Rig Veda 10.53.3: Mandala 10, Sukta 53, Mantra 3

Sukta 10.53

Rishi: Agni/Hotṛ-centered cycle (speaker representing the sacrificers seeking the true Hotṛ/Agni)
Devata: Ritual/inner power of the sacrifice (yajña-jihvā; implicitly Agni as the tongue and carrier of invocation)
Chandas: Trishtubh (probable; requires metrical verification)

साध्वीमकर्देववीतिं नो अद्य यज्ञस्य जिह्वामविदाम गुह्याम् । स आयुरागात्सुरभिर्वसानो भद्रामकर्देवहूतिं नो अद्य ॥

sādhvīm akardeva-vī́tiṃ no adyá yajñásya jihvā́m avidāma guhyā́m | sá āyúr ā́gāt surabhír vásāno bhadrā́m akardeva-hū́tiṃ no adyá ||

Aujourd’hui il a façonné pour nous la voie droite des dieux ; aujourd’hui nous avons trouvé la langue secrète du sacrifice. Il est venu, apportant le souffle de vie, revêtu d’une douceur parfumée ; aujourd’hui il a façonné pour nous l’appel heureux qui attire les dieux.
