3.12.5Indra and Agni, singers skilled in melody hymn you, bringing lauds: I choose you for the sacred food.

3.12.6Indra and Agni, ye cast down the ninety forts which DAsas held, Together, with one mighty deed.

3.12.7To Indra-Agni reverent thoughts go forward from the holy task Along the path of sacred Law.

3.12.8O Indra-Agni, powers are yours, and dwellings and delightful food Good is your readiness to act.
