Rig Veda 1.112.1: Mandala 1, Sukta 112, Mantra 1

Sukta 1.112

Rishi: Gautama Rāhūgaṇa (traditional attribution for RV 1.112)
Devata: Aśvins (with invocations to Dyāvā-Pṛthivī and Agni as preparatory supports)
Chandas: Jagatī (probable for RV 1.112; refrain-like structure suggests longer meter; confirm by syllable count in full scan)

ईळे द्यावापृथिवी पूर्वचित्तयेऽग्निं घर्मं सुरुचं यामन्निष्टये । याभिर्भरे कारमंशाय जिन्वथस्ताभिरू षु ऊतिभिरश्विना गतम् ॥

īḷé dyā́vāpṛthivī pū́rva-cittaye ’gníṃ gharmáṃ su-rúcaṃ yā́mann iṣṭáye | yā́bhir bháre kārám aṃśā́ya jínvathas tā́bhir ū́ ṣú ūtíbhir aśvínā ā́ gatam ||

Aku memuja Langit dan Bumi (Dyāvā-Pṛthivī) demi terjaganya kesedaran purba; aku memuja Agni—bahang yang menyala, cahaya yang indah—dalam perjalanan menuju penyempurnaan yang dihajati. Dengan pertolongan-pertolongan yang dengannya kamu berdua menyuburkan karya si penyanyi agar mendapat bahagiannya daripada kenikmatan, dengan bantuan-bantuan yang pantas itu, wahai Aśvin, datanglah ke mari.
