English translation:

“{Text is missing}”

Perform sacrifice yourself as superior sacrificer, o Hotar Agni, when prompted, pressingly as if at the hitching up of the Maruts.
Here to us you should turn Mitra and Varuṇa, the Nāsatyas, Heaven and Earth to the Hotar-work.

Although the vs. seems superficially straightforward, it presents a number of small difficulties. We might start with the meter of pāda c: in order to reach 11 syllables, something has to be distracted. Holland & van Nooten Rig Veda edition suggest nā́satiyā, but this produces a bad cadence: - ⏑ ⏑ ×. Oldenberg (ZDMG 55.300 and Noten) instead suggests distracting the initial preverb ā́, which produces an even worse cadence (-ṇā nā́satyā

• • • ×). And the third possibility, náasatyā, produces a third type of bad cadence (⏑⏑ - ×). Only if we could read the first vowel of nā́satyā as distracted - ⏑ can we fix the cadence, but there is no real license for this.

The first morphological problem is bā́dhaḥ in pāda b. Grassmann takes it as the acc. pl.

of a root noun ‘Treiber, Förderer’, but it is hard to fit this into the passage semantically. Schindler (Rt. nouns) finds the passage unclear and does not commit to a root noun interpr., much less a case form. Scarlatta (346-47) takes it as a root noun, but in the abl. sg. (“aus dem Drängen heraus”), in which he calls a “hoffnungslos obskur” passage – a characterization that, given the super-abundance of hopelessly obscure parts of the RV, seems rather overdramatic for this minor conundrum. With Oldenberg (ZDMG 55.300), Geldner, and Renou – and pace Scarlatta (346-47) – I take bā́dhaḥ as an adverbially used neut. s-stem, like (and perhaps truncated from) sabā́dhaḥ, also an adverbially nom.-acc. s-stem, which, however, Scarlatta also thinks is an old abl. sg. of the root noun. However, even if Scarlatta should be right, the interpr. of bā́dhaḥ as abl. sg.

of a root noun could be adapted to the adverbial interpr. with one further step (as he recognizes): ‘out of urgency’ à ‘urgently’.

The next question is the application of the simile marútāṃ ná práyukti and the morphological identity of the last word. To start with the latter, with most interpr. I take it as an instr. *-tī shortened in pause (or, with a more modern descrip., with loss of its final laryngeal in pause [and here before a vowel beginning the next hemistich]). But what does the hitching up of the Maruts have to do with Agni’s sacrificial performance? My assumption is that the simile is limited to qualifying the adverbial bā́dhaḥ ‘pressingly, urgently’. Since everything the Maruts do is precipitous, no doubt the yoking up of their horses is performed with the same urgency, to get on the road as soon as possible. Both Geldner and Renou push prá √yuj further than I think it should go – to ‘impulsion, instigation’ (“wie auf Betreiben der Marut” and “à l’instigation des Marut” respectively), a sense that seems distant from the ‘yoke, hitch up’ sense of √yuj. I also don’t see that the Maruts would be the ones to set Agni’s sacrificing in motion; they are not even associated with the dawn sacrifice and don’t have much to do with Agni. My “at the hitching up” reads as if it were a locative. Though that tr. was made for English parsing reasons, I might slightly alter it to “with the hitching up.” In pāda d both Geldner and Renou (flg. Grassmann’s interpr.) take hotrā́ya as simply referring to the sacrifice (e.g., “zu unserem Opfer”), but hotrá- is elsewhere not the sacrifice, but the office of Hotar or the performance of the Hotar’s duties. My tr. (“turn [various gods] to the Hotar-work”) makes it seem that those gods will perform that office, but, since Agni is the Hotar par excellence (see, e.g., pāda a, also 2a, 6a), it must rather be that Agni is urged to cause the gods to turn towards his own performance of his duties. It might be clearer if the tr. read “toward my Hotar-work.”

