Sukta 3
जातवेदाः। दिवस्पृथिव्याः पर्यन्तरिक्षाद् वनस्पतिभ्यो अध्योषधीभ्यः । यत्रयत्र विभृतो जातवेदास्तत स्तुतो जुषमाणो न एहि
jātávedāḥ | divás pṛthivyā́ḥ pári antárikṣād vanaspátibhyo ’dhy òṣadhī́bhyaḥ | yátra-yatra víbhṛto jātávedās tát stutó juṣámāṇo na éhi ||
O Jātavedas: from heaven, from earth, encompassing from the mid-air; from the forest-lords, from the herbs—wherever thou art borne abroad, thither, praised and taking pleasure, come thou unto us.
ਹੇ ਜਾਤਵੇਦਾਸ (ਅਗਨੀ)! ਦਿਵ ਤੋਂ, ਧਰਤੀ ਤੋਂ, ਅੰਤਰਿਕਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਘੇਰ ਕੇ; ਵਨਸਪਤੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ, ਔਸ਼ਧੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ—ਜਿੱਥੇ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਤੂੰ ਵਿਸਤਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਧਾਰਿਆ/ਵਹਾਇਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ, ਓਥੇ ਓਥੇ ਸਤੁਤ ਹੋ ਕੇ, ਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਹੋ ਕੇ, ਸਾਡੇ ਕੋਲ ਆ।

Devata: Agni (Jātavedas)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (AV often irregular; longer pādas than anuṣṭubh)
