RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I

HYMN 68

Rishi : PARASHARA Deity: AGNI

Carrier (of our offerings), flaming, he ascends to the heavens. He unveils the mobile and the immobile and the nights. For alone, this God encompasses the great-nesses of all the Gods.
All joy in thy seer-will when, O God, thou art born living from what is dry; all resort to the divine Name; by thy movements they touch Truth and Immortality.

It is only when Agni manifests in the sapless bodily form that men follow his Will instead of their own.

He is the impulsions of the Truth, truth-bearing mind, life universal by which all carry out their works. He who offers to thee, or learns from thee, to him grant the wealth thou knowest.
Seated in man he is the vicar. He it is who is the lord of all these riches. They desire the seed in their bodies mutually. The wise come to know him well by their discriminations.

The seed of Agni is implanted in the practitioners of the inner quest. Each is thus related to Agni and through him with other colleagues for their common benefit. They desire growth of Agni in each other for mutual benefit.

Those who hear his word hasten (on their course), taking joy as sons in doing their father’s will. Reservoir of ample riches, he throws open their doors (to them). Dweller within, he decks the heavens with the stars.

Sri Aurobindo’s rendering of this hymn:

The carrier, burning, he reaches heaven. He unravels the nights and uncovers the stable and the moving; for this is the one God who envelops with himself the grandeurs of all the Gods.
All cleave to¹⁰

He is the urgings of the Truth, the thinking of the Truth, the universal life by whom all do the works. He who gives to thee, he who gains from thee,¹¹

He is the priest of the sacrifice seated in the son of Man: he verily is the lord of these riches. They desire the seed mutually in their bodies; the wise by their own discernings come wholly to know.
Those who listen to his teaching, those who are swift to the journey, serve gladly his will as sons the will of a father. He houses a multitude of riches and flings wide the doors of the Treasure. He is the dweller within who has formed heaven with its stars.