EAGERLY Sacrifice thou, most skilful, Agni! Priest, pressing on as if the Maruts sent thee.
To our oblation bring the two Nasatyas, Mitra and Varuna and Earth and Heaven.

Opfere, o Hotri, da du aufgefordert bist, als der besser Opfernde dringlich wie auf Betreiben der Marut, o Agni! Du sollst Mitra und Varuna, die Nasatya´s, Himmel und Erde, zu unserem Opfer herbringen.

Aufs beste opfre, Priester, du den Helden, erregt wie durch der Maruts Antrieb, Agni; Zu unserm Opfer wende her die Ritter, den Varuna und Mitra, Erd’ und Himmel.

Жертвуй, о хотар, приглашенный (нами) как жертвующий лучше (всякого другого),
О Агни, упорно, словно по настоянию Марутов!
Да повернешь ты Митру-Варуну, Насатьев,
Небо и Землю к нашему жертвоприношению!

English translation:

“{Text is missing}”

You are our most gladdening Hotar, without deceit, god among men through (all) the rites.
As the conveyor (of oblations) with your mouth, o Agni, with your pure tongue perform sacrifice yourself to your own self.

ā́yásmin tvé … yákṣat. I would now alter the tr. here to “For even the wealthy Holy Place longs to sacrifice in you to the gods, to their races, for the singer”

– though I am still bothered by the prá.

Another problem in this syntagm is devā́ñ jánma. Oldenberg (explicitly, ZDMG 55.300) and Geldner (in tr.) take devā́n as a gen. pl., a form that could either represent the survival of a very archaic PIE gen. in *-ōm or the truncation of the standard form devā́nām. I do not think this nec., subscribing to Renou’s assertion (in n.) “devā́ñ jánma ne comporte pas de désinence abrégée our archaïque, mais signifie «la génération (, à savoir) les dieux»,” with devā́n and jánma as parallel acc. In the second hemistich the referent of the subj., vépiṣṭho áṅgirasām … vípraḥ is in question. Geldner, flg. Sāyaṇa., suggests the current poet, and the presence of the singer in b (gṛṇaté) might support this view. However, his superlative status among the Aṅgirases makes it more likely that it is Agni. Cf. the similar expression in I.127.1 jyéṣṭham ángirasāṃ vipra “(We call upon you), o inspired poet, as the oldest/most important of the Aṅgirases,” as well as the fairly frequent use of áṅgirastama- ‘first/best of the Aṅgirases’ for Agni (I.31.2, 75.2; VIII.23.10, 43.18, 44.8). If Agni is the referent, there has been a switch from 2nd ps. reference (tvé in pāda a) to 3rd ps.

reference here, but this is hardly novel. See the next vs. (5).

As disc. ad VI.3.6, I interpr. rebhá- not as ‘singer’, but as ‘hoarse/huskyvoiced (singer)’, sometimes used of Agni, whose crackling is likened to singing. He is so identified nearby in VI.3.6, and the use of this adj. here is another piece of evidence that Agni is the referent of the subject in this hemistich.

In d chandáḥ is taken by Grassmann as the sole example of suffix-accented thematic chandá- (not only in the RV but, acdg. to Whit, Rts., anywhere), beside chánda-. Grassmann glosses our form ‘singend, preisend’ and chánda- as ‘glänzend, strahlend’; Geldner, by contrast, takes it as an s-stem and dismisses the accent: “chandáḥ doch wohl für chándaḥ.” Pointing to the suggestive juxtaposition mádhu chandáḥ here, a near exact match for the PN madhuchandaḥ, to whom the first ten hymns in the RV are ascribed (though the name doesn’t appear in the RV text), he tr. “seine süsse Weise.” Renou follows suit (“le doux chant”), with the somewhat cryptic note “chandáḥ «qui charme», comme chándaḥ.” (Curiously, Oldenberg doesn’t comment.) Although I would like to be able to follow their interpr., with chandáḥ an anomalously accented neut. sstem, rather than an -á-stem with Grassmann, I do not see any way to get the suffix accent redactionally or grammatically. My interpr. again introduces complications, but in this case I think they are necessary to avoid positing arbitrary accent shifts. I would suggest that the form is an s-stem, derivationally related to neut. chándas- ‘rhythm, meter,’ showing the usual rightward accent shift of adjectival possessive derivatives to neut. s-stems – hence ‘having rhythm’. I wish that the form in the text were chandā́s (chandā́in sandhi), describing Agni the poet, but it is not. I therefore think it is either a neut. used adverbially (“rhythmically” as in the published translation) or that it qualifies mádhu “rhythmic honey,” of the song.

