Sukta 59

प्र नु वोचा सुतेषु वां वीर्या यानि चक्रथुः। हतासो वां पितरो देवशत्रव इन्द्राग्नी जीवथो युवम्॥

pra nu vocā suteṣu vāṁ vīryā yāni cakrathuḥ | hatāso vāṁ pitaro devaśatrava indrāgnī jīvatho yuvam ||

I WILL declare, while juices flow, the manly deeds that ye have done: Your Fathers, enemies of Gods, were smitten down, and, Indra-Agni, ye survive.

बळित्था महिमा वामिन्द्राग्नी पनिष्ठ आ। समानो वां जनिता भ्रातरा युवं यमाविहेहमातरा॥

baḻitthā mahimā vāmindrāgnī paniṣṭha ā | samāno vāṁ janitā bhrātarā yuvaṁ yamāvihehamātarā ||

Thus, Indra-Agnip verily your greatness merits loftiest praise, Sprung from one common Father, brothers, twins are ye; your Mother is in every place.

ओकिवांसा सुते सचाँ अश्वा सप्ती इवादने। इन्द्रा न्वग्नी अवसेह वज्रिणा वयं देवा हवामहे॥

okivāṁsā sute sacā aśvā saptī ivādane | indrā nvagnī avaseha vajriṇā vayaṁ devā havāmahe ||

These who delight in flowing juice, like fellow horses at their food, Indra and Agni, Gods armed with the thunderbolt, we call this day to come with help.

य इन्द्राग्नी सुतेषु वां स्तवत्तेष्वृतावृधा। जोषवाकं वदतः पज्रहोषिणा न देवा भसथश्चन॥

ya indrāgnī suteṣu vāṁ stavatteṣvṛtāvṛdhā | joṣavākaṁ vadataḥ pajrahoṣiṇā na devā bhasathaścana ||

Indra and Agni, Friends of Law, served with rich gifts, your speech is kind To him who praises you while these libations flow: that man, O Gods, ye ne'er consume.

इन्द्राग्नी को अस्य वां देवौ मर्तश्चिकेतति। विषूचो अश्वान्युयुजान ईयत एकः समान आ रथे॥

indrāgnī ko asya vāṁ devau martaściketati | viṣūco aśvānyuyujāna īyata ekaḥ samāna ā rathe ||

What mortal understands, O Gods, Indra and Agni, this your way? One of you, yoking Steeds that move to every side, advances in your common car.

इन्द्राग्नी अपादियं पूर्वागात्पद्वतीभ्यः। हित्वी शिरो जिह्वया वावदच्चरत्त्रिंशत्पदा न्यक्रमीत्॥

indrāgnī apādiyaṁ pūrvāgātpadvatībhyaḥ | hitvī śiro jihvayā vāvadaccarattriṁśatpadā nyakramīt ||

First, Indra-Agni, hath this Maid come footless unto those with feet. Stretching her head and speaking loudly with her tongue, she hath gone downward thirty steps.

इन्द्राग्नी आ हि तन्वते नरो धन्वानि बाह्वोः। मा नो अस्मिन्महाधने परा वर्क्तं गविष्टिषु॥

indrāgnī ā hi tanvate naro dhanvāni bāhvoḥ | mā no asminmahādhane parā varktaṁ gaviṣṭiṣu ||

E'en now, O Indra-Agni, men hold in their arms and stretch their bows. Desert us not in this great fray, in battles for the sake of kine.

इन्द्राग्नी तपन्ति माघा अर्यो अरातयः। अप द्वेषांस्या कृतं युयुतं सूर्यादधि॥

indrāgnī tapanti māghā aryo arātayaḥ | apa dveṣāṁsyā kṛtaṁ yuyutaṁ sūryādadhi ||

The foeman's sinful enmities, Indra and Agni, vex me sore. Drive those who hate me far away, and keep them distant from the Sun.

इन्द्राग्नी युवोरपि वसु दिव्यानि पार्थिवा। आ न इह प्र यच्छतं रयिं विश्वायुपोषसम्॥

indrāgnī yuvorapi vasu divyāni pārthivā | ā na iha pra yacchataṁ rayiṁ viśvāyupoṣasam ||

Indra and Agni, yours are all the treasures of the heavens and earth. Here give ye us the opulence that prospers every living man.

इन्द्राग्नी उक्थवाहसा स्तोमेभिर्हवनश्रुता। विश्वाभिर्गीर्भिरा गतमस्य सोमस्य पीतये॥

indrāgnī ukthavāhasā stomebhirhavanaśrutā | viśvābhirgīrbhirā gatamasya somasya pītaye ||

O Indra-Agni, who accept the laud, and hear us for our praise, Come near us, drawn by all our songs, to drink of this our Soma juice.
