7.3.1
अ॒ग्निं वो॑ दे॒वम॒ग्निभिः॑ स॒जोषा॒ यजि॑ष्ठं दू॒तम॑ध्व॒रे कृ॑णुध्वम् ।
यो मर्त्ये॑षु॒ निध्रु॑विर्ऋ॒तावा॒ तपु॑र्मूर्धा घृ॒तान्नः॑ पाव॒कः ॥
O people, join the fires and establish at the sacrifice Agni, the god most worthy of worship, the messenger. He is the one who stands firm among mortals, keeper of cosmic order, with a burning head, nourished with ghee, the purifier.
7.3.2
प्रोथ॒दश्वो॒ न यव॑सेऽवि॒ष्यन्य॒दा म॒हः सं॒वर॑णा॒द्व्यस्था॑त् ।
आद॑स्य॒ वातो॒ अनु॑ वाति शो॒चिरध॑ स्म ते॒ व्रज॑नं कृ॒ष्णम॑स्ति ॥
When he stood forth, apart from the great confinement, he leapt like a horse eager for fodder. Then the wind blows after him, the flame moves on; your course is dark.
7.3.3
उद्यस्य॑ ते॒ नव॑जातस्य॒ वृष्णोऽग्ने॒ चर॑न्त्य॒जरा॑ इधा॒नाः ।
अच्छा॒ द्याम॑रु॒षो धू॒म ए॑ति॒ सं दू॒तो अ॑ग्न॒ ईय॑से॒ हि दे॒वान् ॥
O Agni, when your newborn, bull-like force rises up, the ageless flames move onward. The reddish smoke goes toward heaven; O Agni, as messenger you truly go to the gods.
7.3.4
वि यस्य॑ ते पृथि॒व्यां पाजो॒ अश्रे॑त्तृ॒षु यदन्ना॑ स॒मवृ॑क्त॒ जम्भैः॑ ।
सेने॑व सृ॒ष्टा प्रसि॑तिष्ट एति॒ यवं॒ न द॑स्म जु॒ह्वा॑ विवेक्षि ॥
Your strength spread wide over the earth when you swiftly encircled the foods with your flame-jaws. Your banner-flame, sent forth like an army, advances; O wondrous one, like barley you enter the oblation, O Agni.
7.3.5
तमिद्दो॒षा तमु॒षसि॒ यवि॑ष्ठम॒ग्निमत्यं॒ न म॑र्जयन्त॒ नरः॑ ।
नि॒शिशा॑ना॒ अति॑थिमस्य॒ योनौ॑ दी॒दाय॑ शो॒चिराहु॑तस्य॒ वृष्णः॑ ॥
Men polished that youngest Agni at dusk and at dawn, as one polishes a swift horse. Purifying the guest in his own seat, the flame of that bull-like, offered Agni shone forth.
7.3.6
सु॒सं॒दृक्ते॑ स्वनीक॒ प्रती॑कं॒ वि यद्रु॒क्मो न रोच॑स उपा॒के ।
दि॒वो न ते॑ तन्य॒तुरे॑ति॒ शुष्म॑श्चि॒त्रो न सूरः॒ प्रति॑ चक्षि भा॒नुम् ॥
O fair-sounding one, your face is beautiful to behold when you shine near the sky like a golden ornament. Your thunder moves like the heavenly thunder; your might is like the brilliant sun. Look forward and spread light.
7.3.7
यथा॑ वः॒ स्वाहा॒ग्नये॒ दाशे॑म॒ परीळा॑भिर्घृ॒तव॑द्भिश्च ह॒व्यैः ।
तेभि॑र्नो अग्ने॒ अमि॑तै॒र्महो॑भिः श॒तं पू॒र्भिराय॑सीभि॒र्नि पा॑हि ॥
As we offer to you, Agni, with svāhā and with ghee-laden oblations and praise-songs, so with those immeasurable great powers, O Agni, protect us with a hundred iron fortresses.
7.3.8
या वा॑ ते॒ सन्ति॑ दा॒शुषे॒ अधृ॑ष्टा॒ गिरो॑ वा॒ याभि॑र्नृ॒वती॑रुरु॒ष्याः ।
ताभि॑र्नः सूनो सहसो॒ नि पा॑हि॒ स्मत्सू॒रीञ्ज॑रि॒तॄञ्जा॑तवेदः ॥
Those unassailable powers you have, for the giver, or songs, or those by which you bring wide protection with men — with those, O son of strength, O Jātavedas, protect us well; keep us safe from the singers and praisers.
7.3.9
निर्यत्पू॒तेव॒ स्वधि॑तिः॒ शुचि॒र्गात्स्वया॑ कृ॒पा त॒न्वा॑ रोच॑मानः ।
आ यो मा॒त्रोरु॒शेन्यो॒ जनि॑ष्ट देव॒यज्या॑य सु॒क्रतुः॑ पाव॒कः ॥
When the pure Agni came forth, like a cleansed axe, shining with his own form and body, from the two mothers he was born radiant — the purifier of good purpose, born for the worship of the gods.
7.3.10
ए॒ता नो॑ अग्ने॒ सौभ॑गा दिदीहि॒ अपि॒ क्रतुं॑ सु॒चेत॑सं वतेम ।
विश्वा॑ स्तो॒तृभ्यो॑ गृण॒ते च॑ सन्तु यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभिः॒ सदा॑ नः ॥
Kindle these blessings for us, O Agni, and may we obtain a purpose of good insight. Let all of it be for the praisers and the singers; may you all always protect us with well-being.
