Sukta 27
Sukta 5.27
Agni Vaiśvānara (with praise that also frames a bountiful lordly power; donor-context with Tri-aruṇa)
Is mantra mein Agni ko Vaishvanara ke roop mein bataya gaya hai. Wo ek aisi agni hai jo sab jagah phaili hui hai. Yeh duniya mein khushali aur sahi vyavastha dikhata hai. Tri-aruna naam ke daata ki baat bhi hai ismein. Mantra ka asar yajna ke shabd se juda hai. Ashvamedha ke baare mein bhi baat hai. Ant mein Indra aur Agni dono ko bulaya gaya hai. Unse rajya ki taakat bachaane ki prarthana ki gayi hai.
Mantras
Mantra 1
अनस्वन्ता सत्पतिर्मामहे मे गावा चेतिष्ठो असुरो मघोनः । त्रैवृष्णो अग्ने दशभिः सहस्रैर्वैश्वानर त्र्यरुणश्चिकेत ॥
Mujhe ek aisa neta chahiye jo sach ka malik ho, jiske paas taqat ho. Woh devta jo sabse zyada samajhta hai, woh mujhe apni barkat de. Agni, tum Vaishvanar ho, tumhare paas hazaaron ki taqat hai, tum teeno duniya ko roshan karte ho.
Mantra 2
यो मे शता च विंशतिं च गोनां हरी च युक्ता सुधुरा ददाति । वैश्वानर सुष्टुतो वावृधानोऽग्ने यच्छ त्र्यरुणाय शर्म ॥
Jo mujhe sau bees gaiyan deta hai, aur do taakatwali cheezein judi hui laata hai. Woh Agni, sabki prashansa karta hai aur badhta hai. Tryarun ke liye shanti maangta hai. Yeh Agni sabse bada hai aur sabko raksha deta hai.
Mantra 3
एवा ते अग्ने सुमतिं चकानो नविष्ठाय नवमं त्रसदस्युः । यो मे गिरस्तुविजातस्य पूर्वीर्युक्तेनाभि त्र्यरुणो गृणाति ॥
Agni, Trasadasyu tumhari acchi soch chahta hai. Woh naya gaana gaata hai jo sabse naya hai. Tryarun bhi purane shabd gaata hai jab uska mann juda hota hai. Dono tumhari prashansa karte hain.
Mantra 4
यो म इति प्रवोचत्यश्वमेधाय सूरये । दददृचा सनिं यते ददन्मेधामृतायते ॥
Jo kehta hai ki main yahan ashwamedh ke liye aaya hoon. Woh shaktishali raja ke liye ghoda deta hai. Jo mehnat karta hai usko fayda milta hai. Jo sahi raaste pe chalta hai usko samajh aati hai.
Mantra 5
यस्य मा परुषाः शतमुद्धर्षयन्त्युक्षणः । अश्वमेधस्य दानाः सोमा इव त्र्याशिरः ॥
Jismein sau taakatein mujhe utha rahi hain, jaise taakatwar bail. Ashwamedh ke daan se jo milta hai woh Soma jaisa hai. Soma teen tarah ki taakat deta hai, yeh bhi waisa hi hai.
Mantra 6
इन्द्राग्नी शतदाव्न्यश्वमेधे सुवीर्यम् । क्षत्रं धारयतं बृहद्दिवि सूर्यमिवाजरम् ॥
Indra aur Agni, tum sau vardaan dete ho. Ashwamedh mein jab poora bal deta hai tab tum shakti rakho. Raja ki taakat badi honi chahiye, jaise aasman mein Surya hamesha chamakta hai. Woh kabhi buddha nahi hota.
Frequently Asked Questions
Agni Vaiśvānara is Agni as the ‘universal’ fire—present in sacrifice and in the world—who brings light, order, and prosperity by carrying offerings and awakening clarity.
Tri-aruṇa appears as a patron/donor figure through whom Agni’s bounty and recognition are framed; the hymn reflects the Vedic link between ritual praise, patronage, and prosperity.
It treats the ṛc as effective action: the rightly spoken verse grants ‘gain’ to the striver and ‘medhā’ (inspired intelligence) to the one who follows truth (ṛta).
