What happens in this chapter
Vaishvanara who freed the gods
A short hymn by Vasishtha to Agni Vaishvanara, the all-bright giver of insight who slays the asuras. The singers bring him thought and prayer as one brings an offering to the grass. Blazing at birth, he filled heaven and earth with flame, and by his greatness he freed the gods from the curse laid on them. When he was born he looked over all the worlds like a herdsman watching his cattle, going round everywhere. The rishi asks Vaishvanara to find a path for the prayer, and closes with the refrain asking protection always.
त्वम॑ग्ने शो॒चिषा॒ शोशु॑चान॒ आ रोद॑सी अपृणा॒ जाय॑मानः ।
त्वं दे॒वाँ अ॒भिश॑स्तेरमुञ्चो॒ वैश्वा॑नर जातवेदो महि॒त्वा
tvamagne śociṣā śośucāna ā rodasī apṛṇā jāyamānaḥ |
tvaṃ devām̐ abhiśasteramuñco vaiśvānara jātavedo mahitvā
जा॒तो यद॑ग्ने॒ भुव॑ना॒ व्यख्य॑ः प॒शून्न गो॒पा इर्य॒ः परि॑ज्मा ।
वैश्वा॑नर॒ ब्रह्म॑णे विन्द गा॒तुं यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभि॒ः सदा॑ नः
jāto yadagne bhuvanā vyakhyaḥ paśūnna gopā iryaḥ parijmā |
vaiśvānara brahmaṇe vinda gātuṃ yūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
