Agni
Trishtubh (probable)
Is mantra mein Agni ki taarif ki gayi hai jo chamke aur sab jagah ujaala failaye. Agni ko aisa bola hai ki woh logon mein phaile aur jaagne wala ban jaaye. Yeh maanga hai ki Agni puja karne wale ko dhan de aur uska kaam ban jaaye. Har waqt log Agni ko aage rakh ke usse aashirwad maangte hain. Agni ko woh shakti bataya hai jo jeet laata hai aur logon ko aage badhata hai. Isliye sab usse apna netaji maan ke gaate hain.

Agni, tumhari badai aur shakti bahut badi hai. Tumhari chamak wali kiranain nikalti hain jo sab ko roshan karti hain. Tumhari chamak door tak failti hai. Tum apni taakat se jo log bhagwan ko denge unmein jeet ki shakti bhar dete ho. Tum rishi ho jo sab kuch jaante ho.

Agni, tum saaf karne wali chamak ke saath ugte ho. Tumhari roshni itni chamakdar hai. Tum kabhi kam nahi hote. Jaise beta apni do maaon ke beech chalta hai, waise tum aasman aur dharti ke beech aate ho humare kaam aane ke liye. Tum dono duniya ko bhar dete ho.

Frequently Asked Questions
It praises Agni as the radiant divine fire who brings prosperity and victorious energy (vāja) and strengthens the worshipper’s effective will (kratu), while upholding Ṛta (cosmic order).
Because Agni is placed at the beginning of worship as the leading power of the rite—he receives offerings first and carries them to the gods, so he is established ‘puro’ (in front).
Vāja is victorious strength and plenitude that helps one succeed; kratu is the capable will or effective intelligence that makes the sacrifice and one’s work fruitful.
