Rig Veda 7.1.19: Mandala 7, Sukta 1, Mantra 19

Sukta 7.1

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha (traditional for Maṇḍala 7)
Devata: Agni (protector and purifier); with appeal to ṛtāvaḥ (guardians of Ṛta)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable)

मा नो अग्नेऽवीरते परा दा दुर्वाससेऽमतये मा नो अस्यै । मा नः क्षुधे मा रक्षस ऋतावो मा नो दमे मा वन आ जुहूर्थाः ॥

mā no agne’vī́rate párā dā durvā́sase’́mataye mā no asyái | mā naḥ kṣúdhe mā rákṣasa ṛtāvo mā no dáme mā vána ā juhūrthāḥ ||

Hỡi Agni, xin đừng ném chúng con vào cảnh mất đi dũng lực nội tâm; xin đừng trao chúng con cho chỗ ở dữ và cho cái chết chưa chín muồi. Xin đừng giao chúng con cho đói khát, cũng đừng cho bóng tối của Rakṣas kẻ nuốt chửng; hỡi những bậc hộ trì ṛta (trật tự chân chính của vũ trụ), xin đừng xua đuổi chúng con—khỏi mái nhà, cũng đừng đẩy vào hoang dã của mê loạn.
