Hymn 38 · Indra-Agni

1YE Twain are Priests of sacrifice, winners in war and holy works:     Indra and Agni, mark this well.

2Ye bounteous riders on the car, ye Vṛtra-slayers unsubdued:     Indra and Agni, mark this well.

3The men with pressing-stones have pressed this meath of yours which gives delight:     Indra, and Agni, mark this well.

4Accept our sacrifice for weal, sharers of praise! the Soma shed:     Indra and Agni, Heroes, come.

5Be pleased with these libations which attract you to our sacred gifts     Indra and Agni, Heroes, come.

6Accept this eulogy of mine whose model is the Gāyatrī:     Indra and Agni, Heroes, Come.

7Come with the early-faring Gods, ye who are Lords of genuine wealth:     Indra-Agni, to the Soma-draught

8Hear ye the call of Atris, hear Śyāvāśva as he sheds the juice:     Indra-Agni to the Soma-draught

9Thus have I called you to our aid as sages called on you of old:     Indra-Agni to the Soma draught!

10Indra's and Agni's grace I claim, Sarasvatī's associates     To whom this psalm of praise is sung.
