1. ROUSED from
their bosom is the Dawns' beloved, the joyous Priest, most sapient, Purifier.
He gives a signal both to Gods
and mortals, to Gods oblations, riches to the pious.
2 Most wise is
he who, forcing doors of Panis, brought the bright Sun to us who feedeth many.
The cheerful Priest, men's
Friend and home-companion, through still night's darkness he is made apparent.
3 Wise, ne.'er
deceived, uncircumscribed, refulgent, our gracious guest, a Friend with good
attendants,
Shines forth with wondrous
light before the Mornings; the young plants hath he entered, Child of Waters.
4 Seeking our
gatherings, he, your Jatavedas, hath shone adorable through human ages,
Who gleams refulgent with his
lovely lustre: the kine have waked to meet him when enkindled.
5 Go on thy
message to the Gods, and fail not, O Agni, with their band who pray and
worship.
Bring all the Gods that they may
give us riches, Sarasvati, the Maruts, Asvins, Waters.
6 Vasistha,
when enkindling thee, O Agni, hath slain jarutha. Give us wealth in plenty.
Sing praise in choral song, O
Jatavedas. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
