What happens in this chapter
Wealth that overcomes in battle
Dyumna Vishvacharshani of the Atri family asks Agni, in anushtubh with a closing pankti, for wealth that overpowers: splendour that by its own mouth overcomes all peoples in contests. Bring that conquering wealth, he says, for you are true, wondrous, the giver of strength rich in cattle. All folk who spread the barhis go to the dear hotar in their homes for many good things. The last mantra plays on the rishi's names, vishvacharshani and dyumna: the one who belongs to all peoples has won power over enmity, and Agni is asked to shine with wealth in these homes, bright and purifying.
तम॑ग्ने पृतना॒षहं॑ र॒यिं स॑हस्व॒ आ भ॑र ।
त्वं हि स॒त्यो अद्भु॑तो दा॒ता वाज॑स्य॒ गोम॑तः
tamagne pṛtanāṣahaṃ rayiṃ sahasva ā bhara |
tvaṃ hi satyo adbhuto dātā vājasya gomataḥ
विश्वे॒ हि त्वा॑ स॒जोष॑सो॒ जना॑सो वृ॒क्तब॑र्हिषः ।
होता॑रं॒ सद्म॑सु प्रि॒यं व्यन्ति॒ वार्या॑ पु॒रु
viśve hi tvā sajoṣaso janāso vṛktabarhiṣaḥ |
hotāraṃ sadmasu priyaṃ vyanti vāryā puru
स हि ष्मा॑ वि॒श्वच॑र्षणिर॒भिमा॑ति॒ सहो॑ द॒धे ।
अग्न॑ ए॒षु क्षये॒ष्वा रे॒वन्न॑ः शुक्र दीदिहि द्यु॒मत्पा॑वक दीदिहि
sa hi ṣmā viśvacarṣaṇirabhimāti saho dadhe |
agna eṣu kṣayeṣvā revannaḥ śukra dīdihi dyumatpāvaka dīdihi
