Sukta 10

Mantra 1

अग्न ओजिष्ठमा भर द्युम्नमस्मभ्यमध्रिगो । प्र नो राया परीणसा रत्सि वाजाय पन्थाम् ॥

O Agni, bring to us the most puissant luminous power, O unbroken one. With abundance of being and plenitude of riches, set for us forward the path that leads to the winning of the Force.

Mantra 2

त्वं नो अग्ने अद्भुत क्रत्वा दक्षस्य मंहना । त्वे असुर्यमारुहत्क्राणा मित्रो न यज्ञियः ॥

Thou, O Agni, art wonderful in thy will and in the impetuous bounty of thy skill. In thee the Asurya power mounts upward, growing; like Mitra, thou becomest worthy of the sacrifice by thy harmonizing mastery.

Mantra 3

त्वं नो अग्न एषां गयं पुष्टिं च वर्धय । ये स्तोमेभिः प्र सूरयो नरो मघान्यानशुः ॥

O Agni, increase for us their joy of being and their plenitude of growth—of those luminous men who by the hymns have won the gifts of the Great Ones.

Mantra 4

ये अग्ने चन्द्र ते गिरः शुम्भन्त्यश्वराधसः । शुष्मेभिः शुष्मिणो नरो दिवश्चिद्येषां बृहत्सुकीर्तिर्बोधति त्मना ॥

Those, O Agni, whose bright words adorn thee—rich in swift energies—those forceful men by their might awaken of themselves a vast and noble fame, even as if from heaven.

Mantra 5

तव त्ये अग्ने अर्चयो भ्राजन्तो यन्ति धृष्णुया । परिज्मानो न विद्युतः स्वानो रथो न वाजयुः ॥

Thine, O Agni, are those flames that go shining with a daring movement—like far-ranging lightnings; roaring like a chariot, they press on seeking the plenitude of force.

Mantra 6

नू नो अग्न ऊतये सबाधसश्च रातये । अस्माकासश्च सूरयो विश्वा आशास्तरीषणि ॥

Now, O Agni, be for our help and for our giving, and let our illumined ones with thee cross over all the horizons of hope toward the farther shore.

Mantra 7

त्वं नो अग्ने अङ्गिरः स्तुतः स्तवान आ भर । होतर्विभ्वासहं रयिं: स्तोतृभ्यः स्तवसे च न उतैधि पृत्सु नो वृधे ॥

Thou, O Agni of the Angiras, praised and ever praised, bring to us—O priest of the offering—a wealth that conquers all widenesses, for the singers and for the one who praises; and grow for us into increase in the battles.
