1.14.1
ऐभि॑रग्ने॒ दुवो॒ गिरो॒ विश्वे॑भि॒: सोम॑पीतये |
दे॒वेभि॑र्याहि॒ यक्षि॑ च ||
To drink the Soma, Agni, come, to our service and our songs. With all these Gods; and worship them.
O Agni, come with all these gods to our service and hymns for Soma-drinking, and worship them.
Agni leads the Viśve Devāḥ to Somapīti amid Duvaḥ and Giraḥ. The All-Gods motif affirms cosmic totality: no single deity monopolizes the feast; fire gathers the whole divine assembly into shared Ananda.
Invite the full ecology of stakeholders into meaningful shared refreshment—not only one favored voice. Inclusive gathering under clear facilitation strengthens collective life.
1.14.2
आ त्वा॒ कण्वा॑ अहूषत गृ॒णन्ति॑ विप्र ते॒ धिय॑: |
दे॒वेभि॑रग्न॒ आ ग॑हि ||
The Kaṇvas have invoked thee; they, O Singer, sing thee songs of praise Agni, come hither with the Gods;
The Kanvas have called you; O inspired one, their insights praise you—Agni, come here with the gods.
Kaṇva lineage (‘ā tvā Kaṇvā ahūṣata’) models paramparā calling Agni with Dhīyaḥ. Vipra Agni is summoned with Devas; familial-sastric lineage keeps the All-God feast alive through inspired intellect.
Let lineage and living insight both call your guiding fire. Tradition plus fresh intelligence invites complete, not partial, help.
1.14.3
इ॒न्द्र॒वा॒यू बृह॒स्पतिं॑ मि॒त्राग्निं पू॒षणं॒ भग॑म् |
आ॒दि॒त्यान् मारु॑तं ग॒णम् ||
Indra, Vāyu, Bṛhaspati, Mitra, Agni, Pūṣan, Bhaga, Ādityas, and the Marut host.
Indra and Vayu, Brihaspati, Mitra and Agni, Pushan, Bhaga, the Adityas, and the Marut host.
A liturgical roll-call of complementary powers: will and breath (Indra-Vāyu), sacred wisdom (Bṛhaspati), harmony and fire (Mitra-Agni), nourishing path and portion (Pūṣan-Bhaga), solar truth-host (Ādityas), and storm-brotherhood (Maruts). Viśvedeva theology is differentiated unity.
Name the distinct capacities your project needs—drive, stamina, counsel, trust, energy, guidance, fair share, integrity, collective vigor—rather than a vague wish for ‘help.’
1.14.4
प्र वो॑ भ्रियन्त॒ इन्द॑वो मत्स॒रा मा॑दयि॒ष्णव॑: |
द्र॒प्सा मध्व॑श्चमू॒षद॑: ||
For you these juices are poured forth that gladden and exhilarate, The meath-drops resting in the cup.
For you these gladdening, exhilarating drops are brought forward—the honeyed droplets sitting in the bowls.
Indavaḥ that are Matsarā and Mādayiṣṇavaḥ, Madhvaḥ Drapsāḥ in Camū, embody offered Ananda prepared for the All-Gods. Shared delight is the medium of Viśvedeva communion.
Prepare shared joy as the medium of collaboration. Teams bond and perform when delight is intentionally offered, not left to chance.
1.14.5
ईळ॑ते॒ त्वाम॑व॒स्यव॒: कण्वा॑सो वृ॒क्तब॑र्हिषः |
ह॒विष्म॑न्तो अरं॒कृत॑: ||
The sons of Kaṇva fain for help adore thee, having strewn the grass, With offerings and all things prepared.
The Kanvas, seeking protection, having strewn the grass, bearing offerings and fully prepared, adore you.
Avasyavaḥ Kaṇvāsaḥ with Vṛktabarhis, Haviṣmantaḥ, and Araṃkṛtaḥ model complete readiness: need for help, prepared seat, offerings, and ordered arrangement. Viśvedeva worship requires holistic preparation.
Ask for help only after preparing seat, materials, and order. Readiness makes assistance effective and respectful of those who come.
1.14.6
घृ॒तपृ॑ष्ठा मनो॒युजो॒ ये त्वा॒ वह॑न्ति॒ वह्न॑यः |
आ दे॒वान्त्सोम॑पीतये ||
Let the swift steeds who carry thee, thought-yoked and dropping holy oil, Bring the Gods to the Soma draught.
May the oil-backed, mind-yoked steeds that carry you bring the gods to the Soma-drinking.
Vahnayaḥ that are Ghṛtapṛṣṭhā and Manoyujaḥ convey Agni and Devas to Somapīti. Thought-yoked vehicles of fire show that mental intention (Manas) is the true harness of sacred conveyance.
