RV 8.40.1

इन्द्राग्नी युवं सु नः सहन्ता दासथो रयिम् । येन दृळ्हा समत्स्व् आ वीळु चित् साहिषीमह्य् अग्निर् वनेव वात इन् नभन्ताम् अन्यके समे ॥

indrāgnī yuvaṃ su naḥ sahantā dāsatho rayim | yena dṛḷhā samatsv ā vīḷu cit sāhiṣīmahy agnir vaneva vāta in nabhantām anyake same ||

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

Indra and Agni, surely ye as Conquerors will give us wealth, Whereby in fight we may o'ercome that which is strong and firmly fixed, as Agni burns the woods with wind. Let all the others die away.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
