Sanskrit Original
स प्र॒त्नथा॒ सह॑सा॒ जाय॑मानः स॒द्यः काव्या॑नि॒ बळ॑धत्त॒ विश्वा॑ । आप॑श्च मि॒त्रं धि॒षणा॑ च साधन्दे॒वा अ॒ग्निं धा॑रयन्द्रविणो॒दाम्
sa pratnathā sahasā jāyamānaḥ sadyaḥ kāvyāni baḷadhatta viśvā āpaśca mitraṃ dhiṣaṇā ca sādhandevā agniṃ dhārayandraviṇodām
He striving, born with might, immediately endowed all the past songs with strength. The gods adorned Mitra and the Wise; they established Agni, the bearer of delight.
Engendered by force, Agni verily appropriates, as soon as born, the offerings of the sages; the waters and voice make him their friend, and the gods retain him as the giver of (sacrificial) wealth.
HE in the ancient way by strength engendered, lo! straight hath taken to himself all wisdom. The waters and the bowl have made him friendly. The Gods possessed the wealth bestowing Agni.
