Sukta 3.22

Rishi: Viśvāmitra Gāthina
Devata: Agni (with Indra as associated actor)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; long verse)

अयं सो अग्निर्यस्मिन्त्सोममिन्द्रः सुतं दधे जठरे वावशानः । सहस्रिणं वाजमत्यं न सप्तिं ससवान्त्सन्त्स्तूयसे जातवेदः ॥

ayáṃ só agnír yásmint sómam índraḥ sutáṃ dadhé jaṭháre vāvaśānáḥ | sahasríṇaṃ vā́jam átyaṃ ná saptíṃ sasavā́nt sán stū́yase jātavedāḥ ||

Inilah Agni itu, yang di dalamnya Indra menaruh Soma yang diperas ke dalam perutnya, bersukacita. Setelah memenangkan kelimpahan daya yang seribu-lipat—seperti kuda tangkas, seperti pelari yang melesat—engkau dipuji, wahai Jātavedas, sebagai pembawa kemenangan dari kenikmatan batin.
