Rig Veda 5.6.3Mandala 5, Sukta 6, Mantra 3

Sukta 5.6

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha (Vasiṣṭha-gotra tradition for Mandala 5; hymn to Agni)
Devata: Agni
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 5.6; requires full hymn metrical verification)

अग्निर्हि वाजिनं विशे ददाति विश्वचर्षणिः । अग्नी राये स्वाभुवं स प्रीतो याति वार्यमिषं स्तोतृभ्य आ भर ॥

agnír hí vājíṇaṃ viśé dádāti viśvácarṣaṇiḥ | agnī rāyé svā́bhuvaṃ sá prītó yāti vā́ryam íṣaṃ stotṛ́bhya ā́ bhara ||

For Agni, the all-supporting Power, gives to the people the vāja—plenitude of effective force. Agni, self-existent in his becoming, moves when pleased toward the rayi—fullness of being—and brings the choice impulsion of nourishment to the singers.
