Rig Veda 5.86

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

The mortal man whom ye, the Twain, Indra and Agni, help in fight, Breaks through e'en strongly-guarded wealth as Trita burst his way through reeds.

2
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

The Twain invincible in war, worthy to be renowned in frays, Lords of the Fivefold. People, these, Indra and Agni, we invoke.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Impetuous is their strength, and keen the lightning of the mighty Pair, Which from their arms speeds with the car to Vritra's slayer for the kine.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Indra and Agni, we invoke you both, as such, to send your cars: Lords of quick-coming bounty, ye who know, chief lovers of the song.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

These who give increase day by day, Gods without guile for mortal man, Worthy themselves, I honour most, Two Gods as partners, for my horse.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

The strength-bestowing offering thus to Indra-Agni hath been paid, as butter, purified by stones. Deal to our princes high renown, deal wealth to those who sing your praise, deal food to those who sing your praise.
