3.14.1

आ होता॑ म॒न्द्रो वि॒दथा॑न्यस्थात् स॒त्यो यज्वा॑ क॒वित॑म॒: स वे॒धाः | वि॒द्युद्र॑थ॒: सह॑सस्पु॒त्रो अ॒ग्निः शो॒चिष्के॑शः पृथि॒व्यां पाजो॑ अश्रेत् ||

THE pleasant Priest is come into the synod, true, skilled in sacrifice, most wise, Ordainer. Agni, the Son of Strength, whose car is lightning, whose hair is flame, hath shown on earth his lustre.

3.14.2

अया॑मि ते॒ नम॑उक्तिं जुषस्व॒ ऋता॑व॒स्तुभ्यं॒ चेत॑ते सहस्वः | वि॒द्वाँ आ व॑क्षि वि॒दुषो॒ नि ष॑त्सि॒ मध्य॒ आ ब॒र्हिरू॒तये॑ यजत्र ||

To thee I offer reverent speech: accept it: to thee who markest it, victorious, faithful! Bring, thou who knowest, those who know, and seat thee amid the sacred grass, for help, O Holy.

3.14.3

॥ द्रव॑तां त उ॒षसा॑ वा॒जय॑न्ती॒ अग्ने॒ वात॑स्य प॒थ्या॑भि॒रच्छ॑ | यत् सी॑म॒ञ्जन्ति॑ पू॒र्व्यं ह॒विर्भि॒रा व॒न्धुरे॑व तस्थतुर्दुरो॒णे ||

The Two who show their vigour, Night and Morning, by the wind's paths shall haste to thee O Agni. When men adorn the Ancient with oblations, these seek, as on two chariot-seats, the dwelling.

3.14.4

॥ मि॒त्रश्च॒ तुभ्यं॒ वरु॑णः सह॒स्वोऽग्ने॒ विश्वे॑ म॒रुत॑: सु॒म्नम॑र्चन् | यच्छो॒चिषा॑ सहसस्पुत्र॒ तिष्ठा॑ अ॒भि क्षि॒तीः प्र॒थय॒न् त्सूर्यो॒ नॄन् ||

To thee, strong Agni! Varuṇa and Mitra and all the Maruts sang a song of triumph, What time unto the people's lands thou camest, spreading them as the Sun of men, with lustre.

3.14.5

॥ व॒यं ते॑ अ॒द्य र॑रि॒मा हि काम॑मुत्ता॒नह॑स्ता॒ नम॑सोप॒सद्य॑ | यजि॑ष्ठेन॒ मन॑सा यक्षि दे॒वानस्रे॑धता॒ मन्म॑ना॒ विप्रो॑ अग्ने ||

Approaching with raised hands and adoration, we have this day fulfilled for thee thy longing. Worship the Gods with most devoted spirit, a Priest with no unfriendly thought, O Agni.

3.14.6

॥ त्वद्धि पु॑त्र सहसो॒ वि पू॒र्वीर्दे॒वस्य॒ यन्त्यू॒तयो॒ वि वाजा॑: | त्वं दे॑हि सह॒स्रिणं॑ र॒यिं नो॑ऽद्रो॒घेण॒ वच॑सा स॒त्यम॑ग्ने ||

For, Son of Strength, from thee come many succours, and powers abundant that a God possesses. Agni, to us with speech that hath no falsehood grant riches, real, to be told in thousands.

3.14.7

॥ तुभ्यं॑ दक्ष कविक्रतो॒ यानी॒मा देव॒ मर्ता॑सो अध्व॒रे अक॑र्म | त्वं विश्व॑स्य सु॒रथ॑स्य बोधि॒ सर्वं॒ तद॑ग्ने अमृत स्वदे॒ह ||

Whatever, God, in sacrifice we mortals have wrought is all for thee, strong, wise of purpose! Be thou the Friend of each good chariot's master. All this enjoy thou here, immortal Agni.
