Sukta 22

प्र विश्वसामन्नत्रिवदर्चा पावकशोचिषे। यो अध्वरेष्वीड्यो होता मन्द्रतमो विशि॥

pra viśvasāmannatrivadarcā pāvakaśociṣe | yo adhvareṣvīḍyo hotā mandratamo viśi ||

LIKE Atri, Visvasaman! sing to him of purifying light, Who must be praised in holy rites, the Priest most welcome in the house.

न्यग्निं जातवेदसं दधाता देवमृत्विजम्। प्र यज्ञ एत्वानुषगद्या देवव्यचस्तमः॥

nyagniṁ jātavedasaṁ dadhātā devamṛtvijam | pra yajña etvānuṣagadyā devavyacastamaḥ ||

Set Jatavedas in his place, Agni the God and Minister. Let sacrifice proceed to-day duly, comprising all the Gods.

चिकित्विन्मनसं त्वा देवं मर्तास ऊतये। वरेण्यस्य तेऽवस इयानासो अमन्महि॥

cikitvinmanasaṁ tvā devaṁ martāsa ūtaye | vareṇyasya te'vasa iyānāso amanmahi ||

All mortals come to thee for aid, the God of most observant mind. Of thine excelling favour we bethink us as we long for it.

अग्ने चिकिद्ध्यस्य न इदं वचः सहस्य। तं त्वा सुशिप्र दम्पते स्तोमैर्वर्धन्त्यत्रयो गीर्भिः शुम्भन्त्यत्रयः॥

agne cikiddhyasya na idaṁ vacaḥ sahasya | taṁ tvā suśipra dampate stomairvardhantyatrayo gīrbhiḥ śumbhantyatrayaḥ ||

Mark with attention this our speech, O Agni, thou victorious One. Thee, Strong-jawed! as the homestead's Lord, the Atris with their lauds exalt, the Atris beautify with songs.
