Sukta 3.23
इळामग्ने पुरुदंसं सनिं गोः शश्वत्तमं हवमानाय साध । स्यान्नः सूनुस्तनयो विजावाग्ने सा ते सुमतिर्भूत्वस्मे ॥
iḷā́m agne puru-daṃsáṃ saníṃ góḥ śaśvat-tamáṃ havamānāya sādha | syān naḥ sūnús tanáyo vijā́vāgne sā́ te su-matír bhūtv asmè ||
O Agni, accomplish for the one who calls thee the Ila—full of luminous insight—rich in manifold workings, the ever-enduring winning of the Rays (go); may there be for us a son, a child, victorious in births and growth. May that be thy happy-minded grace for us.
