1.
\nMissioned and strong to sacrifice, offer the sacrifice. Priest of the call; O
\nFire, put away from us as if by the applied force of the Life-gods all that
\nopposes. Turn in their paths towards our offering Mitra and Varuna and the twin
\nLords of the journey and Earth and Heaven. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2.
\nTo us thou art our priest of the invocation, harmless and perfect in ecstasy;
\nthou art the god within in mortals that makes the discoveries of knowledge; thou
\nart the carrier with the burning mouth, with the purifying flame of oblation. O
\nFire, worship with sacrifice thy own body. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3.
\nIn thee the understanding is full of riches and it desires the gods, the divine
\nbirths, that the word may be spoken and the sacrifice done, when the singer, the
\nsage, wisest of the Angirasas chants his honey-rhythm in the rite. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4.
\nHe has leaped into radiance and is wise of heart and wide of light; O Fire,
\nsacrifice to the largeness of Earth and Heaven. All the five peoples lavish the
\noblation with obeisance of surrender and anoint as the living being Fire the <\/p>\n

\nPage \u2013 266<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

   
\nbringer of their satisfactions. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

5.
\nWhen the sacred grass has been plucked with prostration of surrender to the
\nFire, when the ladle of the purification full of the light-offering has been set
\nto its labour, when the home has been reached in the house of Earth and the
\nsacrifice lodged like an eye in the sun, \u2014 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6.
\nO Son of Force, O Fire, kindling with the gods thy fires, Priest of the call.
\nPriest with thy many flame-armies, dispense to us the Treasures; shining with
\nlight let us charge beyond the sin and the struggle. <\/p>\n

1.
\nIn the midmost of the gated house Fire, the Priest of the call, the King of the
\nsacred seat and the whip of swiftness, to sacrifice to Earth and Heaven! This is
\nthe Son of Force in whom is the Truth; he stretches out from afar with his light
\nlike the sun. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2.
\nWhen a man sacrifices in thee, O King, O Lord of sacrifice? when he does well
\nhis works in the wise and understanding Fire like Heaven in its all-forming
\nlabour, triple thy session; <\/p>\n

\nPage \u2013 267<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

   
\nthy speed is as if of a deliverer, when thou comest to give the sacrifice whose
\nofferings are man’s human fullnesses. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3.
\nA splendour in the forest, most brilliant-forceful is the speed of his
\njourneying; he is like a whip on the path and ever he grows and blazes. He is
\nlike a smelter who does hurt to none; he is the Immortal who wakes of himself to
\nknowledge: he cannot be turned from his way mid the growths of the earth. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4.
\nFire, the knower of all things born, is hymned by our paeans in the house as if
\nin one that walks on the way. He feeds on the Tree and conquers by our will like
\na war-horse; this shining Bull is adored by us with sacrifice like a father. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

5.
\nAnd now his splendours chant aloud and he hews with ease and walks along the
\nwideness of the earth. He is rapid in his race and in a moment is loosed
\nspeeding to the gallop: he is like a thief that runs; his light is seen beyond
\nthe desert places. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6.
\nO War-Horse, us from the bondage deliver, kindling, O Fire, with all thy fires;
\nfor thou travellest to the Riches and scatterest the forces of affliction and
\nsorrow. May we revel in the rapture, strong with the strength of the Heroes,
\nliving a hundred winters. <\/p>\n

\n\t1. O felicitous Fire, of thee are all felicities and they grow wide from
\n\tthee like branches from a tree. For quickly come, in the piercing of the
\n\tPython adversary, the Riches and the desirable plenty and the Rain of Heaven
\n\tand the flowing of the Waters. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2. Thou art Bhaga of the felicities and thou pourest on us the ecstasy and
\n\ttakest up thy house in us, a pervading presence and a potent splendour. O
\n\tdivine Fire, like Mitra thou art a feeder on the vast Truth and the much joy
\n\tand beauty. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t3. O Fire born of the Truth, O thinker and knower, when consenting with the
\n\tChild of the Waters thou takest pleasure in a man and speedest him with the
\n\tTreasure, he becomes a master .over beings and in his might slays the Python
\n\tadversary and becomes a seer and carries out with him the riches of the
\n\tDweller in the Cave. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t4. O Son of Force, the mortal who has reached to the intensity of thee by
\n\tthe word and the utterance and the altar and the sacrifice, draws to him
\n\tsufficiency of every kind of wealth, O divine Fire, and walks on the way
\n\twith his riches.  \n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tPage \u2013 269<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t5. O Fire, O Son of Force, found for men that they may grow, happy riches of
\n\tinspiration with strength of its hero-keepers, \u2014 many herds, thy creation in
\n\tthy might, but now a food for the wolf and the foe and the destroyer. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t6. O Son of Force, become the vast speaker within us; give us the Son of our
\n\tbegetting, give us all that is packed with the plenitudes; let me enjoy by
\n\tmy every word satisfaction of fullness. May we revel in the rapture, strong
\n\twith the strength of the Heroes, living a hundred winters. <\/p>\n