Yoke clear intention to your delivery systems. Resources move gods—and goals—when mind and means are harnessed together.
1.14.7
तान् यज॑त्राँ ऋता॒वृधो ऽग्ने॒ पत्नी॑वतस्कृधि |
मध्व॑: सुजिह्व पायय ||
Adored, the strengtheners of Law, unite them, Agni, with their Dames: Make them drink meath, O bright of tongue.
O Agni, make those worshipful strengtheners of Rita accompany their consorts, and cause them to drink the honey, O sweet-tongued one.
Yajatrāḥ Ṛtāvṛdhaḥ are to be Patnīvataḥ—joined with their Śaktis—and given Madhu by Sujihva Agni. Completeness of divine presence includes feminine powers; Rita grows through paired wholeness.
Include complementary partners and balancing energies in systems that uphold order. Wholeness drinks deeper than one-sided power.
1.14.8
ये यज॑त्रा॒ य ईड्या॒स् ते ते॑ पिबन्तु जि॒ह्वया॑ |
मधो॑रग्ने॒ वष॑ट्कृति ||
Let them, O Agni, who deserve worship and praise drink with thy tongue The meath in solemn sacrifice.
O Agni, let those who are worshipful and praiseworthy drink the honey with your tongue at the Vaṣaṭ offering.
Gods drink Madhu through Agni’s Jihvā at Vaṣaṭkṛti—the climactic ritual cry. Fire’s tongue is the organ of divine tasting; human offering becomes divine experience via Agni.
Ensure your delivery medium truly conveys value to those who deserve it. The ‘tongue’ of your process—how things are tasted and received—matters as much as the gift.
1.14.9
आकीं॒ सूर्य॑स्य रोच॒नाद् विश्वा॑न्दे॒वाँ उ॑ष॒र्बुध॑: |
विप्रो॒ होते॒ह व॑क्षति ||
Away, from the Sun's realm of light, the wise invoking Priest shall bring All Gods awaking with the dawn.
From the Sun’s luminous realm the inspired Hotar shall bring hither all the dawn-awakened gods.
Vipra Hotar Agni conveys Viśvān Devān Uṣarbudhaḥ from Sūryasya Rocanāt. Dawn-waking deities arrive from solar light; morning consciousness is the natural hour of All-God presence.
Start collective work when clarity is naturally waking. Bring your full set of values online in the ‘dawn’ of attention, not in exhausted dusk.
1.14.10
विश्वे॑भिः सो॒म्यं मध्वग्न॒ इन्द्रे॑ण वा॒युना॑ |
पिबा॑ मि॒त्रस्य॒ धाम॑भिः ||
With all the Gods, with Indra, with Vāyu, and Mitra's splendours, drink, Agni, the pleasant Soma juice.
O Agni, drink the delightful Soma-honey with all the gods, with Indra, with Vayu, and with Mitra’s domains of light.
Agni drinks Somya Madhu in company of Viśve, Indra, Vāyu, and Mitrasya Dhāmabhiḥ. Specific allies of will, breath, and solar friendship contextualize the All-God draught—unity without erasure of distinct powers.
Celebrate with the whole community while still honoring key partnerships. Broad inclusion and specific alliances can share the same toast.
1.14.11
त्वं होता॒ मनु॑र्हि॒तो ऽग्ने॑ य॒ज्ञेषु॑ सीदसि |
सेमं नो॑ अध्व॒रं य॑ज ||
Ordained by Manu as our Priest, thou sittest, Agni, at each rite: Hallow thou this our sacrifice.
O Agni, Hotar set for Manu’s good, you sit at the sacrifices; consecrate this our harmless rite.
Returning to Manurhita Hotar, Agni ‘sīdasi’ in Yajñas and is asked to yaja this Adhvara. The All-God feast still rests on fire’s seated priesthood and non-injurious sacred action.
Keep a stable facilitating presence across all your ‘rites’ of work and family. Consistency of ethical process sanctifies each new undertaking.
1.14.12
यु॒क्ष्वा ह्यरु॑षी॒ रथे॑ ह॒रितो॑ देव रो॒हित॑: |
ताभि॑र्दे॒वाँ इ॒हा व॑ह ||
Harness the Red Mares to thy car, the Bays, O God, the flaming ones: With those bring hitherward the Gods.
O God, yoke the ruddy mares, the bay and the flaming ones to your chariot; with them bring the gods here.
Agni’s Aruṣī, Haritaḥ, and Rohitaḥ steeds—ruddy, bay, flaming—are yoked to fetch Devas. Multicolored solar-fire horses image the spectrum of fiery energies needed to transport the whole divine company.
Mobilize diverse energetic styles—urgency, steadiness, brilliance—to bring your full set of values into the present. One color of effort rarely carries the whole team.