Thou art our guileless, most delightful Herald, the God, among mankind, of holy synods.
A Priest with purifying tongue, O Agni, sacrifice with thy mouth to thine own body.

Du bist unser wohlredendster, nie trügender Hotri, der Gott, der unter den Sterblichen die Opfer zustande bringt. Als der Wortführer mit lauterer Zunge opfere dir selbst, o Agni!

Du bist uns hold, der angenehmste Priester, ein Gott bei Menschen, zwischen beiden Scharen; Du bist’s, der darbringt mit der Flammenzunge, o opfre, Agni, deinen eignen Körper.

English translation:

“{Text is missing}”

For even the wealthy Holy Place longs for (this) in regard to you, (to put you) forward to sacrifice to the gods, to their races, for the singer,
when the most inspired of the Aṅgirases, the inspired poet rhythmically speaks his honey, hoarse-voiced in his quest.

There are several metrical problems in this vs. Pāda c has the caesura after 3; there seems no way to remedy this, and the rest of the meter is fine. Pāda a is rather more interesting: the Saṃhitā text as given yields 10 syllables; there are two possible distractions: dhán(i)yā (Holland & van Nooten Rig Veda edition’s choice) and t(u)vé, but both produce the same bad cadence (⏑ - - ×). As Oldenberg points out (ZDMG 55.300 and Noten), if we distract neither of these choices, the vs. reads fine until the last word, with an opening of five and dhiṣáṇā taking post-caesura position. (It is worth noting that dhiṣáṇā- is almost always immediately post-caesura, whether after an opening of 4 or of 5.) All that’s wanting to make a fine Triṣṭubh line is a single light syllable preceding váṣṭi.

Although I would not presume to supply such a syllable (nor does Oldenberg), it does seem preferable to allow for a rest here with syncopation, rather than to choose one of the two possible distractions that yield a bad cadence.

The syntax and exact sense of the first hemistich are somewhat unclear. Geldner and Renou take the pādas together, with dhiṣáṇā as subj. both of váṣṭi and of the infin.

yájadhyai (approx. “the Holy Place wishes to sacrifice in you …”). I have two objections to this interpr.: 1) as Oldenberg (ZDMG 55.300) points out (sim. Renou; see below), it is Agni who should be doing the sacrificing (though I.109.4, where dhiṣánā presses soma willingly [uśatī́], renders this objection less forceful); 2) the prá beginning pāda b suggests that there’s an intermediate verb form between váṣṭi and the infinitive or at least that there’s a subclausal break at the pāda boundary. Renou also notices the 2nd problem indirectly, suggesting in his n. an alternative tr. “elle veut (ceci): qu’(Agni) sacrifie en avant” (with the prá presumably represented by “en avant”). My published translation

reflects such an intermediate verb form, from a supplied form of √dhā, with a form of ‘you’ also to be supplied — with the sense “to (put) (you) forward to sacrifice …” For √dhā + yájadhyai see nearby VI.15.15 ní tvā dadhīta ródasī yájadhyai “One should set you [=Agni] down, to sacrifice to the two world-halves.” The locution dhiṣáṇā √dhā is also quite common, aided by real or pseudo-etymological association; cf. III.31.13 … dhiṣánā … dhā́t; III.56.6 dhiṣaṇe … dhāḥ, IV.34.1 …

dhiṣáṇā … ádhāt; VI.19.2 … dhiṣáṇā … dhāt; VII.90.3 … dhiṣáṇā dhāti. However, I am now no longer sure that my objections to the standard tr. are strong enough to merit the additional complexity of my published interpr., and I am also disturbed by having to interpr. loc. tvé as “in regard to you.” The next hymn contains a passage that strongly encourages construing tvé here with yájadhyai “to sacrifice in you”:

