Sukta 4.1

Rishi: Vāmadeva Gautama
Devata: Agni
Chandas: Trishtubh (probable; verify in critical edition)

स चेतयन्मनुषो यज्ञबन्धुः प्र तं मह्या रशनया नयन्ति । स क्षेत्यस्य दुर्यासु साधन्देवो मर्तस्य सधनित्वमाप ॥

sá cetayán mánuṣo yajñá-bandhuḥ prá táṃ mahyā́ raśanáyā nayanti | sá kṣéty asyá dúryāsu sā́dhan devó mártasya sadhani-tvám āpa ||

Il éveille l’homme comme parent du sacrifice ; alors on le mène en avant d’une puissante rêne. Il demeure dans ses maisons, accomplissant l’œuvre : le dieu atteint la compagnonnage chez le mortel — dans son gain et son accomplissement.
