Rigveda 1.75

1.75.1

जु॒षस्व॑ स॒प्रथ॑स्तमं॒ वचो॑ दे॒वप्स॑रस्तमम् | ह॒व्या जुह्वा॑न आ॒सनि॑ ||

ACCEPT our loudest-sounding hymn, food most delightful to the Gods, Pouring our offerings in thy mouth.

Accept our widest-spreading hymn, most delightful food for the Gods, as offerings are poured into thy mouth.

Havya juhvana asani: Agni's mouth as the Devas' eating-place—foundational Shruti theology. Saprathastamam vacah seeks acceptance of expansive sacred speech.

Offer your best expression into a living channel that can 'digest' and distribute it—don't speak into voids.

1.75.2

अथा॑ ते अङ्गिरस्त॒माग्ने॑ वेधस्तम प्रि॒यम् | वो॒चेम॒ ब्रह्म॑ सान॒सि ||

Now, Agni, will we say to thee, O wisest and best Aṅgiras, Our precious, much-availing prayer.

Now, O Agni, wisest Angiras, best ordainer, we will speak to thee our dear prayer that wins.

Angirastama vedhastama: superlative intimacy with the fiery seer-line. Brahma sanasi—prayer that obtains—is vacas as effective sadhana when addressed to the knowing flame.

Address requests to the most competent locus; craft asks that are both cherished and effective.

1.75.3

कस्ते॑ जा॒मिर्जना॑ना॒मग्ने॒ को दा॒श्व॑ध्वरः | को ह॒ कस्मि॑न्नसि श्रि॒तः ||

Who, Agni, is thy kin, of men? who is thy worthy worshipper? On whom dependent? who art thou?

Who among humans is thy kin, O Agni? Who is the worthy offerer of the harmless rite? Who? On whom dost thou depend? Who art thou?

Probing questions—jami, dashadhvarah, kashmin shrītah—open Vedantic inquiry inside ritual: what is the relation between jiva and Agni? The rishi dramatizes seeking identity with the flame.

Ask relational questions of your core energy: what am I loyal to, whom do I feed, where do I lean, who am I becoming?

1.75.4

त्वं जा॒मिर्जना॑ना॒मग्ने॑ मि॒त्रो अ॑सि प्रि॒यः | सखा॒ सखि॑भ्य॒ ईड्य॑: ||

The kinsman, Agni, of mankind, their well beloved Friend art thou, A Friend whom friends may supplicate.

Thou art the kinsman of humankind, O Agni, their beloved friend—a friend whom friends may praise and ask.

Tvam jamir jananam…mitro asi priyah, sakha sakhibhya idyah: the answer is pure Sanatana intimacy—Agni as kin, mitra, and sakha. Not distant judge but approachable companion of the human heart-flame.

Relate to your vital spark as friend and kin—cooperative, beloved, askable—not as an enemy to crush or an idol to fear.

1.75.5

यजा॑ नो मि॒त्रावरु॑णा॒ यजा॑ दे॒वाँ ऋ॒तं बृ॒हत् | अग्ने॒ यक्षि॒ स्वं दम॑म् ||

Bring to us Mitra, Varuṇa, bring the Gods to mighty sacrifice. Bring them, O Agni, to thine home.

Worship Mitra and Varuna for us, worship the Gods and the vast Rita; O Agni, worship thine own home.

Yaja Mitra-Varuna…rtam brihat…svam damam: Agni as Hotar summons moral sovereigns and great Rita, then consecrates even his own dwelling. The cycle closes in self-home sanctification—outer Devas and inner dam as one yajna.

Invite fairness and cosmic-sized ethics into your work, and also sanctify your immediate base—the room, team, or practice you actually live in.
