Sukta 7.5
पृष्टो दिवि धाय्यग्निः पृथिव्यां नेता सिन्धूनां वृषभः स्तियानाम् । स मानुषीरभि विशो वि भाति वैश्वानरो वावृधानो वरेण ॥
pṛṣṭó diví dhāyy agníḥ pṛthivyā́ṃ netā́ síndhūnāṃ vṛṣabháḥ stiyā́nām | sá mā́nuṣīr abhí víśo ví bhāti vaiśvānaró vāvṛdhānó váreṇa ||
Established aloft in the luminous heaven, Agni is set; on earth he becomes the Leader of the currents and the strong Bull of the firm foundations. He shines out over the human peoples—Vaiśvānara, increasing by the chosen excellence, widening the field of the soul’s light.
