Mantras
Mantra 1
वया इदग्ने अग्नयस्ते अन्ये त्वे विश्वे अमृता मादयन्ते । वैश्वानर नाभिरसि क्षितीनां स्थूणेव जनाँ उपमिद्ययन्थ ॥
Agni, sab aag tujhe manti hain. Tu hi asli aag hai jo kabhi nahi bujhti. Tu sab jagah ka beej hai, jaise kisi cheez ka beech ka hissa. Tu khamba ki tarah sab logon ko sambhalta hai aur sahi raaste pe le chalta hai.
Mantra 2
मूर्धा दिवो नाभिरग्निः पृथिव्या अथाभवदरती रोदस्योः । तं त्वा देवासोऽजनयन्त देवं वैश्वानर ज्योतिरिदार्याय ॥
Agni aasmaan ka sar aur dharti ka naabhi ban gaya. Phir woh dono duniya ke beech mein kaam karne laga. Devtaon ne tumhe paida kiya, Vaishvanar Agni. Tum ek roshni ho jo sahi raasta dhoondne wale ke liye bani ho.
Mantra 3
आ सूर्ये न रश्मयो ध्रुवासो वैश्वानरे दधिरेऽग्ना वसूनि । या पर्वतेष्वोषधीष्वप्सु या मानुषेष्वसि तस्य राजा ॥
Jaise sooraj ki kiranen pakki hoti hain, waise hi Vaishvanar Agni mein sab kuch hai. Pahadiyon mein jo hai, paudhon mein jo hai, paani mein jo hai, logon mein jo hai, sab ka tum raja ho.
Mantra 4
बृहती इव सूनवे रोदसी गिरो होता मनुष्यो न दक्षः । स्वर्वते सत्यशुष्माय पूर्वीर्वैश्वानराय नृतमाय यह्वीः ॥
Jaise dono badi duniya apne bete ke liye hai, waise shabd aate hain. Agni Hota hai, jo ek samajhdar insaan ki tarah kaam karta hai. Woh roshni wali duniya ka malik hai, usmein sachchai ki taqat hai. Purani baatein Vaishvanar ke paas aati hain jo sabse aage chalta hai.
Mantra 5
दिवश्चित्ते बृहतो जातवेदो वैश्वानर प्र रिरिचे महित्वम् । राजा कृष्टीनामसि मानुषीणां युधा देवेभ्यो वरिवश्चकर्थ ॥
Jatavedas Vaishvanar, tumhari badai aasmaan se bhi aage badh gayi hai. Tum insaanon ke samajh ka raja ho. Tumne ladai karke devtaon ke liye raasta saaf kiya hai.
Mantra 6
प्र नू महित्वं वृषभस्य वोचं यं पूरवो वृत्रहणं सचन्ते । वैश्वानरो दस्युमग्निर्जघन्वाँ अधूनोत्काष्ठा अव शम्बरं भेत् ॥
Ab main is bail ki badai batata hoon jisko Puru log follow karte hain kyunki woh rukawatein todta hai. Vaishvanar Agni ne dushmanon ko maara, bandhan tod diye, aur Shamber ko tod diya.
Mantra 7
वैश्वानरो महिम्ना विश्वकृष्टिर्भरद्वाजेषु यजतो विभावा । शातवनेये शतिनीभिरग्निः पुरुणीथे जरते सूनृतावान् ॥
Agni ko Vaishvanar kehte hain. Woh sab logon ko jodta hai, itni badi baat hai. Bharadvaj parivar mein log iski puja karte hain. Chamakta hua agni hai yeh. Sau taakaton se sau kaam karta hai. Bahut saare maarg dikhata hai. Sach bolta hai, achhi baat karta hai. Yeh agni purana hai, kab se chal raha hai.
