Rigveda 1.109

1.109.1

वि ह्यख्यं॒ मन॑सा॒ वस्य॑ इ॒च्छन्निन्द्रा॑ग्नी ज्ञा॒स उ॒त वा॑ सजा॒तान् | नान्या यु॒वत् प्रम॑तिरस्ति॒ मह्यं॒ स वां॒ धियं॑ वाज॒यन्ती॑मतक्षम् ||

LONGING for weal I looked around, in spirit, for kinsmen, Indra-Agni, or for brothers. No providence but yours alone is with me so have I wrought for you this hymn for succour.

1.109.2

अश्र॑वं॒ हि भू॑रि॒दाव॑त्तरा वां॒ विजा॑मातुरु॒त वा॑ घा स्या॒लात् | अथा॒ सोम॑स्य॒ प्रय॑ती यु॒वभ्या॒मिन्द्रा॑ग्नी॒ स्तोमं॑ जनयामि॒ नव्य॑म् ||

For I have heard that ye give wealth more freely than worthless son-in-law or spouse's brother. So offering to you this draught of Soma, I make you this new hymn, Indra and Agni,

1.109.3

मा च्छे॑द्म र॒श्मीँरिति॒ नाध॑मानाः पितॄ॒णां श॒क्तीर॑नु॒यच्छ॑मानाः | इ॒न्द्रा॒ग्निभ्यां॒ कं वृष॑णो मदन्ति॒ ता ह्यद्री॑ धि॒षणा॑या उ॒पस्थे॑ ||

Let us not break the cords: with this petition we strive to gain the powers of our forefathers. For Indra-Agni the strong drops are joyful, for here in the bowl's lap are both the press-stones.

1.109.4

यु॒वाभ्यां॑ दे॒वी धि॒षणा॒ मदा॒येन्द्रा॑ग्नी॒ सोम॑मुश॒ती सु॑नोति | ताव॑श्विना भद्रहस्ता सुपाणी॒ आ धा॑वतं॒ मधु॑ना पृ॒ङ्क्तम॒प्सु ||

For you the bowl divine, Indra and Agni, presses the Soma gladly to delight you. With hands auspicious and fair arms, ye Aśvins, haste, sprinkle it with sweetness in the waters.

1.109.5

यु॒वामि॑न्द्राग्नी॒ वसु॑नो विभा॒गे त॒वस्त॑मा शुश्रव वृत्र॒हत्ये॑ | तावा॒सद्या॑ ब॒र्हिषि॑ य॒ज्ञे अ॒स्मिन् प्र च॑र्षणी मादयेथां सु॒तस्य॑ ||

You, I have heard, were mightiest, Indra-Agni, when Vṛtra fell and when the spoil was parted. Sit at this sacrifice, ye ever active, on the strewn grass, and with the juice delight you.

1.109.6

प्र च॑र्ष॒णिभ्य॑: पृतना॒हवे॑षु॒ प्र पृ॑थि॒व्या रि॑रिचाथे दि॒वश्च॑ | प्र सिन्धु॑भ्य॒: प्र गि॒रिभ्यो॑ महि॒त्वा प्रेन्द्रा॑ग्नी॒ विश्वा॒ भुव॒नात्य॒न्या ||

Surpassing all men where they shout for battle, ye Twain exceed the earth and heaven in greatness. Greater are ye than rivers and than mountains, O Indra-Agni, and all things beside them.

1.109.7

आ भ॑रतं॒ शिक्ष॑तं वज्रबाहू अ॒स्माँ इ॑न्द्राग्नी अवतं॒ शची॑भिः | इ॒मे नु ते र॒श्मय॒: सूर्य॑स्य॒ येभि॑: सपि॒त्वं पि॒तरो॑ न॒ आस॑न् ||

Bring wealth and give it, ye whose arms wield thunder: Indra and Agni, with your powers protect us. Now of a truth these be the very sunbeams wherewith our fathers were of old united.

1.109.8

पुरं॑दरा॒ शिक्ष॑तं वज्रहस्ता॒स्माँ इ॑न्द्राग्नी अवतं॒ भरे॑षु | तन्नो॑ मि॒त्रो वरु॑णो मामहन्ता॒मदि॑ति॒: सिन्धु॑: पृथि॒वी उ॒त द्यौः ||

Give, ye who shatter forts, whose hands wield thunder: Indra and Agni, save us in our battles. This prayer of ours may Varuṇa grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
