Mantra 3
Agni as the victorious, wealth-bestowing sacrificial power who destroys impediments and brings prayer’s fruit (offspring, prosperity) to the yajamāna.
ब्रह्म प्रजावदा भर जातवेदो विचर्षणे अग्ने यद्दीदयद्दिवि
brahma prajāvadā bhara jātavedo vicarṣaṇe agne yaddīdayaddivi
brahma prajāvad ā bhara jātavedo vicarṣaṇe agne yad dīdayad divi
ഹേ ജാതവേദസ്, സന്താനസമൃദ്ധമായ ബ്രഹ്മം (പവിത്രസ്തുതി) ഞങ്ങളിലേക്കു കൊണ്ടുവരിക; ഹേ അഗ്നി, ഒരിക്കൽ ദിവിയിൽ ദീപ്തനായവനേ, മനുഷ്യരിടയിലും പ്രകാശിച്ചിരിക്കണമേ.
