सूक्त १३

प्राग्नये विश्वशुचे धियंधेऽसुरघ्ने मन्म धीतिं भरध्वम्। भरे हविर्न बर्हिषि प्रीणानो वैश्वानराय यतये मतीनाम्॥

prāgnaye viśvaśuce dhiyaṁdhe'suraghne manma dhītiṁ bharadhvam | bhare havirna barhiṣi prīṇāno vaiśvānarāya yataye matīnām ||

BRING song and hymn to Agni, Asura-slayer, enlightener of all and thought-bestower. Like an oblation on the grass, to please him, I bring this to Vaisvanara, hymn-inspirer.

त्वमग्ने शोचिषा शोशुचान आ रोदसी अपृणा जायमानः। त्वं देवाँ अभिशस्तेरमुञ्चो वैश्वानर जातवेदो महित्वा॥

tvamagne śociṣā śośucāna ā rodasī apṛṇā jāyamānaḥ | tvaṁ devā abhiśasteramuñco vaiśvānara jātavedo mahitvā ||

Thou with thy flame, O Agni, brightly glowing, hast at thy birth filled full the earth and heaven. TIOU with thy might, Vaisvanara Jatavedas, settest the Gods free frodi the curse that bound them.

जातो यदग्ने भुवना व्यख्यः पशून्न गोपा इर्यः परिज्मा। वैश्वानर ब्रह्मणे विन्द गातुं यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

jāto yadagne bhuvanā vyakhyaḥ paśūnna gopā iryaḥ parijmā | vaiśvānara brahmaṇe vinda gātuṁ yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Agni, when, born thou lookedst on all creatures, like a brisk herdsman moving round his cattle. The path to prayer, Vaisvanara, thou foundest. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
