Ṛgveda 1.21.1

Interpretations

Kapali Shastri

Introduction

ihendrāgni, etc., is the fourth hymn, of six Riks, in the fifth Section. The Rishi and the metre are as before. The deities are Indra and Agni.

Translation

Tr. Here I call Indra and Agni; we desire their praise alone; may they, superb drinkers of Soma, take the Soma.

Commentary

iha in this sacrifice in session; indrāgni Indra and Agni; upahvaye I call; tayorit Indra and Agni also; stomam laud; uśmasi we desire (vas to attract. mas is the termination in the Present and the suffix i on mas); tā they two; somapātamā Gods who drink Soma-juices exceedingly; somam the Soma poured out (may they drink).

Indra is stationed in the heaven, Agni on earth; the association of these parents of the universe-heaven and earth will be effected in the sacrifice by this pair of Deities satisfied of Soma.
