main aag k devta ki pooja karta hoon
chunay huay pundit ji ki, bhagwaan ki
yagya-chaari pundit ji ki
jo bhagwaan ko pukaartay haiN
hum ko dhan dilaatay haiN
2
aak k aur sub puraany waqt k sant logoN ne
aag k devta ki pooja ki hai
vo yahaan sub devtoN ko laata hai
3
aag ka devta manush ko dhan deta hai
haan, har din khoob deta hai
manush ko baDa hero banata hai
aur uski prashansa duniya karti hai
4
aag k devta, tum yagya ko poora kartay ho
such main sub devta is ko maan laitay hain

The Rig Veda
Mandala 1, Hymn 1.
Translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith
1. I Laud Agni, the chosen Priest, God, minister of sacrifice,
The hotar, lavishest of wealth.
2. Worthy is Agni to be praised by living as by ancient seers.
He shall bring. hitherward the Gods.
3. Through Agni man obtaineth wealth, yea, plenty waxing day by day,
Most rich in heroes, glorious.
4. Agni, the perfect sacrifice which thou encompassest about
Verily goeth to the Gods.
5. May Agni, sapient-minded Priest, truthful, most gloriously great,
The God, come hither with the Gods.
6. Whatever blessing, Agni, thou wilt grant unto thy worshipper,
That, Angiras, is indeed thy truth.
7. To thee, dispeller of the night, O Agni, day by day with prayer
Bringing thee reverence, we come
8. Ruler of sacrifices, guard of Law eternal, radiant One,
Increasing in thine own abode.
9. Be to us easy of approach, even as a father to his son:
Agni, be with us for our weal.
