7.42.1

प्र ब्र॒ह्माणो॒ अङ्गि॑रसो नक्षन्त॒ प्र क्र॑न्द॒नुर्न॑भ॒न्य॑स्य वेतु | प्र धे॒नव॑ उद॒प्रुतो॑ नवन्त यु॒ज्याता॒मद्री॑ अध्व॒रस्य॒ पेश॑: ||

LET Brahmans and Aṅgirases come forward, and let the roar of cloudy heaven surround us. Loud low the Milch-kine swimming in the waters: set be the stones that grace our holy service.

7.42.2

सु॒गस्ते॑ अग्ने॒ सन॑वित्तो॒ अध्वा॑ यु॒क्ष्वा सु॒ते ह॒रितो॑ रो॒हित॑श्च | ये वा॒ सद्म॑न्नरु॒षा वी॑र॒वाहो॑ हु॒वे दे॒वानां॒ जनि॑मानि स॒त्तः ||

Fair, Agni, is thy long-known path to travel: yoke for the juice tfiy bay, thy ruddy horses, Or red steeds, Hero-bearing, for the chamber. Seated, I call the Deities' generations.

7.42.3

समु॑ वो य॒ज्ञं म॑हय॒न्नमो॑भि॒: प्र होता॑ म॒न्द्रो रि॑रिच उपा॒के | यज॑स्व॒ सु पु॑र्वणीक दे॒वाना य॒ज्ञिया॑म॒रम॑तिं ववृत्याः ||

They glorify your sacrifice with worship, yet the glad Priest near them is left unequalled. Bring the Gods hither, thou of many aspects: turn hitherward Aramati the Holy.

7.42.4

य॒दा वी॒रस्य॑ रे॒वतो॑ दुरो॒णे स्यो॑न॒शीरति॑थिरा॒चिके॑तत् | सुप्री॑तो अ॒ग्निः सुधि॑तो॒ दम॒ आ स वि॒शे दा॑ति॒ वार्य॒मिय॑त्यै ||

What time the Guest hath made himself apparent, at ease reclining in the rich man's dwelling, Agni, well-pleased, well-placed within the chamber gives to a house like this wealth worth the choosing.

7.42.5

इ॒मं नो॑ अग्ने अध्व॒रं जु॑षस्व म॒रुत्स्विन्द्रे॑ य॒शसं॑ कृधी नः | आ नक्ता॑ ब॒र्हिः स॑दतामु॒षासो॒शन्ता॑ मि॒त्रावरु॑णा यजे॒ह ||

Accept this sacrifice of ours, O Agni; glorify it with Indra and the Maruts. Here on our grass let Night and Dawn be seated: bring longing Varuṇa and Mitra hither.

7.42.6

ए॒वाग्निं स॑ह॒स्यं१ वसि॑ष्ठो रा॒यस्का॑मो वि॒श्वप्स्न्य॑स्य स्तौत् | इषं॑ र॒यिं प॑प्रथ॒द्वाज॑म॒स्मे यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभि॒: सदा॑ नः ||

Thus hath Vasiṣṭha praised victorious Agni, yearning for wealth that giveth all subsistence. May he bestow on us food, strength, and riches. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
