समि॑द्धो अग्न॒ आ व॑ह दे॒वाँ अ॒द्य य॒तस्रु॑चे |
तन्तुं॑ तनुष्व पू॒र्व्यं सु॒तसो॑माय दा॒शुषे॑ ||
KINDLED, bring, Agni, Gods to-day for him who lifts the ladle up. Spin out the ancient thread for him who sheds, with gifts, the Soma juice.
Kindled, Agni, bring the Gods today for the one who lifts the ladle; spin out the ancient thread for him who sheds Soma with gifts.
Āprī opening: samiddha Agni as conveyor. Ancient thread (tantu purāṇa) is unbroken yajña-sūtra of Sanātana Dharma—spinning continuity. Ladle-lifter (sruva/juhū) is active devotee.
Ignite process, invite the right participants, and continue the long thread of proven practice for contributors who actually give.
1.142.2
घृ॒तव॑न्त॒मुप॑ मासि॒ मधु॑मन्तं तनूनपात् |
य॒ज्ञं विप्र॑स्य॒ माव॑तः शशमा॒नस्य॑ दा॒शुष॑: ||
Thou dealest forth, Tanūnapāt, sweet sacrifice enriched with oil, Brought by a singer such as I who offers gifts and toils for thee.
You, Tanunapat, deal forth sweet oil-enriched sacrifice brought by a toiling singer who offers gifts.
Tanūnapāt—'son of himself'/self-born aspect of Agni—distributes madhu-ghṛta yajña. Singer's śrama validates the sweet ordering. Hindu internalization: self-derived flame apportions inner offering.
Self-starting ownership distributes quality work. Sweat equity plus generosity qualifies you to shape the offering.
1.142.3
शुचि॑: पाव॒को अद्भु॑तो॒ मध्वा॑ य॒ज्ञं मि॑मिक्षति |
नरा॒शंस॒स्त्रिरा दि॒वो दे॒वो दे॒वेषु॑ य॒ज्ञिय॑: ||
He wondrous, sanctifying, bright, sprinkles the sacrifice with mead, Thrice, Narāśaṁsa from the heavens, a God mid Gods adorable.
Wondrous, sanctifying, bright, he thrice sprinkles the sacrifice with mead from heaven—Narasamsa, a God adorable among Gods.
Narāśaṃsa (praise of men / Agni as human-lauded) thrice sprinkles madhu from Dyaus—triadic consecration. Sanctifying (pāvaka-like) brightness among Gods: speech-fire that makes rite edible to heaven.
Triple-check consecration of important work. Public honorable praise ('of men') sanctifies effort when paired with genuine quality.
1.142.4
ई॒ळि॒तो अ॑ग्न॒ आ व॒हेन्द्रं॑ चि॒त्रमि॒ह प्रि॒यम् |
इ॒यं हि त्वा॑ म॒तिर्ममाच्छा॑ सुजिह्व व॒च्यते॑ ||
Agni, besought, bring hitherward Indra the Friend, the Wonderful, For this my hymn of praise, O sweet of tongue, is chanted forth to thee.
Agni, besought, bring Indra the Friend, the Wonderful; sweet of tongue, this hymn of praise is chanted forth to you.
Agni fetches Indra as Mitra-wonder—will arrives through fire. Sweet tongue (madhu-jihva) Agni as eloquent mediator. Stuti directed to Agni empowers the fetch.
Use trusted facilitators to bring decisive allies. Eloquent framing of the ask matters.

वृ॒ञ्जे दे॒वव्य॑चस्तम॒मिन्द्रा॑य॒ शर्म॑ स॒प्रथ॑: ||
The ladle-holders strew trimmed grass at this well-ordered sacrifice; A home for Indra is adorned, wide, fittest to receive the Gods.
Ladle-holders strew trimmed grass at this well-ordered sacrifice; a wide home for Indra is adorned, fittest to receive the Gods.
Barhis carefully strewn: prepared receptivity. Wide Indra-home (dūram śastam) as ātithya for Devas—hospitality architecture of Hindu ritual.
Environment design welcomes high performance. Order and spaciousness make teams and ideas want to arrive.
1.142.6
वि श्र॑यन्तामृता॒वृध॑: प्र॒यै दे॒वेभ्यो॑ म॒हीः |
पा॒व॒कास॑: पुरु॒स्पृहो॒ द्वारो॑ दे॒वीर॑स॒श्चत॑: ||
Thrown open be the Doors Divine, unfailing, that assist the rite, High, purifying, much-desired, so that the Gods may enter in.
Thrown open be the Divine Doors, unfailing helpers of the rite—high, purifying, much-desired—so the Gods may enter.
Devī Dvāraḥ: thresholds of sacred space. Unfailing (asridha) purifying gates—Hindu and yogic sense of opening nāḍī/dvara for divine entry. Desire for openness without losing purity.
Remove friction at onboarding gates. Open, clean, reliable entry paths so valued people and ideas can actually enter.
1.142.7
आ भन्द॑माने॒ उपा॑के॒ नक्तो॒षासा॑ सु॒पेश॑सा |
य॒ह्वी ऋ॒तस्य॑ मा॒तरा॒ सीद॑तां ब॒र्हिरा सु॒मत् ||
May Night and Morning, hymned with lauds, united, fair to look upon, Strong Mothers of the sacrifice, seat them together on the grass.
May Night and Morning, hymned, united and fair, strong Mothers of sacrifice, seat themselves together on the grass.
Naktoṣāsā as yajñasya mātārā—complementary temporal mothers. United seating: Hindu embrace of full circadian holiness, not day alone.
Integrate rest and activity as co-parents of achievement. Honor both halves of the cycle in planning.
1.142.8
म॒न्द्रजि॑ह्वा जुगु॒र्वणी॒ होता॑रा॒ दैव्या॑ क॒वी |
य॒ज्ञं नो॑ यक्षतामि॒मं सि॒ध्रम॒द्य दि॑वि॒स्पृश॑म् ||
May the two Priests Divine, the sage, the sweet-voiced lovers of the hymn, Complete this sacrifice of ours, effectual, reaching heaven to-day.
May the two Divine Priests, sage sweet-voiced lovers of the hymn, complete this sacrifice of ours—effectual, heaven-reaching today.
Daivya hotārā: celestial priest-pair perfecting human rite. Effectual (sadhya) and dyu-gāmi today—urgency of present-tense siddhi. Hindu trust in higher ṛtviks within.
Pair complementary expert roles to close loops the same day. Love of craft predicts completion quality.
1.142.9
शुचि॑र्दे॒वेष्वर्पि॑ता॒ होत्रा॑ म॒रुत्सु॒ भार॑ती |
इळा॒ सर॑स्वती म॒ही ब॒र्हिः सी॑दन्तु य॒ज्ञिया॑: ||

