这首简短的阿耆尼赞歌称颂他迅疾的“轭与战车”——象征他迅速临近并在祭祀中有效施为的力量——并赞美他如天界般的辉耀光明,环护敬拜者,以不朽之光照临四周。末尾以共同祈祷作结:愿阿耆尼与因陀罗、苏摩及诸神的协助相合,在冲突中赐予护佑与胜利。
Mantra 1
वाजयन्निव नू रथान्योगाँ अग्नेरुप स्तुहि । यशस्तमस्य मीळ्हुषः ॥
如同催策诸般力之丰盈者,如今当赞颂阿耆尼(Agni)的轭与战车——那最光辉的慷慨施与者(mīḷhuṣ)之具,令内在迅疾前进。
Mantra 2
यः सुनीथो ददाशुषेऽजुर्यो जरयन्नरिम् । चारुप्रतीक आहुतः ॥
彼为施与者引导善道者,不衰不败,磨耗内在之敌;容相可爱,因供献而被点燃(āhuta)。
Mantra 3
य उ श्रिया दमेष्वा दोषोषसि प्रशस्यते । यस्य व्रतं न मीयते ॥
那位以自身光辉,在诸家宅中于夜与黎明之际受赞颂者;其誓律(vrata)不衰不减者——阿耆尼(Agni),安住于真理(ṛta)之节律。
Mantra 4
आ यः स्वर्ण भानुना चित्रो विभात्यर्चिषा । अञ्जानो अजरैरभि ॥
那位如天界之光而来者,以光辉呈现万彩,凭其焰光(arciṣ)灿然照耀;以不老的照明之力,从四方为我们傅涂、加持。
Mantra 5
अत्रिमनु स्वराज्यमग्निमुक्थानि वावृधुः । विश्वा अधि श्रियो दधे ॥
循阿特里(Atri)之自王权(svarājya)而行,诸颂歌使阿耆尼(Agni)增长;他将一切光荣置于其上——在存在之中安立光明与圆满的丰盈。
Mantra 6
अग्नेरिन्द्रस्य सोमस्य देवानामूतिभिर्वयम् । अरिष्यन्तः सचेमह्यभि ष्याम पृतन्यतः ॥
凭借阿耆尼(Agni)、因陀罗(Indra)、苏摩(Soma)以及诸天(deva)护佑的援助,我们得以无伤而与他们相依相契;并且我们将胜过那些与我们交战者,克服内在之战。
It praises Agni as a swift, powerful helper in the sacrifice and as a radiant light that strengthens the worshipper, ending with a prayer for safety and victory over opponents.
It is a poetic way to describe Agni’s means of rapid action—how the fire-power quickly reaches the offering and carries it effectively to the gods, and how that same force drives inner progress.
The hymn is primarily to Agni, but it concludes by invoking allied divine supports—Agni with Indra, Soma, and the other gods—so the worshipper’s protection and success are reinforced from multiple powers.
