Sukta 108

य इन्द्राग्नी चित्रतमो रथो वामभि विश्वानि भुवनानि चष्टे। तेना यातं सरथं तस्थिवांसाथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

ya indrāgnī citratamo ratho vāmabhi viśvāni bhuvanāni caṣṭe | tenā yātaṁ sarathaṁ tasthivāṁsāthā somasya pibataṁ sutasya ||

ON that most wondrous car of yours, O Indra and Agni, which looks round on all things living, Take ye your stand and come to us together, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.

यावदिदं भुवनं विश्वमस्त्युरुव्यचा वरिमता गभीरम्। तावाँ अयं पातवे सोमो अस्त्वरमिन्द्राग्नी मनसे युवभ्याम्॥

yāvadidaṁ bhuvanaṁ viśvamastyuruvyacā varimatā gabhīram | tāvā ayaṁ pātave somo astvaramindrāgnī manase yuvabhyām ||

As vast as all this world is in its compass, deep as it is, with its far-stretching surface, So let this Soma be, Indra and Agni, made for your drinking till your soul be sated.

चक्राथे हि सध्र्यङ्नाम भद्रं सध्रीचीना वृत्रहणा उत स्थः। ताविन्द्राग्नी सध्र्यञ्चा निषद्या वृष्णः सोमस्य वृषणा वृषेथाम्॥

cakrāthe hi sadhryaṅnāma bhadraṁ sadhrīcīnā vṛtrahaṇā uta sthaḥ | tāvindrāgnī sadhryañcā niṣadyā vṛṣṇaḥ somasya vṛṣaṇā vṛṣethām ||

For ye have won a blessed name together: yea, with one aim ye strove, O Vrtra-slayers. So Indra-Agni, seated here together, pour in, ye Mighty Ones, the mighty Soma.

समिद्धेष्वग्निष्वानजाना यतस्रुचा बर्हिरु तिस्तिराणा। तीव्रैः सोमैः परिषिक्तेभिरर्वागेन्द्राग्नी सौमनसाय यातम्॥

samiddheṣvagniṣvānajānā yatasrucā barhiru tistirāṇā | tīvraiḥ somaiḥ pariṣiktebhirarvāgendrāgnī saumanasāya yātam ||

Both stand adorned, when fires are duly kindled, spreading the sacred grass, with lifted ladles. Drawn by strong Soma juice poured forth around us, come, Indra-Agni, and display your favour.

यानीन्द्राग्नी चक्रथुर्वीर्याणि यानि रूपाण्युत वृष्ण्यानि। या वां प्रत्नानि सख्या शिवानि तेभिः सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

yānīndrāgnī cakrathurvīryāṇi yāni rūpāṇyuta vṛṣṇyāni | yā vāṁ pratnāni sakhyā śivāni tebhiḥ somasya pibataṁ sutasya ||

The brave deeds ye have done, Indra and Agni, the forms ye have displayed and mighty exploits, The ancient and auspicious bonds of friendship,-for sake of these drink of the flowing Soma.

यदब्रवं प्रथमं वां वृणानोऽयं सोमो असुरैर्नो विहव्यः। तां सत्यां श्रद्धामभ्या हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

yadabravaṁ prathamaṁ vāṁ vṛṇāno'yaṁ somo asurairno vihavyaḥ | tāṁ satyāṁ śraddhāmabhyā hi yātamathā somasya pibataṁ sutasya ||

As first I said when choosing you, in battle we must contend with Asuras for this Soma. So came ye unto this my true conviction, and drank libations of the flowing Soma.

यदिन्द्राग्नी मदथः स्वे दुरोणे यद्ब्रह्मणि राजनि वा यजत्रा। अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

yadindrāgnī madathaḥ sve duroṇe yadbrahmaṇi rājani vā yajatrā | ataḥ pari vṛṣaṇāvā hi yātamathā somasya pibataṁ sutasya ||

If in your dwelling, or with prince or Brahman, ye, Indra-Agni, Holy Ones, rejoice you, Even frorn thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libation of the flowing Soma.

यदिन्द्राग्नी यदुषु तुर्वशेषु यद्द्रुह्युष्वनुषु पूरुषु स्थः। अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

yadindrāgnī yaduṣu turvaśeṣu yaddruhyuṣvanuṣu pūruṣu sthaḥ | ataḥ pari vṛṣaṇāvā hi yātamathā somasya pibataṁ sutasya ||

If with, the Yadus, Turvasas, ye sojourn, with Druhyus, Anus, Purus, Indra-Agni! Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.

यदिन्द्राग्नी अवमस्यां पृथिव्यां मध्यमस्यां परमस्यामुत स्थः। अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

yadindrāgnī avamasyāṁ pṛthivyāṁ madhyamasyāṁ paramasyāmuta sthaḥ | ataḥ pari vṛṣaṇāvā hi yātamathā somasya pibataṁ sutasya ||

Whether, O Indra-Agni, ye be dwelling in lowest earth, in central, or in highest. Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.

यदिन्द्राग्नी परमस्यां पृथिव्यां मध्यमस्यामवमस्यामुत स्थः। अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

Whether, O Indra-Agni, ye be dwelling in highest earth, in central, or in lowest, Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.

यदिन्द्राग्नी दिवि ष्ठो यत्पृथिव्यां यत्पर्वतेष्वोषधीष्वप्सु। अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

yadindrāgnī divi ṣṭho yatpṛthivyāṁ yatparvateṣvoṣadhīṣvapsu | ataḥ pari vṛṣaṇāvā hi yātamathā somasya pibataṁ sutasya ||

Whether ye be in heaven, O Indra-Agni, on earth, on mountains, in the herbs, or waters, Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.

यदिन्द्राग्नी उदिता सूर्यस्य मध्ये दिवः स्वधया मादयेथे। अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य॥

yadindrāgnī uditā sūryasya madhye divaḥ svadhayā mādayethe | ataḥ pari vṛṣaṇāvā hi yātamathā somasya pibataṁ sutasya ||

If, when the Sun to the mid-heaven hath mounted, ye take delight in food, O Indra-Agni, Even from thence, ye mighty Lords, come hither, and drink libations of the flowing Soma.

एवेन्द्राग्नी पपिवांसा सुतस्य विश्वास्मभ्यं सं जयतं धनानि। तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः॥

evendrāgnī papivāṁsā sutasya viśvāsmabhyaṁ saṁ jayataṁ dhanāni | tanno mitro varuṇo māmahantāmaditiḥ sindhuḥ pṛthivī uta dyauḥ ||

Thus having drunk your fill of our libation, win us all kinds of wealth, Indra and Agni. This prayer of ours may Varuna grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
