Purvarcika-Chapter 1 >> Section 7
ओ३म् आ जुहोता हविषा मर्जयध्वं नि होतारं गृहपतिं दधिध्वम्।
इडस्पदे नमसा रातहव्य सपर्यता यजतं पस्त्यानाम्॥६३
इडस्पदे नमसा रातहव्य सपर्यता यजतं पस्त्यानाम्॥६३
English:- Honour and adore Agni with havi, adorn embellish and develop this power of yajna, establish this chief of yajna and presiding spirit of the home in place, and serve this receiver and giver of the gifts of yajna on the vedi with humble submission as the most honoured member of the family.
ओ३म् चित्र इच्छिशोस्तरुणस्य वक्षथो न यो मातरावन्वेति धातवे।
अनूधा यदजीजनदधा चिदा ववक्षत्सद्यो महि दूत्यां३चरन्॥६४
अनूधा यदजीजनदधा चिदा ववक्षत्सद्यो महि दूत्यां३चरन्॥६४
English:- Wondrous is the invigorating and sustaining power of the newly risen youthful Agni which never goes to its parental source for food and energy replenishment. And if you say that the udderless creator has given it birth, even so, going on its great ambassadorial mission, it carries the fragrant message of yajna to the divinities immediately on its birth. (Rigved 10-115-1)
ओ३म् इदं त एकं पर उ त एकं तृतीयेन ज्योतिषा सं विशस्व।
संवेशनस्तन्वे३चारुरेधि प्रियो देवानां परमे जनित्रे॥६५
संवेशनस्तन्वे३चारुरेधि प्रियो देवानां परमे जनित्रे॥६५
English:- This (body, this life time) is one mode of your existence. The one next (mind and karma) is another such. By the third (spiritual and meditative life), O man, join you with life eternal. On merging of the soul, happy and darling of the divinities, be free in the presence of the supreme creator of the world. (Rigved 10-56-1) Another interpretation is that one manifestation of Agni is as fire on the earth, the second is as vayu or electric energy in the middle region, and the third is as light in the solar region.
ओ३म् इम स्तोममर्हते जातवेदसे रथमिव सं महेमा मनीषया।
भद्रा हि न प्रमतिरस्य ससद्यग्ने सख्ये मा रिषामा वयं तव॥६६
भद्रा हि न प्रमतिरस्य ससद्यग्ने सख्ये मा रिषामा वयं तव॥६६
English:- This song of celebration and worship in honour of venerable Jataveda, Agni, omnipresent in the created world and lord omniscient, we sing in praise of his glory with our mind and soul in sincerity and offer it to him as a joyous holiday chariot fit for his majesty. Blessed is our mind in his company, while we sit in the assembly of devotees. Agni, lord of light and knowledge, we pray, may we never come to suffering while we enjoy your company and friendship. (Rigved 1-94-1)
ओ३म् मूर्धानं दिवो अरतिं पृथिव्या वैश्वानरमृत आ जातमग्निम्।
कवि सम्राजमतिथिं जनानामासन्ना पात्रं जनयन्त देवा॥६७
कवि सम्राजमतिथिं जनानामासन्ना पात्रं जनयन्त देवा॥६७
English:- The divinities of nature and humanity light the sacred fire: supreme light of heaven, vital fire of life of the earth, Vaishvanara, leader and energiser of the world, born of cosmic law and the fire of cosmic yajna. It is the visionary, even the revolutionary, poet, ruler of the world, sacred as a chance visitor, voice of the people, sustainer of life and its order. (Rigved 6-7-1)
ओ३म् वि त्वदापो न पर्वतस्य पृष्ठादुक्थेभिरग्ने जनयन्त देवा।
तं त्वा गिर सुष्टुतयो वाजयन्त्याजिं न गिर्ववाहो जिग्युरश्वा॥६८
तं त्वा गिर सुष्टुतयो वाजयन्त्याजिं न गिर्ववाहो जिग्युरश्वा॥६८
English:- Agni, lord of beneficence sung and celebrated in hymns of holiness, just as warriors rush to battle for victory, so do joyous holy yajakas and celebrants eager for karmic action and life's victory hasten to you with homage and yajnas performed with these hymns of praise and songs of adoration, and then, just as rain showers pour from the heights of clouds and streams flow down from the top of mountains, so do fruits of piety and gifts of divine grace shower down and flow, from you. (Rigved 6-24-6)
ओ३म् आ वो राजानमध्वरस्य रुद्र होतार सत्ययज रोदस्योः।
अग्निं पुरा तनयित्नोरचित्ताद्धिरण्यरूपमवसे कृणुध्वम्॥६९
अग्निं पुरा तनयित्नोरचित्ताद्धिरण्यरूपमवसे कृणुध्वम्॥६९
English:- All ye people of the land, before the unexpected and inconceivable thunder and lightning, light the fire and, for the protection and advancement of your peaceful, non-violent yajnic social order in the midst of heaven and earth, appoint the golden gloried ruler, a very Rudra, saviour of the good, a terror for the evil, hota, a yajaka and not a grabber or hoarder, but one inviolably dedicated to truth and Dharma. (Rigved 4-3-1)
ओ३म् इन्धे राजा समर्यो नमोभिर्यस्य प्रतीकमाहुतं घृतेन।
नरो हव्येभिरीडते सबाध आग्निरग्रमुषसामशोचि॥७०
नरो हव्येभिरीडते सबाध आग्निरग्रमुषसामशोचि॥७०
English:- The spirit of life, Agni, which the ruling leader challenging the battle of life kindles with faith, reverence and fragrant oblations, feeding its physical symbol, the yajnic fire, with ghrta, honour and dignity of life, the leading lights of the nation take over, augment it and celebrate it with the best offers of yajna, and then, just as the light of the sun earlier obstructed by nightly darkness rises and shines with the dawns in advance of the day, so does the spirit of the nation earlier suppressed arise on the clarion call of yajna. (Rigved 7-8-1)
ओ३म् प्र केतुना बृहता यात्यग्निरा रोदसी वृषभो रोरवीति।
दिवश्चिदन्तादुपमामुदानडपामुपस्थे महिषो ववर्ध॥७१
दिवश्चिदन्तादुपमामुदानडपामुपस्थे महिषो ववर्ध॥७१
English:- Agni, mighty abundant power and presence, goes forward with lofty lightning force and banner roaring over heaven and earth. It goes to the very heights and bounds of heaven in all directions and sub-directions and pervades in the middle regions in the depth of vapours and the mighty one grows mightier there at the heart of clouds. (Rigved 10-8-1)
ओ३म् अग्निं नरो दीधितिभिररण्योर्हस्तच्युतं जनयत प्रशस्तम्।
दूरेदृशं गृहपतिमथव्युम्॥७२
दूरेदृशं गृहपतिमथव्युम्॥७२
English:- O leading lights of yajna, let the people produce fire by the heated friction of arani woods done with the manual motion of hands. Fire is an admirable power seen from afar and shining far and wide, sustaining home life like a guardian but otherwise silent, implicit in nature and non-violent. Further create this domestic energy by your acts of research and intelligence. (Rigved 7-1-1)
