Sukta 1.128
स सुक्रतुः पुरोहितो दमेदमेऽग्निर्यज्ञस्याध्वरस्य चेतति क्रत्वा यज्ञस्य चेतति । क्रत्वा वेधा इषूयते विश्वा जातानि पस्पशे । यतो घृतश्रीरतिथिरजायत वह्निर्वेधा अजायत ॥

清き意志（śukrá-tu）をもつ彼は、家ごとに前に据えられた祭官（purohita）として、アグニ（Agni）はその意志の力（krátu）によって祭祀とまっすぐなる供献（adhvara）を覚知し、またその意志の力によって祭祀を覚知する。同じ主宰の力によって、知者（vedhā）はその衝動（iṣu）を放ち、生まれ出たすべての存在を見渡す。彼より、酥油の輝き（ghṛta-śrī）を帯びる客（atithi）が生まれ、また運び手（vahni）たる知者（vedhā）が生まれる。