For even the blessed longing that is in thee would bring the Gods down to the singer’s worship,
When the Angirases’ sagest Sage, the Poet, sings the sweet measure at the solemn service.

Denn auch die reichmachende Dhisana wünscht in dir dem Geschlecht der Götter für den Sänger zu opfern, wenn der beredteste Redner der Angirasen als Lobredner seine süße Weise im Wunsch nach den Göttern ertönen läßt.

In dir ja will die reiche Opferschale dem Götterstamme opfern für den Sänger; Wenn preisend nun der weiseste der weisen, der Dichter singend rühmt den Trank beim Opfer.

Ведь даже сама обогащающая Дхишана хочет в тебя
Принести жертву роду богов для певца,
Когда самый вдохновенный из Ангирасов поэт
Исполняет сладкую песнь в поисках (богов), (он) прославитель.

He has flashed, the very clever, wide-radiant one. O Agni, perform sacrifice yourself to the two world-halves of broad extent—
(you, Agni,) whom, like Āyu, they anoint with reverence—the five
peoples having bestowed oblations (anoint) him who receives the
pleasurable offerings.

On svápāka- see comm. ad IV.3.2.

Note the switch from 3rd ps. reference (pāda a) to 2nd ps. (b). The 2nd ps.

reference continues by default through the rest of the vs., though the published translation appears to switch back to 3rd ps.: (“(anoint) him …”) for Engl. convenience.

Bright hath he beamed, the wise, the far-refulgent. Worship the two widespreading Worlds, O Agni,
Whom as the Living One rich in oblations the Five Tribes, bringing gifts, adorn with homage.

Er ist aufgeleuchtet mit schöner Kehrseite erstrahlend. O Agni, opfere du den geräumigen Rodasi, den die fünf Völker unter Verneigung Opfer bringend wie den Ayu salben, den Gutbewirteten.

O Agni, opfre beiden weiten Welten; er strahle leuchtend aus der Ferne kommend, Den Opfer bringend die fünf Stämme salben mit Ehrfurcht wie den Wandrer, der zum Mahl kommt.

Он вспыхнул, ярко сверкая, (бог,) прекрасный (и) со спины.
О Агни, принеси жертву двум широким половинам вселенной,
(Ты,) кого, словно Аю, с поклонением умащают
Дающие жертвы, обладателя прекрасных жертвенных услад - пять народов.

Oldenberg (ZDMG 55.301), fld. by Geldner and Renou, interprets vṛñjé as a t-less 3rd sg.

passive, rather than as the 1st sg. it appears to be. I do not see the necessity for this.

The same VP is found in I.116.1 (… bárhir iva prá vṛñje), where the 1st ps. interpr. is reinforced by the flg. pāda containing the 1st sg. act. iyarmi. Further, in the almost identical pāda VII.2.4 prá vrñjate námas ̥ ā barhír agnaú, the med. 3rd pl. vṛñjate must be transitive with sg. bárhiḥ as obj. The best support (see Oldenberg) for a pass. interpr. is that then all 4 pādas in this vs. would begin with a passive (b: áyāmi, c ámyakṣi, d áśrāyi), but in that case we might expect a form more parallel to the other three.

Although √vṛj has no passive aorist attested, there are no morphological or phonological barriers to building *ávarji (cf. the very common ásarji to √sṛj ‘discharge’). I confess I do not understand the sequence of tense, with pres. vṛñjé in the yád clause, followed by 3 main clause augmented aorists, but taking vṛñjé as a passive does not solve this problem.

