5.1.1
अबो॑ध्य॒ग्निः स॒मिधा॒ जना॑नां॒ प्रति॑ धे॒नुमि॑वाय॒तीमु॒षास॑म् ।
य॒ह्वा इ॑व॒ प्र व॒यामु॒ज्जिहा॑नाः॒ प्र भा॒नवः॑ सिस्रते॒ नाक॒मच्छ॑ ॥
Agni was awakened by the kindling of men; he moves toward Dawn, who comes like a cow. Like birds spreading their wings and rising, the rays stretch out toward the sky.
5.1.2
अबो॑धि॒ होता॑ य॒जथा॑य दे॒वानू॒र्ध्वो अ॒ग्निः सु॒मनाः॑ प्रा॒तर॑स्थात् ।
समि॑द्धस्य॒ रुश॑ददर्शि॒ पाजो॑ म॒हान्दे॒वस्तम॑सो॒ निर॑मोचि ॥
Agni, the invoker, was awakened to call the gods to the sacrifice; rising up, of gracious mind, he stood at dawn. The brilliance of the kindled fire appeared; the great god came forth from darkness.
5.1.3
यदी॑ं ग॒णस्य॑ रश॒नामजी॑गः॒ शुचि॑रङ्क्ते॒ शुचि॑भि॒र्गोभि॑र॒ग्निः ।
आद्दक्षि॑णा युज्यते वाज॒यन्ती॑ उत्ता॒नामू॒र्ध्वो अ॑धयज्जु॒हूभिः॑ ॥
When pure Agni loosens the tether of the troop, he is adorned with bright rays and with cows. Then the gift that seeks strength is yoked, and the high Agni sets it down on the spread altar with the ladles.
5.1.4
अ॒ग्निमच्छा॑ देवय॒तां मनां॑सि॒ चक्षूं॑षीव॒ सूर्ये॒ सं च॑रन्ति ।
यदी॒ं सुवा॑ते उ॒षसा॒ विरू॑पे श्वे॒तो वा॒जी जा॑यते॒ अग्रे॒ अह्ना॑म् ॥
The minds of those who strive for the gods turn toward Agni, as eyes turn to the sun. When the two Dawns of differing forms bring him forth, the white, strong Agni is born at the beginning of the days.
5.1.5
जनि॑ष्ट॒ हि जेन्यो॒ अग्रे॒ अह्नां॑ हि॒तो हि॒तेष्व॑रु॒षो वने॑षु ।
दमे॑दमे स॒प्त रत्ना॒ दधा॑नो अ॒ग्निर्होता॒ नि ष॑सादा॒ यजी॑यान् ॥
Agni was born first at the beginning of the days, dear among the dear, ruddy in the forests. The invoker Agni, bearing seven treasures in every house, took his seat, most worthy of worship among the worthy.
5.1.6
अ॒ग्निर्होता॒ न्य॑सीद॒द्यजी॑यानु॒पस्थे॑ मा॒तुः सु॑र॒भा उ॑लो॒के ।
युवा॑ क॒विः पु॑रुनि॒ष्ठ ऋ॒तावा॑ ध॒र्ता कृ॑ष्टी॒नामु॒त मध्य॑ इ॒द्धः ॥
Agni, the invoker, most worthy of worship, sat down in the lap of the mother, in the fragrant dwelling. Young, the wise seer, much desired, upholder of cosmic order, bearer of the peoples, kindled in the middle.
5.1.7
प्र णु त्यं विप्र॑मध्व॒रेषु॑ सा॒धुम॒ग्निं होता॑रमीळते॒ नमो॑भिः ।
आ यस्त॒तान॒ रोद॑सी ऋ॒तेन॒ नित्यं॑ मृजन्ति वा॒जिनं॑ घृ॒तेन॑ ॥
The wise priest Agni, skilled in the rites, is praised by them with reverent bows. He who by the cosmic order has spread out the two worlds, heaven and earth, they constantly cleanse with ghee; he is the strong one.
5.1.8
मा॒र्जा॒ल्यो॑ मृज्यते॒ स्वे दमू॑नाः कविप्रश॒स्तो अति॑थिः शि॒वो नः॑ ।
स॒हस्र॑शृङ्गो वृष॒भस्तदो॑जा॒ विश्वाँ॑ अग्ने॒ सह॑सा॒ प्रास्य॒न्यान् ॥
Agni, self-purifying, is cleansed in his own abode; he is the dweller in the house, praised by the seers, a guest, kindly toward us. O thousand-horned bull of mighty strength, Agni, by your might you overcome all others.
5.1.9
प्र स॒द्यो अ॑ग्ने॒ अत्ये॑ष्य॒न्याना॒विर्यस्मै॒ चारु॑तमो ब॒भूथ॑ ।
ई॒ळेन्यो॑ वपु॒ष्यो॑ वि॒भावा॑ प्रि॒यो वि॒शामति॑थि॒र्मानु॑षीणाम् ॥
O Agni, you swiftly pass beyond the others; for him to whom you have appeared most beautiful, the praiseworthy, shining, radiant, beloved one — you are the guest of the human clans.
5.1.10
तुभ्यं॑ भरन्ति क्षि॒तयो॑ यविष्ठ ब॒लिम॑ग्ने॒ अन्ति॑त॒ ओत दू॒रात् ।
आ भन्दि॑ष्ठस्य सुम॒तिं चि॑किद्धि बृ॒हत्ते॑ अग्ने॒ महि॒ शर्म॑ भ॒द्रम् ॥
O youngest Agni, the settlements bring offerings to you, whether from near or from far; awaken the favour of the most splendid one. O Agni, your shelter is great and blessed.
5.1.11
आद्य रथं॑ भानुमो भानु॒मन्त॒मग्ने॒ तिष्ठ॑ यज॒तेभिः॒ सम॑न्तम् ।
वि॒द्वान्प॑थी॒नामु॒र्व॑न्तरि॑क्ष॒मेह दे॒वान्ह॑वि॒रद्या॑य वक्षि ॥
O radiant Agni, come today upon your shining chariot, and stand joined with the worshipful gods; knowing the paths, crossing the wide atmosphere, bring the gods hither today for the feast of the oblation.
5.1.12
अवो॑चाम क॒वये॒ मेध्या॑य॒ वचो॑ व॒न्दारु॑ वृष॒भाय॒ वृष्णे॑ ।
गवि॑ष्ठिरो॒ नम॑सा॒ स्तोम॑म॒ग्नौ दि॒वी॑व रु॒क्ममु॑रु॒व्यञ्च॑मश्रेत् ॥
For the wise and sacred Agni, for that vigorous bull, we have spoken the worshipful word. Gaviṣṭhira with reverence has brought the praise-hymn to Agni, as a golden ornament spreads far across the sky.
