Rig Veda 3.59.5: Mandala 3, Sukta 59, Mantra 5
Sukta 3.59
महाँ आदित्यो नमसोपसद्यो यातयज्जनो गृणते सुशेवः । तस्मा एतत्पन्यतमाय जुष्टमग्नौ मित्राय हविरा जुहोत ॥
mahā́n ādityó námasopasádyo yātayáj-jano gṛṇaté suśévaḥ | tásmā etát pányatamāya júṣṭam agnáu mitrā́ya havír ā́ juhota ||
Great is the Āditya, approachable by reverence, who sets men on the right path and is gracious to the singer. Therefore offer into Agni this oblation—most worthy and pleasing—for Mitra who is most admirable.