\n\t1. When mortal man by his musings comes to take pleasure of work and thought
\n\tin the Fire, he shines with light and is one supreme; he receives the
\n\timpulsion that leads him to safety. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2. The Fire is the thinker and knower, the Fire is a mightiest disposer of
\n\tworks and a seer. To Fire the Priest of the in-vocation the peoples of men
\n\taspire in their sacrifices. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t3. Of many kinds are they who seek thy safeguard and strive with the Fire
\n\tfor his riches; men breaking through the <\/p>\n

\n\tPage \u2013 270<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

\n\t    Destroyer seek to overcome his lawless strength by the order of their
\n\tworks. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t4. The Fire gives to, man a Master of beings, a Warrior who overbears the
\n\tcharge of the foe and wins the Waters; the enemies are afraid at his very
\n\tsight and scatter in panic from his puissance. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t5. The Fire is the godhead who rescues mortal man by knowledge from the
\n\tBinder. A forceful thing is the treasure of his riches, unencircled by the
\n\tadversary, unbesieged in its plenitudes. <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t6. O Fire, O friendly Light, O Godhead turn to the Godheads, mayest thou
\n\tspeak for us the true thought of Earth and Heaven; march in peace to the
\n\thappy abode and the Men of Heaven. Let us pass safe beyond the foe and the
\n\tsin and the
\n\tstumbling. Let us pass beyond these things, pass in thy keeping through them
\n\tsafe. <\/p>\n

\n\t1. Thou must crown with the word the
\n\tguest who wakes from sleep with the dawn. Master of all these peoples. He is
\n\tpure from his very birth and surely he comes to us from heaven in his time;
\n\tlong too, a child from the womb, he feeds on all that is unfallen.<\/font>\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2. The Bhrigus set in the Tree the
\n\tgodhead of our aspiration with his high flame of light like a friend
\n\twell-confirmed in his place. And now, O Wonderful, well-pleased in him who
\n\thas cast to thee the offering, thou art magnified by wordings of thy power
\n\tfrom day to day.<\/font> <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t3. Be in us the one whom the wolf
\n\tcannot rend, the god who makes grow the discernment, makes grow the supreme
\n\tinner Warrior who delivers.\u00b9 O Son of Force, extend in mortals the Riches,
\n\tthe wide-spreading House, for the caster of the offering, for Bharadwaja the
\n\twide-spreading House.<\/font> <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t4. Crown must thou the guest shining
\n\twith light, the Male of the Sun-world, the Priest of man’s invocation who
\n\tmakes perfect the Rite of the Path. Crown with your acts of purification the
\n\tSeer whose speech has its home in the Light,\u00b2 the Carrier of offerings, the
\n\tTraveller, the Godhead of Fire.<\/font> <\/p>\n

5. He shines with the light that makes pure, the light that awakens to
\n\tknowledge, shines in beauty on the earth as if with a splendour of Dawn. He
\n\tis as if one hewing his way in the march and battle of the shining Horse; he
\n\tis like one athirst and luminously blazing, the ageless Fire.  <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6. Fire and again Fire set to work with your fuel, chant with your speech
\n\tthe dear, the beloved Guest. Approach and set the Immortal alight with your
\n\twords; a god he enjoys in the gods our desirable things, \u2014 a god, he enjoys
\n\tour works in the gods. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

7. I chant the Fire that is kindled with the word for fuel, the Fire that is
\n\tpure and makes pure; Fire that is steadfast for ever and marches in front in
\n\tthe Rite of the Path. We desire with his felicities the Illumined, the
\n\tPriest of the call, the harmless, rich with many blessings, the Seer who
\n\tknows all births that are. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

8. O Fire, they have set thee here the Messenger, the Immortal in generation
\n\tafter generation, the Carrier of offerings, protector of man and the Godhead
\n\tof his prayer. Gods alike and mortals sit with obeisance before the
\n\tall-pervading Master of the peoples, the ever-wakeful Fire. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPage \u2013 273<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

9. O Fire, according to the laws of thy works thou pervadest either race;
\n\tthou art the messenger of the Gods and rangest both the worlds. Since we
\n\thave accepted thy thinking and the right understanding that is thine, be to
\n\tus our triple armour of defence and benignant helper. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

10. May we who know not come into touch with this great knower with his true
\n\tfront and just walk and perfect vision. May he who knows all manifested
\n\tthings\u00b9 do sacrifice for us, may Fire voice our offering in the world of the
\n\tImmortals. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

11. O heroic Fire, thou guardest and bringest safe to the other side the man
\n\twho has reached to the Thought for thee the Seer and achieved the intensity
\n\tof the sacrifice or its ascending movement; thou fillest him with might and
\n\triches.  <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

12. O Fire that hast the Force, guard us from fault, guard from one who
\n\twould subject us. May there come to thee along the path full of destructions
\n\tthe thousandfold delectable treasure. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

13. Fire, the Priest of the invocation, is a king and the Master in our
\n\thouse; all the births he knows, he is of all things born the Knower. He is
\n\tstrong to sacrifice and the Truth is in him; let him do sacrifice for gods
\n\tand mortals. <\/p>\n