Let pure Hotra among Gods, Bharati amid the Maruts, Ila, Sarasvati, and Mahi rest adorable on the grass.
Vāg-devīs and Bhāratī with Maruts: speech, land-voice, flowing wisdom, and Great Mother seated in rite. Hindu Śakti assembly essential to Āprī completeness.
Seat multiple intelligences—advocacy, culture-voice, practical guidance, flowing insight, magnanimity—in the working circle.
1.142.10
तन्न॑स्तु॒रीप॒मद्भु॑तं पु॒रु वारं॑ पु॒रु त्मना॑ |
त्वष्टा॒ पोषा॑य॒ वि ष्य॑तु रा॒ये नाभा॑ नो अस्म॒युः ||

May Tvashtar send genial dew abundant, wondrous, gift-rich, for increase and growth of wealth—Tvashtar our kinsman and Friend.
Tvaṣṭar as cosmic craftsman sending snigdha dew (energy of formation). Kinsman-friend (bandhu-sakhā): artisan deity as family. Hindu creativity as relational, not cold tech.
Invite formative craft and gentle enabling conditions. Treat creative infrastructure as kinship, not mere vendor utility.
1.142.11
अ॒व॒सृ॒जन्नुप॒ त्मना॑ दे॒वान् य॑क्षि वनस्पते |
अ॒ग्निर्ह॒व्या सु॑षूदति दे॒वो दे॒वेषु॒ मेधि॑रः ||
Vanaspati, give forth, thyself, and call the Gods to sacrifice. May Agni, God intelligent, speed our oblation to the Gods.
Vanaspati, give forth yourself and call the Gods to sacrifice; may intelligent Agni speed our oblation to the Gods.
Vanaspati (lord of forest/sacrificial post) self-giving and summoning: tree-spirit cooperation in Hindu yajña. Agni as manīṣin courier ensures haviḥ reaches Devas—reliability of conscious fire.
Let structural supports 'give forth' and actively invite stakeholders. Smart routing ensures contributions arrive.
1.142.12
पू॒ष॒ण्वते॑ म॒रुत्व॑ते वि॒श्वदे॑वाय वा॒यवे॑ |
स्वाहा॑ गाय॒त्रवे॑पसे ह॒व्यमिन्द्रा॑य कर्तन ||

To Vayu with Pushan, with the Maruts and Gods' host, to Indra who inspires the hymn, cry Glory! and present the gift.
Svāhā/Glory-cry (vaṣaṭ/śaṃsa) with multi-deva dedication: breath, path-nourisher, storm-troop, and hymn-inspiring Indra. Hindu polycentric offering under one exclamation.
When delivering, explicitly name the contributing forces. Public 'Glory' plus concrete gift closes recognition loops.
1.142.13
स्वाहा॑कृता॒न्या ग॒ह्युप॑ ह॒व्यानि॑ वी॒तये॑ |
इन्द्रा ग॑हि श्रु॒धी हवं॒ त्वां ह॑वन्ते अध्व॒रे ||
Come hither to enjoy the gifts prepared with cry of Glory! Come, O Indra, hear their calling; they invite thee to the sacrifice.
Come hither to enjoy gifts prepared with the Glory-cry; come, Indra, hear their calling—they invite you to the sacrifice.
Āprī finale: Indra invited to bhoga of vaṣaṭ-prepared gifts. Hearing the call completes āvāhana. Dīrghatamas seals sequential consecration in responsive presence of Will.
After full prep and recognition, personally invite decision-power to partake. Presence is the point of the sequence.
