Sukta 82
मय्यग्रे॑ अ॒ग्निं गृ॑ह्णामि स॒ह क्ष॒त्रेण॒ वर्च॑सा॒ बले॑न । मयि॑ प्र॒जां मय्यायु॑र्दधामि॒ स्वाहा॒ मय्य॒ग्निम्
máyy ágre agníṃ gṛhṇāmi sahá kṣatréṇa várcasā bálena | máyi prajā́ṃ máyy ā́yur dadhāmi svā́hā máyy agním ||
In me, first, I take Agni—together with ruling power, with splendour, with strength. In me I set offspring, in me I set life: svāhā! in me be Agni.
मय्यग्रेऽग्निं गृह्णामि सह क्षत्रेण वर्चसा बलेन। मयि प्रजां मय्यायुर् दधामि। स्वाहा—मय्यग्निर्भवतु॥
