कदु॑ प्रि॒याय॒ धाम्ने॑ मनामहे॒ स्वक्ष॑त्राय॒ स्वय॑शसे म॒हे व॒यम् । आ॒मे॒न्यस्य॒ रज॑सो॒ यद॒भ्र आँ अ॒पो वृ॑णा॒ना वि॑त॒नोति॑ मा॒यिनी॑ ॥ कदु प्रियाय धाम्ने मनामहे स्वक्षत्राय स्वयशसे महे वयम् । आमेन्यस्य रजसो यदभ्र आँ अपो वृणाना वितनोति मायिनी ॥
When may we offer adoration to the benevolent splendour, strong in its own (strength), self-sustaining with food, deserving of worship; when the delusive (energy of Agni), investing (the heavens), spreads the waters above the clouds over the unbounded firmament.
english translation
ता अ॑त्नत व॒युनं॑ वी॒रव॑क्षणं समा॒न्या वृ॒तया॒ विश्व॒मा रज॑: । अपो॒ अपा॑ची॒रप॑रा॒ अपे॑जते॒ प्र पूर्वा॑भिस्तिरते देव॒युर्जन॑: ॥ ता अत्नत वयुनं वीरवक्षणं समान्या वृतया विश्वमा रजः । अपो अपाचीरपरा अपेजते प्र पूर्वाभिस्तिरते देवयुर्जनः ॥
These dawns diffuse the consciousness that is apprehended by pious men, and (overspread) the whole world with uniform, investing (light); the devout man disregards the dawns which have turned back, and (those which) are to come, and improves (his understanding) by those which have proceeded.
english translation
आ ग्राव॑भिरह॒न्ये॑भिर॒क्तुभि॒र्वरि॑ष्ठं॒ वज्र॒मा जि॑घर्ति मा॒यिनि॑ । श॒तं वा॒ यस्य॑ प्र॒चर॒न्त्स्वे दमे॑ संव॒र्तय॑न्तो॒ वि च॑ वर्तय॒न्नहा॑ ॥ आ ग्रावभिरहन्येभिरक्तुभिर्वरिष्ठं वज्रमा जिघर्ति मायिनि । शतं वा यस्य प्रचरन्त्स्वे दमे संवर्तयन्तो वि च वर्तयन्नहा ॥
(Animated) by the libations offered by day and by night, (Indra) sharpens his vast thunderbolt against the beguiler (Vṛtra); he whose hundred (rays) attend him in his own abode, sending away, and bringing back (revolving) days.
english translation
ताम॑स्य री॒तिं प॑र॒शोरि॑व॒ प्रत्यनी॑कमख्यं भु॒जे अ॑स्य॒ वर्प॑सः । सचा॒ यदि॑ पितु॒मन्त॑मिव॒ क्षयं॒ रत्नं॒ दधा॑ति॒ भर॑हूतये वि॒शे ॥ तामस्य रीतिं परशोरिव प्रत्यनीकमख्यं भुजे अस्य वर्पसः । सचा यदि पितुमन्तमिव क्षयं रत्नं दधाति भरहूतये विशे ॥
(I behold) the practice of that (Agni) as of a deputy (or axe); I celebrate the host (of rays) of that (resplendent) form, (designed) for the enjoyment (of mankind); if he be with (the worshipper), he bestows upon the man who invokes him at a sacrifice such opulence as a mansion abounding with food.
english translation
स जि॒ह्वया॒ चतु॑रनीक ऋञ्जते॒ चारु॒ वसा॑नो॒ वरु॑णो॒ यत॑न्न॒रिम् । न तस्य॑ विद्म पुरुष॒त्वता॑ व॒यं यतो॒ भग॑: सवि॒ता दाति॒ वार्य॑म् ॥ स जिह्वया चतुरनीक ऋञ्जते चारु वसानो वरुणो यतन्नरिम् । न तस्य विद्म पुरुषत्वता वयं यतो भगः सविता दाति वार्यम् ॥
Blazing with his (fiery) tongue in the four quarters (of the horizon) he proceeds (to the sacrifice), wearing beautiful (lustre), the disperser of darkness, extirpating foes; we know him not (as endowed) with manhood, whereby this adorable Savitā bestows desirable (wealth).
