Translation -
At the approach of dawns, who come like cows, the sacred fire is kindled with fuel offered by men. Its radiant mighty flames rise up like stately trees throwing aloft their branches towards heaven. (1)
Notes -
Abodhi, प्रतिबुध्यते, is aroused or awakened. Usasam prati, towards dawns, Agni, usds and sürya have more than material connotations in the veda. Usas, the dawn is the first light in the darkness, indi- cating the end of the night. It may be some hope, or some opening for a successful adventure. Agni is the tire, the energy and vigour and a yearning to achieve some noble goal. Invocation of agni at sacrifices is symbolic of awakening of that inner Fire. Dhenum iva dyatim, coming like a cow. Just as a calf is awakened at the approach of its coming mother even so the fire is aroused at the approach of dawns. Samidha jananam, with the fuel offered by men. What fuel? त इध्म आत्मा; this myself is your fuel, O Fire. This fuel has to be offered by men; only then the awakening of Fire can be expected. Mahidhara has translated it as : यह्वा महाँतो जातपक्षा: पक्षिणो वयां वृक्षशाखां प्रोंजिहाना प्रोद्गच्छंतो नाकं आकाशं प्रसरंति तद्वत्, just as grown up birds, leaving the branch of a tree soar up high in the sky, even so the rays or flames of fire rise towards heaven. Vayàm, वृक्षशाखां, branch of a tree. Bhanavah, अर्चीषि , flames, or rays.
