अग्न॒ आ या॑ह्य॒ग्निभि॒र्होता॑रं त्वा वृणीमहे ।
आ त्वाम॑नक्तु॒ प्रय॑ता ह॒विष्म॑ती॒ यजि॑ष्ठं ब॒र्हिरा॒सदे॑ ॥
O Agni, come here with the fires. We choose you as the priest. May the prepared ghee, full of oblations, adorn you, most worthy of sacrifice, to sit upon the sacred grass.
8.60.2
अच्छा॒ हि त्वा॑ सहसः सूनो अङ्गिरः॒ स्रुच॒श्चर॑न्त्यध्व॒रे ।
ऊ॒र्जो नपा॑तं घृ॒तके॑शमीमहे अ॒ग्निं य॒ज्ञेषु॑ पू॒र्व्यम् ॥
O son of strength, O Aṅgiras, near you, as the ladles move at the sacrifice, we call upon the ancient Agni, grandson of nourishment, ghee-haired, in the sacrifices.

म॒न्द्रो यजि॑ष्ठो अध्व॒रेष्वीड्यो॒ विप्रे॑भिः शुक्र॒ मन्म॑भिः ॥

अ॒भि प्रयां॑सि॒ सुधि॒ता व॑सो गहि॒ मन्द॑स्व धी॒तिभि॑र्हि॒तः ॥
O benevolent, youngest, ever-young one, bring the gods here, desiring to consume. O Vasu, come toward the well-prepared offerings; rejoice and be satisfied with the prayers.

त्वां विप्रा॑सः समिधान दीदिव॒ आ वि॑वासन्ति वे॒धसः॑ ॥
You indeed are far-reaching; O Agni, O protector, the seer of right order. O kindled, shining one, the inspired ones desire you; the wise seers here seek you.

दे॒वानां॒ शर्म॒न्मम॑ सन्तु सू॒रयः॑ शत्रू॒षाहः॑ स्व॒ग्नयः॑ ॥
Shine, O most brilliant one, blaze forth; grant happiness to the people; you are great to the praiser. In the shelter of the gods may there be impellers for me, slayers of enemies, possessors of good fires.
8.60.7
यथा॑ चिद्वृ॒द्धम॑त॒समग्ने॑ सं॒जूर्व॑सि॒ क्षमि॑ ।
ए॒वा द॑ह मित्रमहो॒ यो अ॑स्म॒ध्रुग्दु॒र्मन्मा॒ कश्च॒ वेन॑ति ॥
O Agni, greatest of friends, just as you join the aged and unbound foe in the dwelling, so burn up the one who is hostile to us and evil-minded, and whoever wishes us harm.

Do not give us over to the mortal, to the enemy, to the one possessed by a demon, nor to the evil-speaker. O youngest one, protect us with unfailing, saving, auspicious protections.

पा॒हि नो॑ अग्न॒ एक॑या पा॒ह्यु॑त द्वि॒तीय॑या ।
पा॒हि गी॒र्भिस्ति॒सृभि॑रूर्जां पते पा॒हि च॑त॒सृभि॑र्वसो ॥
O Agni, protect us with one, and protect us with the second. O lord of nourishment, protect us with the three songs; O Vasu, protect us with the four.

पा॒हि विश्व॑स्माद्र॒क्षसो॒ अरा॑व्णः॒ प्र स्म॒ वाजे॑षु नोऽव ।
त्वामिद्धि नेदि॑ष्ठं दे॒वता॑तय आ॒पिं नक्षा॑महे वृ॒धे ॥
Protect us from every demon and from the stingy who gives nothing; help us in the battles for spoil. It is you, the very nearest, that we call upon, protector, for the favour of the gods and for increase.
8.60.11
आ नो॑ अग्ने वयो॒वृधं॑ र॒यिं पा॑वक॒ शंस्य॑म् ।
रास्वा॑ च न उपमाते पुरु॒स्पृहं॒ सुनी॑ती॒ स्वय॑शस्तरम् ॥
O Agni, bring us wealth that increases life and is worthy of praise, O purifier. O friend close at hand, grant us wealth most desired, with good guidance and very famous.

ति॒ग्मा अ॑स्य॒ हन॑वो॒ न प्र॑ति॒धृषे॑ सु॒जम्भः॒ सह॑सो य॒हुः ॥
Like a bull roused to strength, Agni shakes his two horns; his sharp flames, as against one who resists, are fierce with well-formed jaws and the surge of power.
8.60.14
न॒हि ते॑ अग्ने वृषभ प्रति॒धृषे॒ जम्भा॑सो॒ यद्वि॒तिष्ठ॑से ।
स त्वं नो॑ होतः॒ सुहु॑तं ह॒विष्कृ॑धि॒ वंस्वा॑ नो॒ वार्या॑ पु॒रु ॥
O Agni, O bull, when you stand forth against the resister, your jaws are not in vain. O priest, make our oblation well-offered, and grant us many desirable goods.
8.60.15
शेषे॒ वने॑षु मा॒त्रोः सं त्वा॒ मर्ता॑स इन्धते ।
अत॑न्द्रो ह॒व्या व॑हसि हवि॒ष्कृत॒ आदिद्दे॒वेषु॑ राजसि ॥
You lie in the forests between the two mothers; mortals kindle you together. Tireless, you bear the oblations for the offerer; then indeed you shine among the gods.

अ॒ग्निं हि॒तप्र॑यसः शश्व॒ती~ष्वा होता॑रं चर्षणी॒नाम् ॥
Each Agni of yours, the Agni who holds the hero, we invoke for you of the cut-grass seats; Agni of rich offerings, the hotar among the clans.

इ॒ष॒ण्यया॑ नः पुरु॒रूप॒मा भ॑र॒ वाजं॒ नेदि॑ष्ठमू॒तये॑ ॥
With insight he attaches himself to the shelter, rich in fullness; O Agni, the wise one praises for you. Bring to us through prayer the many-formed strength, the strength most near, for protection.

अग्ने॒ जरि॑तर्वि॒श्पति॑स्तेपा॒नो दे॑व र॒क्षसः॑ ।
अप्रो॑षिवान्गृ॒हप॑तिर्म॒हाँ अ॑सि दि॒वस्पा॒युर्दु॑रोण॒युः ॥
O Agni, O singer, lord of the settlements, O god, you burn the rakshasas. You are the householder, great, the guardian of heaven, the one who leads through difficult passages.

Let no demon or deceiver come near us, O you of bright wealth. With a far-reaching fence and a boundless way, drive away hunger; O Agni, drive off the rakshasas.
