SUKTA 21

मनुष्वत् त्वा नि धीमहि मनुष्वत् समिधीमहि ।
अग्ने मनुष्वदङगिरो देवान् देवयते यज ॥१॥

1) As the human we set thee within us, as the human we kindle thee; O Fire, O Angiras, as the human offer sacrifice to the gods for the seeker of the godheads.


त्वं हि मानुषे जनेऽग्ने सुप्रीत इध्यसे ।
स्त्रुचस्त्वा यन्त्यानुषक् सुजात सर्पिरासुते ॥२॥

2) O Fire, thou art kindled in the human being and well-satisfied;

unceasing ladles go to thee, O perfect in thy birth, O thou who receivest as oblation the stream of his clarities!


त्वां विश्वे सजोषसो देवासो दूतमकत ।
सपर्यन्तस्त्वा कवे यज्ञेषु देवमीळते ॥३॥

3) Thee all the gods with one mind of acceptance made their envoy; men serving thee pray thee as the godhead in their sacrifices, O seer.


देवं वो देवयज्ययाऽग्निमीळीत मर्त्यः ।
समिद्धः शुक दीदिहयृतस्य योनिमासदः ससस्य योनिमासदः ॥४॥

4) Let mortal man with will to the divine sacrifice to you, pray to the divine Fire; O brilliant Flame, high-kindled shine; mayst thou take thy seat in the native home of the Truth, take thy seat in the native home of the peace.