I do not understand the semantic difference between sádman- and sádana-, if there is one.

When I with reverence clip the grass for Agni, when the trimmed ladle, fullof oil, is lifted,
Firm on the seat of earth is based the altar: eye-like, the sacrifice is directed Sun-ward.

Sobald das Barhis unter Verneigung um Agni gelegt wird, ward ihm der schmalzhaltige Löffel und das Loblied dargeboten. Sein Sitz ist auf dem Boden der Erde angebracht, das Opfer beruht auf ihm wie das Augenlicht auf der Sonne.

Da Streu dem Agni demuthsvoll geschmückt ist, gereicht der reine buttervolle Löffel, So funkelt hell sein Sitz am Platz der Erde; es zielt sein Opfer wie das Aug’ zur Sonne.

Когда с поклонением переворачивается жертвенная солома у Агни,
(Ему) подносится жертвенная ложка с жиром (и) гимн.
Его сиденье покоится на седалище земли.
Жертва опирается (о него), словно взгляд о солнце.

English translation:

“{Text is missing}”

Be favorable to us, o Hotar of many faces, along with the gods, on being kindled along with (the other) fires, o Agni.
O son of strength, clothing ourselves in riches as if in a girthband, may we slip beyond difficult straits.

As noted above, ad VI.10.2, the phrase agníbhir idhānáḥ is found both there and in the next hymn, VI.12.6. It therefore seems unlikely that devébhiḥ should be construed in this collocation, despite its apparent parallelism, and, with Geldner and Renou, I take it as an instr. of accomp. with daśasyā́.

My interpr. of the simile in the 2nd hemistich differs from the standard. Geldner and Renou assume that the comparandum for vṛjánaṃ ná is áṃhaḥ. Given the adjacency of the two expressions, this is reasonable. Geldner’s version, however, relies on a somewhat unlikely interpr. (insofar as we understand this root) of áti √sras as ‘abstreifen’ (strip off): “… möchten wir die Not wie einen Gürtel abstreifen,” and the notion of “stripping off” áṃhas- seems odd. Renou’s “puissions nous … glisser hors du défile-étroit comme (hors de) l’encerclement (ennemi)” does better with the verb, but requires vṛjána- to have a particular negative sense not elsewhere met with (pace his citation of X.27.5). In the published translation I take the simile with rāyáḥ .. vāvasānā́ḥ “clothing ourselves in riches,” comparing the wealth we wear with a girthband. For a very similar expression, cf. I.173.6 sáṃ vivya índro vrjána ̥ ṃ ná bhū́ mā “Indra has enwrapped himself in earth, like a circlet,” with the same simile. Although the distance between rāyáḥ and the simile might speak against this interpr., it does work better semantically, and the parallel passage provides strong support. It does give me pause, however, that Michael Weiss is not convinced and thinks vṛjánaṃ ná must be construed with áṃhaḥ.

Enrich us, O thou Priest of many aspects, with the Gods, Agni, with thy fires, enkindled.
O Son of Strength, clad in the robe of riches, may we escape from woe as from
a prison.

Erweis uns Huld, du vielgesichtiger Hotri, mit den Göttern, o Agni, wenn du mit den anderen Agni´s entzündet wirst. Mit Reichtum, o Sohn der Kraft, uns umgebend möchten wir die Not wie einen Gürtel abstreifen.

Sei hülfreich uns, o vielgestalt’ger Priester, entflammt durch Feuer, Agni mit den Göttern; Mit Gut versehn, o Gott der Stärke, reichlich, lass Noth wie eine Kluft uns überspringen.

Будь благосклонен к нам, о многоликий хотар,
Вместе с богами, о Агни, когда (тебя) зажигают (другими) огнями!
О сын силы, рядясь в богатства,
Пусть выскользнем мы из беды, как из окружения!
