Sukta 1.99
Agni (Jātavedas)
Himne satu ayat ini menyeru Agni sebagai Jātavedas, api yang maha mengetahui, sementara Soma diperah sebagai persembahan untuk menguatkan upacara. Agni dipohon agar membakar lenyap niat permusuhan dan menyeberangkan pemuja dengan selamat melampaui setiap laluan yang sukar—seperti perahu menyeberangi sungai—menjauhi bahaya dan jalan yang sesat.
It asks Agni (Jātavedas) to accept the Soma offering, destroy hostile forces, and carry the worshipper safely beyond every difficult situation, like a boat crossing a river.
Jātavedas means “knower of all that is born.” The hymn highlights Agni’s all-knowing power that can identify and burn away harmful opposition and guide us rightly.
It is suited to a fire offering (homa/yajña), especially when seeking protection. Many also recite it before travel or important transitions, praying to cross obstacles safely.