14. O Fire, O Light that makest pure, O summoning Priest of man’s sacrifice,
\n\ttoday when thou comest as a doer of worship, today when thou growest
\n\tall-pervading in thy greatness and offerest the things of the Truth for
\n\tsacrifice, today carry with thee our offerings, O ever-youthful Fire, even
\n\tthe truths that are thine. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

15. Open thy manifesting eye on our firm-based pleasant things; let a man
\n\tset thee within him to sacrifice to Earth and Heaven. Protect us, O King of
\n\tRiches, in our conquest of  the plenitudes; O Fire, may we pass safe
\n\tthrough all the stumbling-places. Let us pass beyond these things, pass in
\n\tthy keeping through them safe. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

16. O Fire with thy strong armies of flame, sit with the gods, first of them
\n\tall, in the wool-flecked lair where the Nest is ready and the
\n\tlight-offering; lead for the doer of the rite, for the presser of the wine
\n\trightly on its paths the sacrifice. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

17. This is that Fire whom the ordainers of works churn out like Atharvan of
\n\told; a Power unbewildered, they led him in his zigzag walk from the dusky
\n\tNights. <\/p>\n

\n\t<\/b>Be born to us in our all-forming labour for the coming of the
\n\tGods, for our peace. Bring the gods to us, the Immortals, the builders of
\n\tthe growing Truth; give to our sacrifice touch on the gods. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

19. O Fire, O man’s master of the house, we have fed thee with our fuel and
\n\tmade thee a vastness; let the works of the house-master be unhalting, make
\n\tus utterly keen with thy intense force of light. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. Offer worship with thy rapturous tongues in the Rite of the Path to the
\n\tGreat Ones. Bring the gods to us, do them sacrifice. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. O ordainer of works, mighty of will, by thy revealing light\u00b9 in the

\n\tthe giver of the offering, the multitude of these desirable things! <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6. Thou art the Immortal messenger; lend ear to the laud of the seer and
\n\tbring the Divine People. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

7. Men deeply meditating aspire to thee that the godheads may come to them;
\n\tmortals they aspire to the God in the sacrifice. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

8. Bring into sacrifice thy perfect sight and thy will; rich are thy gifts
\n\tand in thee is the joy of all who desire. <\/p>\n

\n\tadversary conscious with a multiple knowledge, the Servant of Heaven’s Fire,
\n\tmaster of beings. <\/p>\n

of the Indivisible Mother, to the company of the Life-Gods, to Earth and
\n\tHeaven. <\/p>\n

25. O Fire, O Child of Energy, full of riches is thy vision for the mortal,
\n\tthe vision of the immortal, and it imparts to him its impulse. <\/p>\n

26. Let the giver be the best by work of the will; today winning thee let

29. O wide-seeing Fire, God who knowest all births that are, bring to us the

\n\tthat worketh calamity; O Seer of the Word, protect us. <\/p>\n

31. The mortal of evil movements who gives us over to the stroke, guard us,

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

34. Let Fire the seeker of the treasure kindled and brilliant and fed with
\n\tour offerings slay with his flame of illumination the encircling
\n\tAdversaries. <\/p>\n

\n\tvision bringing our offerings for thy pleasure and let forth towards thee, O
\n\tFire, our words. <\/p>\n

\n\tthe refuge of thy peace, there where thou blazest with light and art a
\n\tvision of gold, O Fire. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

39. Thou art like a fierce fighter shooting arrows and like a sharp-horned
\n\tBull; O Fire, thou breakest the cities.  <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

40. They bring him like a beast of prey, like a new-born child they bear him
\n\tin their hands. Fire that effects the Rite of the Path for the peoples. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

41. Bring to us this great discoverer of riches, bring the god for the
\n\tcoming of the gods; let him take his seat in his own native home. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

42. In the felicitous Fire that knows all things born the Master of your
\n\tHouse is born to you; sharpen to his intensity the beloved guest. <\/p>\n

43. O God, O Fire, yoke those horses of thine that do well the work and can
\n\tbear thee sufficient for our passion.  <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

45. O Fire of the Bringers luminously lightening with thy incessant flame
\n\tupward burn; spread wide thy light, O ageless\u00b2<\/span>
\n\tpower. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

46. Let the mortal who would serve with his works the God in the advent,
\n\taspire bringing his offering to the Fire in the Rite of the Path; let him
\n\twith uplifted\u00b3 hands and with obeisance of surrender make shine the
\n\tsummoning Priest of Earth and Heaven, the fire of true sacrifice.4<\/font><\/sup>

\n\t<\/b>We bring to thee, O Fire, by the illumining word an offering that
\n\tis shaped by the heart. Let there be born from it thy impregnating bulls and
\n\tthy heifers. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

48. The Gods kindle, most strong to slay the Python adversary, the supreme
\n\tFire, the Horse of swiftness by whom the Riches are brought and pierced the
\n\tdemon-keepers. <\/p>\n
