Sukta 12
आ॒जुह्वा॑न॒ ईड्यो॒ बन्द्य॒श्चा या॑ह्यग्ने॒ वसु॑भिः स॒जोषाः॑ । त्वं दे॒वाना॑मसि यह्व॒ होता॒ स ए॑नान् यक्षीषि॒तो यजी॑यान्
ā́juhvāna ī́ḍyo bándyaś cá ā́ yāhy agne vásubhiḥ sajóṣāḥ | tváṃ devā́nām asi yáhva hótā sá enān yakṣīṣitó yájīyān
Having made oblation, worthy of praise and reverence, come hither, O Agni, with the Vasus in one accord. Thou art the gods’ impetuous Hotar: from hence do thou sacrifice unto these, the more worship-worthy.
আহুতি দিয়া, প্ৰশংসনীয় আৰু বন্দনীয় হৈ, হে অগ্নি, বসুসকলৰ সৈতে একমনে ইয়ালৈ আহা। তুমি দেৱতাসকলৰ যহ্ব হোতা; ইয়াৰ পৰা তুমি এইসকলক—অধিক যজ্য—যজ্ঞেৰে আৰাধনা কৰা।
Rishi: Traditionally aligned with RV-style Agni liturgy; AV attribution varies by anukramaṇī tradition (often Angiras/Atharvanic transmission for this kanda).
Devata: Agni (with the Vasus as accompanying deities).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (RV-liturgical style; AV often preserves RV meters in such sequences).
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: shanta
