Rig Veda 3.2.1: Mandala 3, Sukta 2, Mantra 1

Sukta 3.2

Rishi: Viśvāmitra (RV 3.2 family context)
Devata: Agni Vaiśvānara
Chandas: Jagatī (probable; longer line typical of Jagatī in such openings)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

वैश्वानराय धिषणामृतावृधे घृतं न पूतमग्नये जनामसि । द्विता होतारं मनुषश्च वाघतो धिया रथं न कुलिशः समृण्वति ॥

Transliteration

vaiśvānará̄ya dhiṣáṇām ṛtā-vṛ́dhe ghṛtáṁ na pūtám agnáye janāmasi | dvitā́ hótāraṁ mánuṣaś ca vā́ghato dhiyā́ ráthaṁ na kúliśaḥ sám ṛṇvati ||

Translation

Pour Vaiśvānara — pour Agni qui fait croître la vision inspirée dans la Loi de Vérité — nous engendrons une offrande clarifiée, telle un ghee purifié. L’adorant humain façonne de nouveau le Hotar ; par la pensée il assemble le char, comme le forgeron au marteau.
