Rig Veda

  1. MOVED, Indra-Agni, by our hymn, come to the juice, the precious dew: Drink ye thereof, impelled by song. 2 O Indra-Agni, with the man who lauds you comes the wakening rite: So drink ye both this juice assured. 3 Through force of sacrifice I choose Indra-Agni who love the wise: With Soma let these sate them here. 4 Indra and Agni I invoke, joint-victors, bounteous, unsubdued, Foe-slayers, best to win the spoil. 5 Indra and Agni, singers skilled in melody hymn you, bringing lauds: I choose you for the sacred food. 6 Indra and Agni, ye cast down the ninety forts which Dāsas held, Together, with one mighty deed. 7 To Indra-Agni reverent thoughts go forward from the holy task Along the path of sacred Law. 8 O Indra-Agni, powers are yours, and dwellings and delightful food Good is your readiness to act. 9 Indra and Agni, in your deeds of might ye deck heaven’s lucid realms: Famed is that hero strength of yours.
