HYMN XXXVIII. Indra-Angi.

I. YE Twain are Priests of sacrifice, wmners in war and holy works:

Indra and Agni, mark this well.

2 Ye bounteous riders on the car, ye Vrtra-slayers unsubdued:

Indra and Agni, mark this well.

3 The men with pressing-stones have pressed this meath of yours which gives delight:

Indra, and Agni, mark this well.

4 Accept our sacrifice for weal, sharers of praise! the Soma shed:

Indra and Agni, Heroes, come.

5 Be pleased with these libations which attract you to our sacred gifts

Indra and Agni, Heroes, come.

6 Accept this eulogy of mine whose model is the Gayatri:

Indra and Agni, Heroes, Come.

7 Come with the early-faring Gods, ye who are Lords of genuine wealth:

Indra-Agni, to the Soma-draught

8 Hear ye the call of Atris, hear Syavasva as he sheds the juice:

Indra-Agni to the Soma-draught

9 Thus have I called you to our aid as sages called on you of old:

Indra-Agni to the Soma draught!

10 Indra's and Agni's grace I claim, Sarasvati's associates

To whom this psalm of praise is sung.
