Rig Veda

Book 1, Hymn XXI. Indra-Agni

1 INDRA and Agni I invoke fain are we for their song of praise:
Chief Soma-drinkers are they both.

2 Praise ye, O men, and glorify Indra-Agni in the holy rites:
Sing praise to them in sacred songs.

3 Indra and Agni we invite, the Soma-drinkers, for the fame
Of Mitra, to the Soma-draught.

4 Strong Gods, we bid them come to this libation that stands ready here:
Indra and Agni, come to us.

5 Indra and Agni, mighty Lords of our assembly, crush the fiends:
Childless be the devouring ones.

6 Watch ye, through this your truthfulness, there in the place of spacious view
Indra and Agni, send us bliss.
