7.8.1
इ॒न्धे राजा॒ सम॒र्यो नमो॑भि॒र्यस्य॒ प्रती॑क॒माहु॑तं घृ॒तेन॑ ।
नरो॑ ह॒व्येभि॑रीळते स॒बाध॒ आग्निरग्र॑ उ॒षसा॑मशोचि ॥
King Agni is kindled with homage; his flame, bathed in ghee, is offered. Men praise him with oblations; Agni has shone forth before the dawns.
7.8.2
अ॒यमु॒ ष्य सुम॑हाँ अवेदि॒ होता॑ म॒न्द्रो मनु॑षो य॒ह्वो अ॒ग्निः ।
वि भा अ॑कः ससृजा॒नः पृ॑थि॒व्यां कृ॒ष्णप॑वि॒रोष॑धीभिर्ववक्षे ॥
Lo, the very glorious Agni has been found—the priest, the joyous one, mighty among mortals. He spread out his rays, creating upon the earth; the dark-cloaked one has extended himself with the plants.
7.8.3
कया॑ नो अग्ने॒ वि व॑सः सुवृ॒क्तिं कामु॑ स्व॒धामृ॑णवः श॒स्यमा॑नः ।
क॒दा भ॑वेम॒ पत॑यः सुदत्र रा॒यो व॒न्तारो॑ दु॒ष्टर॑स्य सा॒धोः ॥
O Agni, O lord of dwellings, with what praise will you accept for us your nourishing power, when you are being praised? O good giver, when shall we become lords, bestowers of wealth on the good man along the hard-to-cross road?
7.8.4
प्रप्रा॒यम॒ग्निर्भ॑र॒तस्य॑ शृण्वे॒ वि यत्सूर्यो॒ न रोच॑ते बृ॒हद्भाः ।
अ॒भि यः पू॒रुं पृत॑नासु त॒स्थौ द्यु॑ता॒नो दैव्यो॒ अति॑थिः शुशोच ॥
Lo, Agni of the Bharatas is widely proclaimed, when he spreads his great light like the sun. The shining divine guest, who stood in battles beside the many-citied one, has blazed forth.
7.8.5
अस॒न्नित्त्वे आ॒हव॑नानि॒ भूरि॒ भुवो॒ विश्वे॑भिः सु॒मना॒ अनी॑कैः ।
स्तु॒तश्चि॑दग्ने शृण्विषे गृणा॒नः स्व॒यं व॑र्धस्व त॒न्वं॑ सुजात ॥
Surely in you are many invocations; you are gracious with all your flames. O Agni, you are heard even as you are praised. O well-born one, grow yourself—your body.
7.8.6
इ॒दं वचः॑ शत॒साः संस॑हस्र॒मुद॒ग्नये॑ जनिषीष्ट द्वि॒बर्हाः॑ ।
शं यत्स्तो॒तृभ्य॑ आ॒पये॒ भवा॑ति द्यु॒मद॑मीव॒चात॑नं रक्षो॒हा ॥
May this speech—hundred-gaining, thousand-conquering—rise up for Agni; may the twice-strong one be born. When it becomes peace for the praisers and for the drinker, may he be the brilliant driver-away of disease, the demon-slayer.
7.8.7
नू त्वाम॑ग्न ईमहे॒ वसि॑ष्ठा ईशा॒नं सू॑नो सहसो॒ वसू॑नाम् ।
इषं॑ स्तो॒तृभ्यो॑ म॒घव॑द्भ्य आनड्यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभिः॒ सदा॑ नः ॥
O Agni, we, the Vasiṣṭhas, now call upon you, lord of treasures and son of strength. You have given nourishment to the singers and the generous patrons; may you all always protect us with blessings of well-being.
