सूक्त ३९

ऊर्ध्वो अग्निः सुमतिं वस्वो अश्रेत्प्रतीची जूर्णिर्देवतातिमेति। भेजाते अद्री रथ्येव पन्थामृतं होता न इषितो यजाति॥

ūrdhvo agniḥ sumatiṁ vasvo aśretpratīcī jūrṇirdevatātimeti | bhejāte adrī rathyeva panthāmṛtaṁ hotā na iṣito yajāti ||

AGNI, erect, hath shown enriching favour: the flame goes forward to the Gods' assembly. Like car-borne men the stones their path have chosen: let the priest, quickened, celebrate our worship.

प्र वावृजे सुप्रया बर्हिरेषामा विश्पतीव बीरिट इयाते। विशामक्तोरुषसः पूर्वहूतौ वायुः पूषा स्वस्तये नियुत्वान्॥

pra vāvṛje suprayā barhireṣāmā viśpatīva bīriṭa iyāte | viśāmaktoruṣasaḥ pūrvahūtau vāyuḥ pūṣā svastaye niyutvān ||

Soft to the tread, their sacred grass is scattered: these go like Kings amid the band around them, At the folks early call on Night and Morning,-Vayu, and Pusan with his team, to bless us.

ज्मया अत्र वसवो रन्त देवा उरावन्तरिक्षे मर्जयन्त शुभ्राः। अर्वाक्पथ उरुज्रयः कृणुध्वं श्रोता दूतस्य जग्मुषो नो अस्य॥

jmayā atra vasavo ranta devā urāvantarikṣe marjayanta śubhrāḥ | arvākpatha urujrayaḥ kṛṇudhvaṁ śrotā dūtasya jagmuṣo no asya ||

Here on their path the noble Gods proceeded: in the wide firmament the Beauteous decked them. Bend your way hither, ye who travel widely: hear this our envoy who hath gone to meet you.

ते हि यज्ञेषु यज्ञियास ऊमाः सधस्थं विश्वे अभि सन्ति देवाः। ताँ अध्वर उशतो यक्ष्यग्ने श्रुष्टी भगं नासत्या पुरंधिम्॥

te hi yajñeṣu yajñiyāsa ūmāḥ sadhasthaṁ viśve abhi santi devāḥ | tā adhvara uśato yakṣyagne śruṣṭī bhagaṁ nāsatyā puraṁdhim ||

For they are holy aids at sacrifices: all Gods approach the place of congregation. Bring these, desirous, to our worship, Agni, swift the Nisatyas, Bhaga, and Purandhi.

आग्ने गिरो दिव आ पृथिव्या मित्रं वह वरुणमिन्द्रमग्निम्। आर्यमणमदितिं विष्णुमेषां सरस्वती मरुतो मादयन्ताम्॥

āgne giro diva ā pṛthivyā mitraṁ vaha varuṇamindramagnim | āryamaṇamaditiṁ viṣṇumeṣāṁ sarasvatī maruto mādayantām ||

Agni, to these men's hymns, from earth, from heaven, bring Mitra, Varuna, Indra, and Agni, And Aryaman, and Aditi, and Visnu. Sarasvati be joyful, and the Maruts.

ररे हव्यं मतिभिर्यज्ञियानां नक्षत्कामं मर्त्यानामसिन्वन्। धाता रयिमविदस्यं सदासां सक्षीमहि युज्येभिर्नु देवैः॥

rare havyaṁ matibhiryajñiyānāṁ nakṣatkāmaṁ martyānāmasinvan | dhātā rayimavidasyaṁ sadāsāṁ sakṣīmahi yujyebhirnu devaiḥ ||

Even as the holy wish, the gift is offered: may he, unsated, come when men desire him. Give never-failing ever-conquering riches: with Gods for our allies may we be victors.

नू रोदसी अभिष्टुते वसिष्ठैरृतावानो वरुणो मित्रो अग्निः। यच्छन्तु चन्द्रा उपमं नो अर्कं यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

nū rodasī abhiṣṭute vasiṣṭhairṛtāvāno varuṇo mitro agniḥ | yacchantu candrā upamaṁ no arkaṁ yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Now have both worlds been praised by the Vasisthas; and holy Mitra, Varuna, and Agni. May they, bright Deities, make our song supremest. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
