Anuvaka 6
1a I gaze on offspring, Offspring of Ida, connected with Manu; May they all be in our house. b Ye are water; may I share your water. Ye are greatness, may I share your greatness; ye are might, may I share your might; ye are strength, may I share your strength. c Ye wealthy ones, stay in this place, this fold, this dwelling, this birthplace; be ye here; go not hence; be many for me [1]. d Thou art composed of every form; enter me with strength, with lordship of kine, with increase of wealth. e May I prosper with your thousandfold prosperity; may your wealth rest in me. f To thee, O Agni, day by day, That shinest in the darkness, with our devotion, We come bearing honour. g Lord of the sacrifices, Guardian of holy order, shining, Waxing in his own horne. h O Agni, be of easy access to us, As a father to his son; Befriend us for prosperity. i O Agni [2] be thou our nearest, Our protector, kindly, a shield; Thee, O shining and most radiant one, We implore for favour, for our friends; Agni, bright, of bright fame, Come hither in thy greatest splendour and give us wealth. k With strength I gaze on you; gaze on me with strength. With increase of wealth I gaze on you; gaze on me with increase of wealth. l Ye are food, making sweetness; kindly enter me, nourishment and drink; may I prosper with your thousandfold prosperity [3], may your wealth rest on me, m That excellent glory of Savitr The god we meditate, That be may stimulate our prayers.' n Make famous the Soma-presser, O lord of prayer, Even as (thou did make famous) Kaksivant Auçija. o Never art thou barren, O Indra, Never dost thou fail thy worshipper; Now more and more is thy divine gift increased, O bountiful one. p May we set thee around us, O Agni, The sage, the strong, as a fort, Of daring hue, day by day Destroyer of that which may be broken. q O Agni, lord of the house, through thee as lord of the house, may I be a good lord of the house; through me as lord of the house, mayst thou be a good lord of the house; for a hundred winters, this blessing I invoke, bringing light for the race; this blessing I invoke, bringing light for N.
