Rig Veda 8.39.1: Mandala 8, Sukta 39, Mantra 1
Sukta 8.39
अग्निमस्तोष्यृग्मियमग्निमीळा यजध्यै । अग्निर्देवाँ अनक्तु न उभे हि विदथे कविरन्तश्चरति दूत्यं नभन्तामन्यके समे ॥
agním astoṣi ṛgmíyam agním īḷā́ yajádhyai | agnír devā́n anaktu na ubhé hí vidáthe kavír antáś cárati dūtyám nabhantām anyaké samé ||
I have magnified Agni, the seer of the hymn; I adore Agni to be worshipped in the sacrifice. May Agni anoint and set the Gods upon us; for in both assemblies he, the poet, moves within as the messenger—let the opposing powers be driven away into another domain.
