Anuvaka 3

1a (Thou I art) earth in depth, sky in breadth, atmosphere in greatness;     In thy lap, O goddess Aditi, Agni     I place, food-eater for the eating of food.     b The spotted bull hath come     And reached again the mother     And the father, faring to the heaven.     c Thirty places be ruleth;     Speech resorteth to the bird     Bear it with the days.     d With her inspiration from his expiration,     She wandereth between the worlds;     The bull discerneth the heaven.     e If thee [1] in anger I have scattered,     In rage or through misfortune,     That of thee, O Agni, be in good order,     Again thee we relight.     f Whatever of thee scattered in rage     Was spread over the earth,     That the Adityas, the All-gods     And the Vasus gathered together.     g Mind, light, rejoice in the oblation.     May be unite this scattered sacrifice;     May Brhaspati extend it;     May the All-gods rejoice herein.     h Seven are thy kindling-sticks, O Agni, seven thy tongues;     Seven seers [2], seven dear abodes,     Seven priesthoods sevenfold sacrifice to thee;     Seven birthplaces with ghee do thou fill.     i Return with strength, return,     O Agni, with food and life;     Again guard us on all sides.     k Return with wealth, O Agni,     Fatten with the stream,     All gaining on every side.     l Leka, Salekha, Sulekha, may these Adityas rejoicing partake of our oblation; Keta, Saketa, Suketa, may these Adityas rejoicing partake of our oblation; Vivasvan, Aditi, Devajuti, may these Adityas rejoicing partake of our oblation.
