Atharva Veda 6.36.1: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 36, Mantra 1

Sukta 36

वैश्वानरः। वऋ॒तावा॑नं वैश्वान॒रमृ॒तस्य॒ ज्योति॑ष॒स्पति॑म्। अज॑स्रं घ॒र्ममी॑महे

vaíśvānaraḥ | vr̥tā́vānaṃ vaíśvānaram r̥tásya jyótiṣas pátim | ájasraṃ gharmám īmahe ||

Vaiśvānara—him, rich in ṛta, Vaiśvānara, lord of the light of Order—unceasing heat and glow we crave and supplicate.

यह मंत्र अग्नि से प्रार्थना करता है। अग्नि जो सबका है, वो सचाई के साथ चलता है। वो रोशनी का मालिक है। हम उससे गर्मी और चमक माँगते हैं। यह गर्मी कभी खत्म नहीं होनी चाहिए।
