Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.139.1

RV 1.139.1

अस्तु श्रौषट् पुरो अग्नीं धिया दध आ नु तच् छर्धो दिव्यं वृणीमह इन्द्रवायू वृणीमहे । यद् ध क्राणा विवस्वति नाभा संदायि नव्यसी । अध प्र सू न उप यन्तु धीतयो देवां अच्छा न धीतयः ॥

astu śrauṣaṭ puro agnīṃ dhiyā dadha ā nu tac chardho divyaṃ vṛṇīmaha indravāyū vṛṇīmahe | yad dha krāṇā vivasvati nābhā saṃdāyi navyasī | adha pra sū na upa yantu dhītayo devāṃ acchā na dhītayaḥ ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Heard be our prayer! In thought I honour Agni first: now straightway we elect this heavenly company, Indra and Vayu we elect. For when our latest thought is raised and on Vivasvan centred well, Then may our holy songs go forward on their way, our songs as 'twere unto the Gods.
