6.8.1
पृ॒क्षस्य॒ वृष्णो॑ अरु॒षस्य॒ नू सहः॒ प्र नु वो॑चं वि॒दथा॑ जा॒तवे॑दसः ।
वै॒श्वा॒न॒राय॑ म॒तिर्नव्य॑सी॒ शुचिः॒ सोम॑ इव पवते॒ चारु॑र॒ग्नये॑ ॥
I now declare the strength of the bull and ruddy Agni, and praise the rites of Jātavedas. For Vaiśvānara a new, pure, lovely hymn flows like Soma.
6.8.2
स जाय॑मानः पर॒मे व्यो॑मनि व्र॒तान्य॒ग्निर्व्र॑त॒पा अ॑रक्षत ।
व्य॑न्तरि॑क्षममिमीत सु॒क्रतु॑र्वैश्वान॒रो म॑हि॒ना नाक॑मस्पृशत् ॥
Just born, in the highest realm he guarded the sacred laws; Agni is the guardian of the orders. Wise Vaiśvānara measured out the midspace, and by his greatness touched heaven.
6.8.3
व्य॑स्तभ्ना॒द्रोद॑सी मि॒त्रो अद्भु॑तो अन्त॒र्वाव॑दकृणो॒ज्ज्योति॑षा॒ तमः॑ ।
वि चर्म॑णीव धि॒षणे॑ अवर्तयद्वैश्वान॒रो विश्व॑मधत्त॒ वृष्ण्य॑म् ॥
The wondrous Mitra held the two worlds apart; with light he made darkness as if inward. As one stretches a hide, Vaiśvānara spread out the two realms; Vaiśvānara bore all things with bull-like might.
6.8.4
अ॒पामु॒पस्थे॑ महि॒षा अ॑गृभ्णत॒ विशो॒ राजा॑न॒मुप॑ तस्थुर्ऋ॒ग्मिय॑म् ।
आ दू॒तो अ॒ग्निम॑भरद्वि॒वस्व॑तो वैश्वान॒रं मा॑त॒रिश्वा॑ परा॒वतः॑ ॥
In the lap of the waters the mighty ones took hold of him; the peoples stood near the king worthy of hymns. As messenger, Mātariśvan brought Vaiśvānara Agni from afar, from Vivasvat.
6.8.5
यु॒गेयु॑गे विद॒थ्यं॑ गृ॒णद्भ्योऽग्ने॑ र॒यिं य॒शसं॑ धेहि॒ नव्य॑सीम् ।
प॒व्येव॑ राजन्न॒घशं॑समजर नी॒चा नि वृ॑श्च व॒निनं॒ न तेज॑सा ॥
In every age, O Agni, grant us new wealth and glory, worthy of praise for those who sing. O king, O ageless one, cast down the evil-speaker with your brilliance, as one fells a tree-cutter.
6.8.6
अ॒स्माक॑मग्ने म॒घव॑त्सु धार॒याना॑मि क्ष॒त्रम॒जरं॑ सु॒वीर्य॑म् ।
व॒यं ज॑येम श॒तिनं॑ सह॒स्रिणं॒ वैश्वा॑नर॒ वाज॑मग्ने॒ तवो॒तिभिः॑ ॥
O Agni, among the bountiful patrons hold strength for us; bear undecaying kingly power of good heroism. O Vaiśvānara Agni, by your protections may we win the spoils a hundredfold and a thousandfold.
6.8.7
अद॑ब्धेभि॒स्तव॑ गो॒पाभि॑रिष्टे अ॒स्माकं॑ पाहि त्रिषधस्थ सू॒रीन् ।
रक्षा॑ च नो द॒दुषां॒ शर्धो॑ अग्ने॒ वैश्वा॑नर॒ प्र च॑ तारी॒ स्तवा॑नः ॥
O Agni, standing in three seats, protect our seers with your unharmed guardians. O Vaisvanara Agni, keep the assault of the givers far from us, and carry us across, we who praise you.
