ओ३म् अबोध्यग्नि समिधा जनानां प्रति धेनुमिवायतीमुषासम्।
यह्वा इव प्र वयामुज्जिहाना प्र भानव सस्रते नाकमच्छ॥१७४६
यह्वा इव प्र वयामुज्जिहाना प्र भानव सस्रते नाकमच्छ॥१७४६
English:- Agni is seen and known while rising by the burning samidhas lighted by the yajakas at dawn coming up like a cow early in the morning, and the flames, like branches of a mighty tree, rise brilliantly and touch the sky where there is no pain, no darkness. (Rigved 5-1-1)
ओ३म् अबोधि होता यजथाय देवानूर्ध्वो अग्नि सुमना प्रातरस्थात्।
समिद्धस्य रुशददर्शि पाजो महान्देवस्तमसो निरमोचि॥१७४७
समिद्धस्य रुशददर्शि पाजो महान्देवस्तमसो निरमोचि॥१७४७
English:- The yajaka Agni, good at heart, is seen to invoke the divinities and noble sages to the yajna and rises high while the fire keeps burning and rising. The light of the burning fire is seen as a blissful divine power and then the great refulgent sun rises from the night's darkness. (Rigved 5-1-2)
ओ३म् यदीं गणस्य रशनामजीग शुचिरङ्क्ते शुचिभिर्गोभिरग्नि।
आद्दक्षिणा युज्यते वाजयन्त्युत्तानामूर्ध्वो अधयज्जुहूभि॥१७४८
आद्दक्षिणा युज्यते वाजयन्त्युत्तानामूर्ध्वो अधयज्जुहूभि॥१७४८
English:- When the pure and lustrous fire of yajna, as the sun, rises with its pure bright flames and takes over the reins of the conduct of the yajnic world around, then the invigorating and powerful dakshina offering is made with the ladles, the flames of fire rise high, and the fire higher and higher up voraciously consumes the offering. (Rigved 5-1-3)
ओ३म् इद श्रेष्ठं ज्योतिषां ज्योतिरागाच्चित्र प्रकेतो अजनिष्ट विभ्वा।
यथा प्रसूता सवितु सवायैवा रात्र्युषसे योनिमारैक्॥१७४९
यथा प्रसूता सवितु सवायैवा रात्र्युषसे योनिमारैक्॥१७४९
English:- Here comes this dawn, light of lights, supreme, wonderful, bright and enlightening, rising and expanding. Just as the night comes over for regeneration of the sun, so does it uncover the womb of darkness for the coming of dawn. (Rigved 1-113-1)
ओ३म् रुशद्वत्सा रुशती श्वेत्यागादारैगु कृष्णा सदनान्यस्याः।
समानबन्धू अमृते अनूची द्यावा वर्णं चरत आमिनाने॥१७५०
समानबन्धू अमृते अनूची द्यावा वर्णं चरत आमिनाने॥१७५०
English:- The bright dawn comes shining with light, bearing the bright sun new born. The dark night leaves its regions open for the light. Both, like sisters of the same one brother, immortal, assume their own form of light, one bright, the other covered and both come in succession, each retiring and succeeding the other. (Rigved 1-113-2)
ओ३म् समानो अध्वा स्वस्रोरनन्तस्तमन्यान्या चरतो देवशिष्टे।
न मेथेते न तस्थतुः सुमेके नक्तोषासा समनसा विरूपे॥१७५१
न मेथेते न तस्थतुः सुमेके नक्तोषासा समनसा विरूपे॥१७५१
English:- One and the same is the path of the two sisters, which is space, endless and infinite, existentially speaking, which they follow one after the other as ordained by the Divine. They neither overlap, nor encroach, nor clash, nor stand still for a moment. Fixed and firm, each on its own, and of harmonious nature are they, although the night and the dawn are of different forms which are apparently contradictory as light and darkness. (Rigved 1-113-3)
ओ३म् आ भात्यग्निरुषसामनीकमुद्विप्राणां देवया वाचो अस्थुः।
अर्वाञ्चा नून रथ्येह यातं पीपिवासमश्विना घर्ममच्छ॥१७५२
अर्वाञ्चा नून रथ्येह यातं पीपिवासमश्विना घर्ममच्छ॥१७५२
English:- The holy fire of the sun shines here while the splendour of the dawn radiates as advance forces of the solar fire, and the holy voices of the sages arise in adoration. O Ashvins, vitalities of divinity, reach here by chariot of the dawn and join the rising fire of the house-hold yajna of noble men and women.(Rigved5-76-1)
ओ३म् न सस्कृतं प्र मिमीतो गमिष्ठान्ति नूनमश्विनोपस्तुतेह।
दिवाभिपित्वेऽवसागमिष्ठा प्रत्यवर्त्तिं दाशुषे शम्भविष्ठा॥१७५३
दिवाभिपित्वेऽवसागमिष्ठा प्रत्यवर्त्तिं दाशुषे शम्भविष्ठा॥१७५३
English:- Ashvins, divinities of nature and humanity, most auspicious harbingers of peace and joy, invoked and invited to the yajna here, celebrated and adored, coming at the fastest, almost instantly reaching with protection and promotion at the rise of the day, you do not destroy, nor restrict, nor confine what has been refined, seasoned and sanctified by yajna. In fact, you bring safety and security against adversity and self-betrayal for the generous yajamana at his closest. (Rigved 5-76-2)
ओ३म् उता यात संगवे प्रातरह्नो मध्यन्दिन उदिता सूर्यस्य।
दिवा नक्तमवसा शन्तमेन नेदानीं पीतिरश्विना ततान॥१७५४
दिवा नक्तमवसा शन्तमेन नेदानीं पीतिरश्विना ततान॥१७५४
English:- And this exuberance of yajnic celebration and joy is not confined to the present moment only, it extends over days and nights. Come Ashvins, divinities of nature and nobilities of men and women, come at the rise of dawn, at mid day when the sun is risen up on high, in the evening when the cows come home. Come all day and night with your gifts of safety and security, peace and joy. (Rigved 5-76-3)
