Rig Veda 10.8.7: Mandala 10, Sukta 8, Mantra 7

Sukta 10.8

Rishi: Dīrghatamas (traditional for RV 10.8)
Devata: Agni (hymn-level); this verse introduces Trita Āptya as a mythic-psychological actor within the Agni/ṛta narrative
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

अस्य त्रितः क्रतुना वव्रे अन्तरिच्छन्धीतिं पितुरेवैः परस्य । सचस्यमानः पित्रोरुपस्थे जामि ब्रुवाण आयुधानि वेति ॥

asyá tritáḥ krátunā vavré antár icchán dhītíṃ pitúr eváiḥ párasya | sacasyámānaḥ pitór upásthe jā́mi bruvāṇá ā́yudhāni veti ||

Of this work Trita, by his will, chose the inner way, seeking the thought of the supreme Father by his goings. Moving in companionship in the lap of the Father, speaking as one of kin, he advances with the weapons (powers) of the ancestral spirit.
