Rig Veda 4.2.1: Mandala 4, Sukta 2, Mantra 1
Sukta 4.2
यो मर्त्येष्वमृत ऋतावा देवो देवेष्वरतिर्निधायि । होता यजिष्ठो मह्ना शुचध्यै हव्यैरग्निर्मनुष ईरयध्यै ॥
yó martyeṣv amṛ́ta ṛtā́vā devó devéṣv aratír nidhā́yi | hotā́ yájiṣṭho mahnā́ śucádhyai havyáir agnír mánuṣa īrayádhyai ||
He who, immortal amid mortals, the god who bears the Truth (ṛta-vān), has been set as the active mover among the gods—Agni, the Hotar, most skilled in offering: by his greatness he kindles the luminous intelligence, and by the oblations he impels the human being upward.
