What happens in this chapter

With fuel, praise and ghee

Vasishtha's three verses, the first in brihati, the rest in trishtubh, are a plain vow of worship to Agni Jatavedas, the god of bright flame. 'We would serve you with fuel, with fair praise, O worshipful one; we would serve you with ghee, hotar of the rite, and with offerings, god of auspicious light.' He asks Agni to come with the gods to the call, delighting in the vashat cry, so that the worshippers may remain givers to him. The refrain closes the hymn.

14.1

स॒मिधा॑ जा॒तवे॑दसे दे॒वाय॑ दे॒वहू॑तिभिः ।
ह॒विर्भि॑ः शु॒क्रशो॑चिषे नम॒स्विनो॑ व॒यं दा॑शेमा॒ग्नये॑

samidhā jātavedase devāya devahūtibhiḥ |
havirbhiḥ śukraśociṣe namasvino vayaṃ dāśemāgnaye

14.2

व॒यं ते॑ अग्ने स॒मिधा॑ विधेम व॒यं दा॑शेम सुष्टु॒ती य॑जत्र ।
व॒यं घृ॒तेना॑ध्वरस्य होतर्व॒यं दे॑व ह॒विषा॑ भद्रशोचे

vayaṃ te agne samidhā vidhema vayaṃ dāśema suṣṭutī yajatra |
vayaṃ ghṛtenādhvarasya hotarvayaṃ deva haviṣā bhadraśoce

14.3

आ नो॑ दे॒वेभि॒रुप॑ दे॒वहू॑ति॒मग्ने॑ या॒हि वष॑ट्कृतिं जुषा॒णः ।
तुभ्यं॑ दे॒वाय॒ दाश॑तः स्याम यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभि॒ः सदा॑ नः

ā no devebhirupa devahūtimagne yāhi vaṣaṭkṛtiṃ juṣāṇaḥ |
tubhyaṃ devāya dāśataḥ syāma yūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
