Sukta 150

Mantra 1

समिद्धश्चित्समिध्यसे देवेभ्यो हव्यवाहन । आदित्यै रुद्रैर्वसुभिर्न आ गहि मृळीकाय न आ गहि ॥

Even when kindled, you are kindled ever anew for the Gods, O carrier of the offering. Come to us with the Ādityas, with the Rudras, with the Vasus; come to us for our solace and healing.

Mantra 2

इमं यज्ञमिदं वचो जुजुषाण उपागहि । मर्तासस्त्वा समिधान हवामहे मृळीकाय हवामहे ॥

Accepting this sacrifice, accepting this word, come near. We mortals invoke you as you blaze upward; we invoke you for the healing grace that makes our striving safe.

Mantra 3

त्वामु जातवेदसं विश्ववारं गृणे धिया । अग्ने देवाँ आ वह नः प्रियव्रतान्मृळीकाय प्रियव्रतान् ॥

You, O Jātavedas, rich in all desirable powers, I affirm with my thought. O Agni, bring the gods to us—those who are faithful to the beloved law—for our solace, bring those who are faithful to the beloved law.

Mantra 4

अग्निर्देवो देवानामभवत्पुरोहितोऽग्निं मनुष्या ऋषयः समीधिरे । अग्निं महो धनसातावहं हुवे मृळीकं धनसातये ॥

Agni, the god, became the priest set in front for the gods; the human seers kindled Agni. That great Agni I call for the winning of plenitude—Agni who is healing grace—for the winning of plenitude.

Mantra 5

अग्निरत्रिं भरद्वाजं गविष्ठिरं प्रावन्नः कण्वं त्रसदस्युमाहवे । अग्निं वसिष्ठो हवते पुरोहितो मृळीकाय पुरोहितः ॥

Agni protected Atri, Bharadvāja, and Gaviṣṭhira; he protected Kaṇva and Trasadasyu in the call of battle. Vasiṣṭha invokes Agni, the priest set in front, for our healing grace—the priest set in front.
