Being kindled thou reignest to-day, a god with the gods, O conqueror of thousandfold (wealth)! As messenger, as a sage, carry the oblations (to the gods).\n2. O Tan\u00fbnap\u00e2t! For him who walks in righteousness the sacrifice is anointed with honey. May he 1 grant thousandfold food.\n3. Receiving libations, worthy of being magnified 1 bring hither to us the worshipful gods. Agni! Thou art a winner of thousandfold (bliss).\n4. They have spread with might the eastward-turned sacrificial grass, blessing (our tribe) with a thousand men 1, (at the place) where you reign, O \u00c2dityas!\n5. The Prince, the Sovereign, the mighty ones, the eminent ones 1, the (Divine) Doors, which are many and more than many, have sent forth streams of ghee.\n6. Adorned with gold, wearing beautiful ornaments you verily reign high 1 in your splendour. Sit down here, ye two Dawns 2.\n7. May the two fine-voiced divine Hotris, the sages, perform as the first this sacrifice for us.\n8. Bh\u00e2rat\u00ee! Il\u00e2! Sarasvat\u00ee! All ye (goddesses) whom I invoke, promote us to splendour.\n9. Tvashtri indeed, the eminent (god) has shaped all forms, all cattle. Do thou by sacrifice produce their increase.\n10. Yield up by thyself, O tree, (the sacrificial food) to the abode of the gods 1. May Agni make the offerings relishable.\n11. Agni going in front of the gods is anointed with this G\u00e2yatra song; he shines when Sv\u00e2h\u00e2 is pronounced (over the oblations).\nThe Rishi is Agastya, the metre G\u00e2yatr\u00ee. This \u00c2pr\u00ee hymn is closely related to hymn X, 110, the author of which no doubt knew and imitated our hymn.\u2014No verses occur in the other Samhit\u00e2s.\nNote 1. I have taken d\u00e1dhat as a third person, the subject being Tan\u00fbnap\u00e2t. But it may be a participle referring to yag\u00f1\u00e1h: 'the sacrifice which procures thousandfold food is anointed with honey.'\nNote 1. The text has \u00ee\u00b4dyah.\nNote 1. 'This is the Dasav\u00eera sacrifice of the S\u00e2ktyas. Ten valiant sons are born to those who perform it.' Pa\u00f1kavimsa Br\u00e2hmana. XXV, 7, 4.\nNote 1. These are evidently names of the divine doors.\u2014As to the nominative d\u00farah, see Lanman, p. 486.\nNote 1. On adhi-vi-r\u00e2g, comp. IX, 75, 3. \u00e1dhi triprishth\u00e1h ush\u00e1sah v\u00ed r\u00e2gati.\nNote. 2. I. e. Dawn and Evening.\nNote 1. Literally: 'to the abode, for the gods.' Comp. the corresponding verse (10) of the \u00c2pr\u00ee hymn X, 110. dev\u00e2\u00b4n\u00e2m p\u00e2\u00b4thah.","title":"Vedic Hymns, Part II (SBE46): I, 188. \u00c2pr\u00ee Hymn","type":"page"}
