सूक्त १०

उषो न जारः पृथु पाजो अश्रेद्दविद्युतद्दीद्यच्छोशुचानः। वृषा हरिः शुचिरा भाति भासा धियो हिन्वान उशतीरजीगः॥

uṣo na jāraḥ pṛthu pājo aśreddavidyutaddīdyacchośucānaḥ | vṛṣā hariḥ śucirā bhāti bhāsā dhiyo hinvāna uśatīrajīgaḥ ||

HE hath sent forth, bright, radiant, and refulgent, like the Dawn's Lover, his far-spreading lustre. Pure in his splendour shines the golden Hero: our longing thoughts hath he aroused and wakened.

स्वर्ण वस्तोरुषसामरोचि यज्ञं तन्वाना उशिजो न मन्म। अग्निर्जन्मानि देव आ वि विद्वान्द्रवद्दूतो देवयावा वनिष्ठः॥

svarṇa vastoruṣasāmaroci yajñaṁ tanvānā uśijo na manma | agnirjanmāni deva ā vi vidvāndravaddūto devayāvā vaniṣṭhaḥ ||

He, like the Sun, hath shone while Morn is breaking, and priests who weave the sacrifice sing praises, Agni, the God, who knows their generations and visits Gods, most bounteous, rapid envoy.

अच्छा गिरो मतयो देवयन्तीरग्निं यन्ति द्रविणं भिक्षमाणाः। सुसंदृशं सुप्रतीकं स्वञ्चं हव्यवाहमरतिं मानुषाणाम्॥

acchā giro matayo devayantīragniṁ yanti draviṇaṁ bhikṣamāṇāḥ | susaṁdṛśaṁ supratīkaṁ svañcaṁ havyavāhamaratiṁ mānuṣāṇām ||

Our songs and holy hymns go forth to Agni, seeking the God and asking him for riches, Him fair to see, of goodly aspect, mighty, men's messenger who carries their oblations.

इन्द्रं नो अग्ने वसुभिः सजोषा रुद्रं रुद्रेभिरा वहा बृहन्तम्। आदित्येभिरदितिं विश्वजन्यां बृहस्पतिमृक्वभिर्विश्ववारम्॥

indraṁ no agne vasubhiḥ sajoṣā rudraṁ rudrebhirā vahā bṛhantam | ādityebhiraditiṁ viśvajanyāṁ bṛhaspatimṛkvabhirviśvavāram ||

joined with the Vasus, Agni, bring thou Indra bring hither mighty Rudra with the Rudras, Aditi good to all men with Adityas, Brhaspati All-bounteous, with the Singers.

मन्द्रं होतारमुशिजो यविष्ठमग्निं विश ईळते अध्वरेषु। स हि क्षपावाँ अभवद्रयीणामतन्द्रो दूतो यजथाय देवान्॥

mandraṁ hotāramuśijo yaviṣṭhamagniṁ viśa īḻate adhvareṣu | sa hi kṣapāvā abhavadrayīṇāmatandro dūto yajathāya devān ||

Men eagerly implore at sacrifices Agni, Most Youthful God, the joyous Herald. For he is Lord and Ruler over riches, and for Gods' worship an unwearied envoy.
