Rishi: GOTAMA Deities: AGNI-SOMA
Agni and Soma, showerers, hearken ye to my call. Make our hymns joyful. Be felicitous to the giver (of offering).
Agni and Soma, on him who consecrates to ye this hymn today, bestow nourishment of Rays (of Knowledge), with heroic strength and life-energies.
Agni and Soma, may he who gives anointed offering to ye attain progeny and heroic strength, all his life.
Known to us, O Agni and Soma, is your prowess by which the protection of the Rays was removed from Pani, the relic of Vritra was thrust down. Then was the One Light (Sun) acquired for many.
Agni and Soma, acting together, ye have set these lustres in Heaven. O Agni and Soma, ye have released the bound Waters from the afflicting Evil.
Agni and Soma, Matariswan brought one of you (Agni) from Heaven; the Falcon rent the other (Soma) from the summit of the mountain. Growing by the Mantra ye have made the world wide for sacrifice.
Agni manifests within in the form of Will by tapas propelled by Prana.
The Falcon is the soul who soars to the summits of the manifest existence and wins the immortal elixir signified by Soma.
Agni and Soma, taste and render delectable this our offering readied for ye. O showerers, enjoy it. Felicitous, be well-guarded. And grant happiness to the sacrificer seeking ye.
Agni and Soma, protect his sacrifice from ill who worships with God-devoted mind and illumined thought. Grant abundant felicity to the sacrificer adoring from within.
Agni and Soma, common of knowledge, invoked in common, accept our lauds. Ye are born among the Gods.
Agni and Soma, may ye shine forth the Vast (Truth) to him who offers to ye both with illumined thought.
Agni and Soma, accept these our offerings; come nigh to us together.
Agni and Soma, complete the movements of our life-energies; may the fecund Rays grow full; establish in us the strengths among the Gods; make our sacrifice high-inspired.
