4.4.1
कृ॒णु॒ष्व पाजः॒ प्रसि॑तिं॒ न पृ॒थ्वीं या॒हि राजे॒वाम॑वाँ॒ इभे॑न ।
तृ॒ष्वीमनु॒ प्रसि॑तिं द्रूणा॒नो अस्ता॑सि॒ विध्य॑ र॒क्षस॒स्तपि॑ष्ठैः ॥
O Agni, make strength ready like a wide path; come like a king with your mighty companion. Becoming swift, pursue and press on; pierce the demons with your sharpest weapons.
4.4.2
तव॑ भ्र॒मास॑ आशु॒या प॑तन्ति॒ अनु॑ स्पृश धृष॒ता शोशु॑चानः ।
तपूं॑ष्यग्ने जु॒ह्वा॑ पतं॒गानसं॑दितो॒ वि सृ॑ज॒ विष्व॑गु॒ल्काः ॥
Your whirling flames fall swiftly; bold and blazing, touch from behind. O Agni, with your tongue of flame, hurl the scorching moths scattered on every side like sparks, unrestrained.
4.4.3
प्रति॒ स्पशो॒ वि सृ॑ज॒ तूर्णि॑तमो॒ भवा॑ पा॒युर्वि॒शो अ॒स्या अद॑ब्धः ।
यो नो॑ दू॒रे अ॒घशं॑सो॒ यो अन्ति॒ अग्ने॒ माकि॑ष्टे॒ व्यथि॒रा द॑धर्षीत् ॥
Against the nets of enemies, loose the snares; become most swift, guardian of your people, unharmed. O Agni, may your pain never fall upon the one who wishes harm, whether from far or near.
4.4.4
उद॑ग्ने तिष्ठ॒ प्रत्या त॑नुष्व॒ न्य॑मित्राँ॑ ओषतात्तिग्महेते ।
यो नो॒ अरा॑तिं समिधान च॒क्रे नी॒चा तं ध॑क्ष्यत॒सं न शुष्क॑म् ॥
O Agni, rise up, spread forth and burn the enemies down, O sharp-flamed Tigmahete. Him who has made hostility against us, cast him down and burn him like dry grass.
4.4.5
ऊ॒र्ध्वो भ॑व॒ प्रति॑ वि॒ध्याध्य॒स्मदा॒विष्कृ॑णुष्व॒ दैव्या॑न्यग्ने ।
अव॑ स्थि॒रा त॑नुहि यातु॒जूनां॑ जा॒मिमजा॑मिं॒ प्र मृ॑णीहि॒ शत्रू॑न् ॥
O Agni, rise high; pierce the enemy and keep him away from us. O Agni, reveal the divine deeds; draw down the firm strength of the sorcerers, cut off both kin and not-kin, and crush the foes.
4.4.6
स ते॑ जानाति सुम॒तिं य॑विष्ठ॒ य ईव॑ते॒ ब्रह्म॑णे गा॒तुमैर॑त् ।
विश्वा॑न्यस्मै सु॒दिना॑नि रा॒यो द्यु॒म्नान्य॒र्यो वि दुरो॑ अ॒भि द्यौ॑त् ॥
He who sends the path for the hymn, O youngest one, knows your favor. For him the auspicious days and the brilliant gifts of wealth appear; Dawn shines, opening the doors.
4.4.7
सेद॑ग्ने अस्तु सु॒भगः॑ सु॒दानु॒र्यस्त्वा॒ नित्ये॑न ह॒विषा॒ य उ॒क्थैः ।
पिप्री॑षति॒ स्व आयु॑षि दुरो॒णे विश्वेद॑स्मै सु॒दिना॒ सास॑दि॒ष्टिः ॥
O Agni, may he be fortunate and a generous giver who wishes to delight you with constant oblation and with praises. In his own life and in his house may all days be auspicious, and may his desired wish be fulfilled.
