Rig Veda 10.142.3: Mandala 10, Sukta 142, Mantra 3
Sukta 10.142
उत वा उ परि वृणक्षि बप्सद्बहोरग्न उलपस्य स्वधावः । उत खिल्या उर्वराणां भवन्ति मा ते हेतिं तविषीं चुक्रुधाम ॥
utá vā ú páry vṛṇakṣi bápsad bahór agna úlapasya svadhāvaḥ | utá khilyā́ urvárāṇāṃ bhavanti mā́ te hetíṃ taviṣī́ṃ cukrudhāma ||
And thou indeed encompassest and choosest (thy path), O Agni, seated on the wide space, self-lawed; and the fallow tracts become fertile fields. May we not provoke thy weapon, thy vehement force; rather may thy energy turn into our increase.
