Rigveda 4.10

4.10.1

अग्ने॒ तम॒द्याऽश्वं॒ न स्तोमै॒: क्रतुं॒ न भ॒द्रं हृ॑दि॒स्पृश॑म् | ऋ॒ध्यामा॑ त॒ ओहै॑: ||

This day with praises, Agni, we bring thee that which thou lovest. Right judgment, like a horse, with our devotions.

4.10.2

अधा॒ ह्य॑ग्ने॒ क्रतो॑र्भ॒द्रस्य॒ दक्ष॑स्य सा॒धोः | र॒थीर्ऋ॒तस्य॑ बृह॒तो ब॒भूथ॑ ||

For thou hast ever been the Car-driver, Agni, of noble Strength, lofty sacrifice, and rightful judgment.

4.10.3

ए॒भिर्नो॑ अ॒र्कैर्भवा॑ नो अ॒र्वाङ्स्व१र्ण ज्योति॑: | अग्ने॒ विश्वे॑भिः सु॒मना॒ अनी॑कैः ||

Through these our praises come thou to meet us, bright as the sunlight, O Agni, well disposed, with all thine aspects.

4.10.4

आ॒भिष्टे॑ अ॒द्य गी॒र्भिर्गृ॒णन्तोऽग्ने॒ दाशे॑म | प्र ते॑ दि॒वो न स्त॑नयन्ति॒ शुष्मा॑: ||

Now may we serve thee singing these lauds this day to thee, Agni. Loud as the voice of Heaven thy blasts are roaring.

4.10.5

तव॒ स्वादि॒ष्ठा ऽग्ने॒ संदृ॑ष्टिरि॒दा चि॒दह्न॑ इ॒दा चि॑द॒क्तोः | श्रि॒ये रु॒क्मो न रो॑चत उपा॒के ||

Just at this time of the day and the night thy look is the sweetest: It shineth near us even as gold for glory.

4.10.6

घृ॒तं न पू॒तं त॒नूर॑रे॒पाः शुचि॒ हिर॑ण्यम् | तत् ते॑ रु॒क्मो न रो॑चत स्वधावः ||

Spotless thy body, brilliant as gold, like clarified butter: This gleams like gold on thee, O Self. dependent.

4.10.7

कृ॒तं चि॒द्धि ष्मा॒ सने॑मि॒ द्वेषोऽग्न॑ इ॒नोषि॒ मर्ता॑त् | इ॒त्था यज॑मानादृतावः ||

All hate and mischief, yea, if committed, Agni, thou turnest, Holy One, from the man who rightly worships.

4.10.8

शि॒वा न॑: स॒ख्या सन्तु॑ भ्रा॒त्रा ऽग्ने॑ दे॒वेषु॑ यु॒ष्मे | सा नो॒ नाभि॒: सद॑ने॒ सस्मि॒न्नूध॑न् ||

Agni, with you Gods, prosperous be our friendships and kinships. Be this our bond here by this place, thine altar.
