6.9.1
अह॑श्च कृ॒ष्णमह॒रर्जु॑नं च॒ वि व॑र्तेते॒ रज॑सी वे॒द्याभिः॑ ।
वै॒श्वा॒न॒रो जाय॑मानो॒ न राजावा॑तिर॒ज्ज्योति॑षा॒ग्निस्तमां॑सि ॥
Day and night, the dark and the bright, the two worlds turn with those who know. Born as Vaiśvānara, Agni, like a king, crossed over the darknesses with light.
6.9.2
नाहं तन्तुं॒ न वि जा॑ना॒म्योतुं॒ न यं वय॑न्ति सम॒रेऽत॑मानाः ।
कस्य॑ स्वित्पु॒त्र इ॒ह वक्त्वा॑नि प॒रो व॑दा॒त्यव॑रेण पि॒त्रा ॥
I know neither the thread nor the weaving that they weave in the contest, striving for it. Whose son here speaks words? The son below the father speaks of what is beyond.
6.9.3
स इत्तन्तुं॒ स वि जा॑ना॒त्योतुं॒ स वक्त्वा॑न्यृतु॒था व॑दाति ।
य ईं॒ चिके॑तद॒मृत॑स्य गो॒पा अ॒वश्चर॑न्प॒रो अ॒न्येन॒ पश्य॑न् ॥
He indeed knows the thread, he knows the weaving, he speaks words in due order. Whoever has perceived him, the guardian of the immortal, moving below, sees beyond by another.
6.9.4
अ॒यं होता॑ प्रथ॒मः पश्य॑ते॒ममि॒दं ज्योति॑र॒मृतं॒ मर्त्ये॑षु ।
अ॒यं स ज॑ज्ञे ध्रु॒व आ निष॒त्तोऽम॑र्त्यस्त॒न्वा॑ वर्ध॑मानः ॥
Behold this first priest; here among mortals is this immortal light. He was born, and sat firmly; this immortal grows in his body.
6.9.5
ध्रु॒वं ज्योति॒र्निहि॑तं दृ॒शये॒ कं मनो॒ जवि॑ष्ठं प॒तय॑त्स्व॒न्तः ।
विश्वे॑ दे॒वाः सम॑नसः॒ सके॑ता॒ एकं॒ क्रतु॑म॒भि वि य॑न्ति सा॒धु ॥
A fixed light has been placed for seeing, swiftest as the mind, within the things that fly. All the gods, of one mind and one place, go toward the one good purpose.
6.9.6
वि मे॒ कर्णा॑ पतयतो॒ वि चक्षु॒र्वी॑दं ज्योति॒र्हृद॑य॒ आहि॑तं॒ यत् ।
वि मे॒ मन॑श्चरति दू॒रआ॑धीः॒ किं स्वि॑द्व॒क्ष्यामि॒ किमु॒ नू म॑निष्ये ॥
My ears fly apart, my eye goes apart, and so too this light placed in the heart. My mind wanders far-reaching. What indeed shall I speak? What shall I now think?
6.9.7
विश्वे॑ दे॒वा अ॑नमस्यन्भिया॒नास्त्वाम॑ग्ने॒ तम॑सि तस्थि॒वांस॑म् ।
वै॒श्वा॒न॒रो॑ऽवतू॒तये॒ नोऽम॑र्त्योऽवतू॒तये॑ नः ॥
O Agni, standing in the darkness, all the gods bowed down to you in fear. May Vaiśvānara protect us for our help; may the immortal one protect us for our help.
