3.9.1
सखा॑यस्त्वा ववृमहे दे॒वं मर्ता॑स ऊ॒तये॑ ।
अ॒पां नपा॑तं सु॒भगं॑ सु॒दीदि॑तिं सु॒प्रतू॑र्तिमने॒हस॑म् ॥
Friends, we mortals choose you, the god, for help: the grandson of the waters, auspicious, brightly shining, forward in aid, faultless.
3.9.2
काय॑मानो व॒ना त्वं यन्मा॒तॄरज॑गन्न॒पः ।
न तत्ते॑ अग्ने प्र॒मृषे॑ नि॒वर्त॑नं॒ यद्दू॒रे सन्नि॒हाभ॑वः ॥
While growing in the forest you went to the mothers and the waters; Agni, that is no harmful returning for you, that you were here though being far away.
3.9.3
अति॑ तृ॒ष्टं व॑वक्षि॒थाथै॒व सु॒मना॑ असि ।
प्रप्रा॒न्ये यन्ति॒ पर्य॒न्य आ॑सते॒ येषां॑ स॒ख्ये असि॑ श्रि॒तः ॥
You have passed beyond the mighty; thus you are well-minded. Others go forward, others sit around, in whose friendship you are resorted to.
3.9.4
ई॒यि॒वांस॒मति॒ स्रिधः॒ शश्व॑ती॒रति॑ स॒श्चतः॑ ।
अन्वी॑मविन्दन्निचि॒रासो॑ अ॒द्रुहो॑ अ॒प्सु सिं॒हमि॑व श्रि॒तम् ॥
Having gone beyond the eternal powers and the creeping waters, the long-standing, undeceiving men found him, resorted to in the waters like a lion.
3.9.5
स॒सृ॒वांस॑मिव॒ त्मना॒ग्निमि॒त्था ति॒रोहि॑तम् ।
ऐनं॑ नयन्मात॒रिश्वा॑ परा॒वतो॑ दे॒वेभ्यो॑ मथि॒तं परि॑ ॥
Like one who has gone of his own accord, so Agni, hidden thus: Matarishvan brought him from afar for the gods, churned out from the friction.
3.9.6
तं त्वा॒ मर्ता॑ अगृभ्णत दे॒वेभ्यो॑ हव्यवाहन ।
विश्वा॒न्यद्य॒ज्ञाँ अ॑भि॒पासि॑ मानुष॒ तव॒ क्रत्वा॑ यविष्ठ्य ॥
Mortals seized you for the gods, O bearer of oblations; for you protect all the sacrifices, O man-like one, by your wisdom, O youngest.
3.9.7
तद्भ॒द्रं तव॑ दं॒सना॒ पाका॑य चिच्छदयति ।
त्वां यद॑ग्ने प॒शवः॑ स॒मास॑ते॒ समि॑द्धमपिशर्व॒रे ॥
O Agni, when the cattle gather around you blazing well in the dark night, your auspicious gift also shelters the cooked offering.
3.9.8
आ जु॑होता स्वध्व॒रं शी॒रं पा॑व॒कशो॑चिषम् ।
आ॒शुं दू॒तम॑जि॒रं प्र॒त्नमीड्यं॑ श्रु॒ष्टी दे॒वं स॑पर्यत ॥
Offer here, for the well-made sacrifice, to Agni of pure flaming light, the swift messenger, the ancient and laudable god: serve him with praise.
3.9.9
त्रीणि॑ श॒ता त्री स॒हस्रा॑ण्य॒ग्निं त्रिं॒शच्च॑ दे॒वा नव॑ चासपर्यन् ।
औक्ष॑न्घृ॒तैरस्तृ॑णन्ब॒र्हिर॑स्मै॒ आदिद्धोता॑रं॒ न्य॑सादयन्त ॥
Three hundred and three thousand, and thirty-three gods, and nine gods served Agni; they anointed him with ghee, spread the sacred grass for him, and then seated the invoking priest.
