RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I

HYMN 67

Rishi: PARASHARA Deity: AGNI

Victor in the woods, friend among men, he chooses divine hearing as the king elects an unaging councillor. He is like our perfect welfare. Well-disposed, he is a happy will for action. Summoner (of the Gods), he carries our offerings.
Holding all powers in his hand, seated in the secret cavern, Agni sustains all the Gods. Men of thought come to know him when they utter the Mantras carved by the heart.

Agni seated in our inner cavern of heart upbears all the Gods.

The Mantras are those carved out in the heart.

Like the unborn, he bears the wide earth. With truth-formed Mantras he upholds the heaven. Guard thou the Cow whose footprints are dear (to us), O Agni, life of the universe, enter into the secrecy of the secret cave.
He who knows Agni in the cave, who attains to the stream of Truth, they who touching the truths kindle him, to such does he announce the riches.

The riches are the speech laden with divine treasure.

He who implants his greatnesses in growths of earth, bears the born and those in the mothers’ womb, is awareness in the abode of Waters and life universal. The wise measure and fashion him like a home.

They build Agni in themselves.

Sri Aurobindo’s rendering of the hymn :

He is the conqueror in the forests; in mortals he is a friend: he chooses inspiration as a king an unaging councillor. He is as if our perfect welfare;⁷

He holds in his hands all mights; sitting in the secret cave he upholds⁸

As the unborn he has held the wide earth, he has up-pillared heaven with his Mantras of truth. Guard the cherished footprints of the Cow of vision; O Fire, thou art universal life, enter into the secrecy of secrecies.⁹

He who has perceived him when he is in the secret cave, he who has come to the stream of the Truth, those who touch the things of the Truth and kindle him, - to such a one he gives word of the Riches.
He who in the growths of earth holds up his greatnesses, both the progeny born and what is in the mothers, he is Knowledge in the house of the Waters, and life universal; the thinkers have measured and constructed him like a mansion.
