Rig Veda 7.94

iyaṃ vām asya manmana indrāgnī pūrvyastutiḥ abhrād vṛṣṭir ivājani

As rain from out the cloud, for you, Indra and Agni, from my soul This noblest praise hath been produced.

śṛṇutaṃ jaritur havam indrāgnī vanataṃ giraḥ īśānā pipyataṃ dhiyaḥ

Do ye, O Indra-Agni, hear the singer's call: accept his songs. Ye Rulers, grant his heart's desire.

mā pāpatvāya no narendrāgnī mābhiśastaye mā no rīradhataṃ nide

Give us not up to poverty, ye Heroes, Indra-Agni, nor To slander and reproach of men.

indre agnā namo bṛhat suvṛktim erayāmahe dhiyā dhenā avasyavaḥ

To Indra and to Agni we bring reverence, high and holy hymn, And, craving help, soft words with prayer.

tā hi śaśvanta īﾱata itthā viprāsa ūtaye sabādho vājasātaye

For all these holy singers here implore these Twain to succour them, And priests that they may win them strength.

tā vāṃ gīrbhir vipanyavaḥ prayasvanto havāmahe medhasātā saniṣyavaḥ

Eager to laud you, we with songs invoke you, bearing sacred food, Fain for success in sacrifice.

indrāgnī avasā gatam asmabhyaṃ carṣaṇīsahā mā no duḥśaṃsa īśata

Indra and Agni, come to us with favour, ye who conquer men: Let not the wicked master us.

mā kasya no araruṣo dhūrtiḥ praṇaṅ martyasya indrāgnī śarma yacchatam

At no time let the injurious blow of hostile mortal fall on us: O Indra-Agni, shelter us.

gomaddhiraṇyavad vasu yad vām aśvāvad īmahe indrāgnī tad vanemahi

Whatever wealth we crave of you, in gold, in cattle, or in steeds, That, Indra-Agni, let us gain;

yat soma ā sute nara indrāgnī ajohavuḥ saptīvantā saparyavaḥ

When heroes prompt in worship call Indra and Agni, Lords of steeds, Beside the Soma juice effused.

ukthebhir vṛtrahantamā yā mandānā cid ā girā āṅgūṣair āvivāsataḥ

Call hither with the song and lauds those who best slay the foemen, those Who take delight in hymns of praise.

tāv id duḥśaṃsam martyaṃ durvidvāṃsaṃ rakṣasvinam ābhogaṃ hanmanā hatam udadhiṃ hanmanā hatam

Slay ye the wicked man whose thought is evil of the demon kind. Slay him who stays the waters, slay the Serpent with your deadly dart.
