Rig Veda 10.46.9: Mandala 10, Sukta 46, Mantra 9
Sukta 10.46
द्यावा यमग्निं पृथिवी जनिष्टामापस्त्वष्टा भृगवो यं सहोभिः । ईळेन्यं प्रथमं मातरिश्वा देवास्ततक्षुर्मनवे यजत्रम् ॥
dyāvā́ yám agníṁ pṛthivī́ jánīṣṭām ā́pas tváṣṭā bhṛ́gavo yáṁ sáhobhiḥ | īḷényam prathamáṁ mātáriśvā devā́ḥ tatakṣur mánave yájatram ||
The Heaven and the Earth brought to birth that Agni; the Waters, Tvaṣṭṛ, and the Bhṛgus shaped him with their powers. The gods hewed out first the adorable one, and Mātariśvan carried him for Man—worthy of the offering: the fire meant for the human ascent.
