HYMN XXI. Indra-Agni.

1 INDRA and Agni I invoke fain are we for their song of praise

Chief Soma-drinkers are they both.

2 Praise ye, O men, and glorify Indra-Agni in the holy rites:

Sing praise to them in sacred songs.

3 Indra and Agni we invite, the Soma-drinkers, for the fame

Of Mitra, to the Soma-draught.

4 Strong Gods, we bid them come to this libation that stands ready here:

Indra and Agni, come to us.

5 Indra and Agni, mighty Lords of our assembly, crush the fiends:

Childless be the devouring ones.

6 Watch ye, through this your truthfulness, there in the place of spacious view

Indra and Agni, send us bliss.
