Mantra 3
Sukta 59
आ देवानामपि पन्थामगन्म यच्छक्नवाम तदनुप्रवोढुम्। अग्निर्विद्वान्त्स यजात् स इद्धोता सोऽध्वरान्त्स ऋतून् कल्पयाति
ā́ devā́nām ápi pánthām aganma yác chaknávāma tád anupravóḍhum | agnír vidvā́n sá yajā́t sá íd dhótā só ’dhvarā́n sá ṛtū́n kalpayāti ||
Up to the very path of the Gods have we advanced, so far as we have power to bear the work onward in due course. Let Agni, the knowing one, sacrifice: he indeed is Hotar; he orders the sacrifices, he sets the seasons in their right array.
Rishi: Atharvanic liturgical tradition (not specified in excerpt)
Devata: Agni (as Hotṛ and ritual-orderer)
