RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I

HYMN 109

Rishi: KUTSA Deity: INDRA AND AGNI

Indra and Agni, desirous of wealth, I have known ye in my mind as kinsmen and brothers. The high understanding ye have given me is not any others’. Thus have I wrought for ye this hymn for prosperity.
Indra and Agni, I have indeed heard of ye as munificent donors, more than an unworthy son-in-law or brother of a spouse. So offering libation of Soma, I make for ye this new hymn.
May we not break the cords; with this prayer, the strong (sacrificers, bearing uninterruptedly the powers of the forefathers, praise Indra and Agni for happiness. For the swallowers (of foes) are nigh to this understanding.

If the adri are the pressing stones, then they are Heaven and Earth: Agni on Earth and Indra in Heaven.

For your exhilaration, Indra and Agni, the shining speech, desiring ye, pours Soma. Come quick, well-horsed, with hands auspicious and arms fair and mix (the libation) with the sweetness in the Waters.
I have heard, Indra and Agni, that ye were mightiest when Vritra fell and the Wealth was distributed. Seers of all, sit ye on the grass-seat in this sacrifice and be exhilarated by the libation.
At the summons for battle, ye surpass all men with your might, vaster are ye than the Earth and Heaven, than the rivers and the mountains; ye exceed all other existences.
Thunder-armed, O Indra and Agni, bring wealth and instruct us with your powers. Here are the Rays of the Sun by which our forefathers together attained their goal.
Wielders of thunderbolt, tearers of cities, Indra and Agni, do ye instruct us, protect us in battles. And may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, Ocean, Earth and Heaven, grant it.
