
May Bhāratī come hither with the Bhāratīs; may the harmonious Iḷā come with gods and men, and Agni too. May Sarasvatī come hither with the Sārasvatas; may the three goddesses sit down upon this sacred grass.
3.4.9
तन्न॑स्तु॒रीप॒मध॑ पोषयि॒त्नु देव॑ त्वष्ट॒र्वि र॑रा॒णः स्य॑स्व ।
यतो॑ वी॒रः क॑र्म॒ण्यः॑ सु॒दक्षो॑ यु॒क्तग्रा॑वा॒ जाय॑ते दे॒वका॑मः ॥
O god Tvaṣṭar, grant us that nourishing abundance and pour it out widely, so that a hero, active in deeds, skilled, with yoked pressing-stones, desiring the gods, may be born.
3.4.10
वन॑स्प॒तेऽव॑ सृ॒जोप॑ दे॒वान॒ग्निर्ह॒विः श॑मि॒ता सू॑दयाति ।
सेदु॒ होता॑ स॒त्यत॑रो यजाति॒ यथा॑ दे॒वानां॒ जनि॑मानि॒ वेद॑ ॥
O lord of the forest, send the gods down and near; may Agni the sacrificer make the oblation flow. May that very hotar, truer than the true, sacrifice, so that he knows the births of the gods.
3.4.11
आ या॑ह्यग्ने समिधा॒नो अ॒र्वाङिन्द्रे॑ण दे॒वैः स॒रथं॑ तु॒रेभिः॑ ।
ब॒र्हिर्न॑ आस्ता॒मदि॑तिः सुपु॒त्रा स्वाहा॑ दे॒वा अ॒मृता॑ मादयन्ताम् ॥
Come hither, O Agni, kindled, with Indra and the gods, in one chariot, with the swift ones. Upon our sacred grass may Aditi, rich in good sons, take her seat; hail, svāhā — may the immortal gods rejoice.
