5.2.1
कु॒मा॒रं मा॒ता यु॑व॒तिः समु॑ब्धं॒ गुहा॑ बिभर्ति॒ न द॑दाति पि॒त्रे ।
अनी॑कमस्य॒ न मि॒नज्जना॑सः पु॒रः प॑श्यन्ति॒ निहि॑तमर॒तौ ॥
The young mother holds this youth closely within; she does not give him to the father. People do not harm his flame; they see him set before them, placed in the unaging realm.
5.2.2
कमे॒तं त्वं यु॑वते कुमा॒रं पेषी॑ बिभर्षि॒ महि॑षी जजान ।
पू॒र्वीर्हि गर्भः॑ श॒रदो॑ व॒वर्धाप॑श्यं जा॒तं यदसू॑त मा॒ता ॥
O young woman, how do you hold this youth? The grinding great queen bore him. The embryo grew through many autumns; I saw him when the mother gave birth to the one who was born.
5.2.3
हिर॑ण्यदन्तं॒ शुचि॑वर्णमा॒रात्क्षेत्रा॑दपश्य॒मायु॑धा॒ मिमा॑नम् ।
द॒दा॒नो अ॑स्मा अ॒मृतं॑ वि॒पृक्व॒त्किं माम॑नि॒न्द्राः कृ॑णवन्ननु॒क्थाः ॥
From afar, from the field, I saw the gold-toothed, bright-colored one forming his weapons, giving him an immortal, well-ripened gift. What can the non-Indra-worshipers and the hymnless do to me?
5.2.4
क्षेत्रा॑दपश्यं सनु॒तश्चर॑न्तं सु॒मद्यू॒थं न पु॒रु शोभ॑मानम् ।
न ता अ॑गृभ्र॒न्नज॑निष्ट॒ हि षः पलि॑क्नी॒रिद्यु॑व॒तयो॑ भवन्ति ॥
From the field I saw him wandering, like a joyful herd, shining brightly. They did not seize him; he had been born. Indeed, those who were gray-haired become young women.
5.2.5
के मे॑ मर्य॒कं वि य॑वन्त॒ गोभि॒र्न येषां॑ गो॒पा अर॑णश्चि॒दास॑ ।
य ईं॑ जगृ॒भुरव॒ ते सृ॑जन्तु॒ आजा॑ति प॒श्व उप॑ नश्चिकि॒त्वान् ॥
Let them release my wild one along with the cows, as those whose herdsman was unhindered. Let those who seized him let him go; let the knower of cattle come toward us.
5.2.6
व॒सां राजा॑नं वस॒तिं जना॑ना॒मरा॑तयो॒ नि द॑धु॒र्मर्त्ये॑षु ।
ब्रह्मा॒ण्यत्रे॒रव॒ तं सृ॑जन्तु निन्दि॒तारो॒ निन्द्या॑सो भवन्तु ॥
The enemies placed down among mortals the king of the riches, the lord of dwellings. May the prayers of Atri release him; may the reviled enemies become reviled.
5.2.7
शुन॑श्चि॒च्छेपं॒ निदि॑तं स॒हस्रा॒द्यूपा॑दमुञ्चो॒ अश॑मिष्ट॒ हि षः ।
ए॒वास्मद॑ग्ने॒ वि मु॑मुग्धि॒ पाशा॒न्होत॑श्चिकित्व इ॒ह तू नि॒षद्य॑ ॥
As you released Śunaśśepa, bound to a thousand posts, so, O Agni, O Hotar, O knowing one, loosen the snares far from us; come and sit down here.
5.2.8
हृ॒णी॒यमा॑नो॒ अप॒ हि मदैयेः॒ प्र मे॑ दे॒वानां॑ व्रत॒पा उ॑वाच ।
इन्द्रो॑ वि॒द्वाँ अनु॒ हि त्वा॑ च॒चक्ष॒ तेना॒हम॑ग्ने॒ अनु॑शिष्ट॒ आगा॑म् ॥
Though you went away from me, O Agni, the praised one, the keeper of the gods' vows, has spoken to me; Indra, knowing, sees you, and instructed by him I have come hither.
5.2.9
वि ज्योति॑षा बृह॒ता भा॑त्य॒ग्निरा॒विर्विश्वा॑नि कृणुते महि॒त्वा ।
प्रादे॑वीर्मा॒याः स॑हते दु॒रेवाः॒ शिशी॑ते॒ शृङ्गे॒ रक्ष॑से वि॒निक्षे॑ ॥
Agni shines forth with his great light and by his greatness makes all things manifest; he overcomes the non-divine illusions, and sharpens his two horns for the destruction of the demon.
5.2.10
उ॒त स्वा॒नासो॑ दि॒वि ष॑न्त्व॒ग्नेस्ति॒ग्मायु॑धा॒ रक्ष॑से॒ हन्त॒वा उ॑ ।
मदे॑ चिदस्य॒ प्र रु॑जन्ति॒ भामा॒ न व॑रन्ते परि॒बाधो॒ अदे॑वीः ॥
Let his resounding sounds be in heaven; let Agni's sharp weapons slay the demon; in his exhilaration they strike indeed; the flames do not bend, and the non-divine obstructers turn back.
5.2.11
ए॒तं ते॒ स्तोमं॑ तुविजात॒ विप्रो॒ रथं॒ न धीरः॒ स्वपा॑ अतक्षम् ।
यदीद॑ग्ने॒ प्रति॒ त्वं दे॑व॒ हर्याः॒ स्व॑र्वतीर॒प ए॑ना जयेम ॥
This hymn to you, O Agni of many births, I have fashioned as a wise, inspired seer and skilled craftsman fashions a chariot; if you yoke your tawny steeds, O god Agni, may we win the sunlit waters by this.
5.2.12
तु॒वि॒ग्रीवो॑ वृष॒भो वा॑वृधा॒नोऽश॒त्र्व॑र्यः सम॑जाति॒ वेदः॒ इती॒मम॒ग्निम॒मृता॑ अवोचन् ।
ब॒र्हिष्म॑ते॒ मन॑वे॒ शर्म॑ यंसद्ह॒विष्म॑ते॒ मन॑वे॒ शर्म॑ यंसत् ॥
May he, strong-necked, a bull, growing, united with the foeless Ārya, attain wisdom; thus the immortals have praised this Agni; may he grant shelter to Manu who sits on sacred grass, may he grant shelter to Manu who offers oblations.
