RV 10 124.1

इमꣳ नो अग्न उप यज्ञम् एहि पञ्चयामꣳ त्रिवृतꣳ सप्ततन्तुम् । असो हव्यवाऴ् उत नः पुरोगा ज्योग् एव दीर्घꣳ तम आशयिष्ठाः

imaṁ no agna upa yajñam ehi pañcayāmaṁ trivṛtaṁ saptatantum | aso havyavāḻ uta naḥ purogā jyog eva dīrghaṁ tama āśayiṣṭhāḥ

Come here, O Agni, to this sacrifice of ours, five-coursed, threefold, seven-threaded. Be the carrier of our oblation and our forerunner: long enough indeed have you lain in the long darkness.

RV 10 124.2

अदेवाद् देवः प्रचता गुहा यन् प्रपश्यमानो अमृतत्वम् एमि । शिवꣳ यत् सन्तम् अशिवो जहामि स्वात् सख्याद् अरणीꣳ नाभिम् एमि

adevād devaḥ pracatā guhā yan prapaśyamāno amṛtatvam emi | śivaṁ yat santam aśivo jahāmi svāt sakhyād araṇīṁ nābhim emi

A god (going) away from the non-god, going stealthily, looking ahead, I go toward immortality. When, unkind, I abandon him who is kind, I go from my own comradeship to an alien kinship.

Seeing the guest of another branch, I have measured out the many dhāmans of ṛta. I speak kindness to the father, the Asura; from the unsacrificial (state) I go to the sacrificial share.

RV 10 124.4

बह्वीः समा अकरम् अन्तर् अस्मिन्न् इन्द्रꣳ वृणानः पितरꣳ जहामि । अग्निः सोमो वरुणस् ते च्यवन्ते पर्यावर्द् राष्ट्रꣳ तद् अवाम्य् आयन्

bahvīḥ samā akaram antar asminn indraṁ vṛṇānaḥ pitaraṁ jahāmi | agniḥ somo varuṇas te cyavante paryāvard rāṣṭraṁ tad avāmy āyan

Many years I have spent within him; choosing Indra, I abandon the father. Agni, Soma, Varuṇa — these are falling away; the kingship has turned about: that I help, as I come.

nirmāyā u tye asurā abhūvan tvaṁ ca mā varuṇa kāmayāse | ṛtena rājann anṛtaṁ viviñcan mama rāṣṭrasyādhipatyam ehi

Those Asuras have become devoid of magic powers, and you, Varuṇa, if you love me — O king, separating truth from untruth by the ṛta, come to the overlordship of my kingdom!

This is the sunlight, this indeed was the good thing, this is the brightness, the wide mid-space. Let us two slay Vṛtra — come forth, Soma! You who are the oblation, we sacrifice with the oblation.

RV 10 124.7

कविः कवित्वा दिवि रूपम् आसजद् अप्रभूती वरुणो निर् अपः सृजत् । क्षेमꣳ कृण्वाना जनयो न सिन्धवस् ता अस्य वर्णꣳ शुचयो भरिभ्रति

The seer by his seer-craft fastened his form in heaven; Varuṇa, without effort, released the waters. Making ease (for him), like wives, the rivers, they, the shining ones, bear his colour again and again.

ता अस्य ज्येष्ठम् इन्द्रियꣳ सचन्ते ता ईम् आ क्षेति स्वधया मदन्तीः । ता ईꣳ विशो न राजानꣳ वृणाना बीभत्सुवो अप वृत्राद् अतिष्ठन्

tā asya jyeṣṭham indriyaṁ sacante tā īm ā kṣeti svadhayā madantīḥ | tā īṁ viśo na rājānaṁ vṛṇānā bībhatsuvo apa vṛtrād atiṣṭhan

They accompany his highest Indra-power; they — he dwells among them, as they rejoice by their own will. They, choosing him as the clans choose a king, in loathing stood away from Vṛtra.

They call (him) the goose yoked together with the loathing ones, moving in friendship with the heavenly waters. The seers, with their insight, have discerned Indra, who moves along following the anuṣṭubh.