4.4.8
अर्चा॑मि ते सुम॒तिं घोष्य॒र्वाक्सं ते॑ वा॒वाता॑ जरतामि॒यं गीः ।
स्वश्वा॑स्त्वा सु॒रथा॑ मर्जयेमा॒स्मे क्ष॒त्राणि॑ धारये॒रनु॒ द्यून् ॥
I praise your good will; O Agni, come hither and resound. May this song be sung together for you. Possessing good horses and good chariots, may we gladden you; and day after day, uphold strength for us.
4.4.9
इ॒ह त्वा॒ भूर्या च॑रे॒दुप॒ त्मन्दोषा॑वस्तर्दीदि॒वांस॒मनु॒ द्यून् ।
क्रीळ॑न्तस्त्वा सु॒मन॑सः सपेमा॒भि द्यु॒म्ना त॑स्थि॒वांसो॒ जना॑नाम् ॥
May many come near to you here, O dweller in the house, shining day after day. Playing and gladdened in heart, may we abide with you and stand near the splendours of men.
4.4.10
यस्त्वा॒ स्वश्वः॑ सुहिर॒ण्यो अ॑ग्न उप॒याति॒ वसु॑मता॒ रथे॑न ।
तस्य॑ त्रा॒ता भ॑वसि॒ तस्य॒ सखा॒ यस्त॑ आति॒थ्यमा॑नु॒षग्जुजो॑षत् ॥
He who comes to you, O Agni, with good horses and good gold, with a wealthy chariot — you become his protector and his friend, him who in due order enjoys your hospitality.
4.4.11
म॒हो रु॑जामि ब॒न्धुता॒ वचो॑भि॒स्तन्मा॑ पि॒तुर्गोत॑मा॒दन्वि॑याय ।
त्वं नो॑ अ॒स्य वच॑सश्चिकिद्धि॒ होत॑र्यविष्ठ सुक्रतो॒ दमू॑नाः ॥
With great kinship-bond I break through by words; it came to me after my father, after Gotama. Take heed of this speech of ours, O Hotar, youngest, O Agni of good purpose, O subduer.
4.4.12
अस्व॑प्नजस्त॒रण॑यः सु॒शेवा॒ अत॑न्द्रासोऽवृ॒का अश्र॑मिष्ठाः ।
ते पा॒यवः॑ स॒ध्र्य॑ञ्चो नि॒षद्याग्ने॒ तव॑ नः पान्त्वमूर ॥
The sleepless-born, the ferrying guardians, well-dwelling, unwearied, not wolfish, tireless — those companions of yours have sat down together. May they protect us, O Agni; protect us, O immortal one.
4.4.13
ये पा॒यवो॑ मामते॒यं ते॑ अग्ने॒ पश्य॑न्तो अ॒न्धं दु॑रि॒तादर॑क्षन् ।
र॒रक्ष॒ तान्त्सु॒कृतो॑ वि॒श्ववे॑दा॒ दिप्स॑न्त॒ इद्रि॒पवो॒ नाह॑ देभुः ॥
O Agni, the guardians who, watching in the dark, protected your stolen wealth from peril — those well-doers the all-knowing one protected; the enemies, eager to harm, did them no harm at all.
4.4.14
त्वया॑ व॒यं स॑ध॒न्य॑स्त्वोता॒स्तव॒ प्रणी॑त्यश्याम॒ वाजा॑न् ।
उ॒भा शंसा॑ सूदय सत्यताते अनुष्ठु॒या कृ॑णुह्यह्रयाण ॥
With your help may we, sharers in wealth, obtain prizes through your guidance. O truthful one, stir up both praises; O unfailing one, make them firm with the anuṣṭubh verse.
4.4.15
अ॒या ते॑ अग्ने स॒मिधा॑ विधेम॒ प्रति॒ स्तोमं॑ श॒स्यमा॑नं गृभाय ।
दहा॒शसो॑ र॒क्षसः॑ पा॒ह्य॑स्मान्द्रु॒हो नि॒दो मि॑त्रमहो अव॒द्यात् ॥
With this kindling wood, O Agni, may we worship you; accept the praise being recited. Burn the unfriendly demons; O friend-honoring one, protect us from the malicious, the slanderer, and the reproachable.
