Rig Veda
śuciṃ nu stomaṃ navajātam adyendrāgnī vṛtrahaṇā juṣethām ubhā hi vāṃ suhavā johavīmi tā vājaṃ sadya uśate dheṣṭhā
Slayers of enemies, Indra and Agni, accept this day our new-born pure laudation. Again, again I call you prompt to listen, best to give quickly strength to him who craves it.
tā sānasī śavasānā hi bhūtaṃ sākaṃvṛdhā śavasā śūśuvāṃsā kṣayantau rāyo yavasasya bhūreḥ pṛṅktaṃ vājasya sthavirasya ghṛṣveḥ
For ye were strong to gain, exceeding mighty, growing together, waxing in your vigour. Lords of the pasture filled with ample riches, bestow upon us strength both fresh and lasting.
This verse is not included in this edition.
Yea when the strong have entered our assembly, and singers seeking with their hymns your favour, They are like steeds who come into the race-course, those men who call aloud on Indra-Agni.
indrāgnī vṛtrahaṇā suvajrā pra no navyebhis tirataṃ deṣṇaiḥ
The singer, seeking with his hymns your favour, begs splendid riches of their first possessor. Further us with new bounties, Indra-Agni, armed with strong thunder, slayers of the foeman.
saṃ yan mahī mithatī spardhamāne tanūrucā śūrasātā yataite adevayuṃ vidathe devayubhiḥ satrā hataṃ somasutā janena
When two great hosts, arrayed against each other, meet clothed with brightness, in the fierce encounter Stand ye beside the godly, smite the godless; and still assist the men who press the Soma.
imām u ṣu somasutim upa na endrāgnī saumanasāya yātam nū ciddhi parimamnāthe asmān ā vāṃ śaśvadbhir vavṛtīya vājaiḥ
To this our Soma-pressing, Indra-Agni, come ye prepared to show your loving-kindness, For not at any time have ye despised us. So may I draw you with all strengthenings hither.
so agna enā namasā samiddho 'cchā mitraṃ varuṇam indraṃ voceḥ yat sīm āgaś cakṛmā tat su mṛﾱa tad aryamāditiḥ śiśrathantu
So Agni, kindled mid this adoration, invite thou Mitra, Varuna, and Indra. Forgive whatever sin we have committed may Aryaman and Aditi remove it.
etā agna āśuṣāṇāsa iṣṭīr yuvoḥ sacābhy aśyāma vājān mendro no viṣṇur marutaḥ pari khyan yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
While we accelerate these our sacrifices, may we win strength from both of you, O Agni: Ne'er may the Maruts, Indra, Vishnu slight us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
