Sukta 110

Mantra 1

दीर्घायुः प्राप्तिः। प्र॒त्नो हि कमीड्यो॑ अध्व॒रेषु॑ स॒नाच्च॒ होता॒ नव्य॑श्च सत्सि । स्वां चा॑ग्ने त॒न्वं पि॒प्राय॑स्वा॒स्मभ्यं॑ च॒ सौभ॑ग॒मा य॑जस्व

For ancient is he, worthy to be lauded in rites—of old the Hotar, and yet ever new he sitteth. Thine own self, O Agni, do thou make to thrive; and for us win hither good fortune by thy worship.

Mantra 2

ज्ये॒ष्ठ॒घ्न्यं जा॒तो वि॒चृतो॑र्य॒मस्य॑ मूल॒बर्ह॑णा॒त् परि॑ पाह्येनम्। अत्ये॑नं नेषद् दुरि॒तानि॒ विश्वा॑ दीर्घायु॒त्वाय॑ श॒तशा॑रदाय

From that elder-slaying power, born of Yama’s rending Disperser—from the root-uprooting—do thou guard him round about. So may he be led beyond all misfortunes, unto long-livedness, unto a hundred autumns.

Mantra 3

व्या॒घ्रेऽह्न्य॑जनिष्ट वी॒रो न॑क्षत्र॒जा जाय॑मानः सु॒वीरः॑ । स मा व॑धीत् पि॒तरं॒ वर्ध॑मानो॒ मा मा॒तरं॒ प्र मि॑नी॒ज्जनि॑त्रीम्

Born on the Tiger-day, a hero—asterism-born—being born, a well-heroed one: let him, as he grows, not slay the father; let him not, in any wise, harm the mother, the very birth-giver.
