Sukta 45
अ॒ग्नेरि॑वास्य॒ दह॑तो दा॒वस्य॒ दह॑तः॒ पृथ॑क्। ए॒तामे॒तस्ये॒र्ष्यामु॒द्राग्निमि॑व शमय
agnér ivā́sya dáhato dāvásya dáhataḥ pṛ́thak | etā́m etásy īrṣyā́m úd rā́gnim iva śamaya ||
As from the burning fire, as from the burning forest-blaze—apart! This jealousy of this man, draw it forth; quench it, as one quencheth a glowing firebrand.
जैसे आग से दूर हो जाओ, जैसे जंगल की आग से दूर भागो। इस आदमी की जलन को बाहर निकालो। जैसे आग बुझाते हैं, वैसे ही बुझा दो।

Devata: Śānti (pacification) directed against Īrṣyā; fire-simile invokes Agni as model
