Rig Veda 8.40.12: Mandala 8, Sukta 40, Mantra 12

Sukta 8.40

Rishi: Nabhāka (as indicated by the refrain/epithet nabhāka-vat in the hymn; traditional attribution)
Devata: Indra-Agni (dual deity)
Chandas: Jagatī (probable; requires full metrical count verification against pada lengths)

एवेन्द्राग्निभ्यां पितृवन्नवीयो मन्धातृवदङ्गिरस्वदवाचि । त्रिधातुना शर्मणा पातमस्मान्वयं स्याम पतयो रयीणाम् ॥

eve indrāgnibhyāṃ pitṛvat navīyo mandhātṛvad aṅgirasvad avāci | tri-dhātunā śarmaṇā pātam asmān vayaṃ syāma patayo rayīṇām ||

Assim, a Indra-e-Agni é dita uma palavra ainda mais nova — como falaram os Pais, como Mandhātṛ, como os videntes Aṅgiras. Guardai-nos com a paz (śárman) de tríplice fundamento; que nos tornemos senhores das plenitudes, do rayi.
