Rig Veda 1.87.5
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
पितुः परत्नस्य जन्मना वदामसि सोमस्य जिह्वा पर जिगाति चक्षसा | यदीमिन्द्रं शम्य रक्वाण आशतादिन नामानि यज्ञियानि दधिरे
IAST Romanisation
pituḥ pratnasya janmanā vadāmasi somasya jihvā pra jighāti cakṣasā | yadīmindraṃ śamy ṛkvāṇa āśatādin nāmāni yajñiyāni dadhire
English Translation (Griffith)
We speak by our descent from our primeval Sire; our tongue, when we behold the Soma, stirs itself. When, shouting, they had joined Indra in toil of fight, then only they obtained their sacrificial names.
