Sukta 10.87
पश्चात्पुरस्तादधरादुदक्तात्कविः काव्येन परि पाहि राजन् । सखे सखायमजरो जरिम्णेऽग्ने मर्ताँ अमर्त्यस्त्वं नः ॥
paścāt purastād adharād udaktāt kaviḥ kāvyena pari pāhi rājan | sakhe sakhāyam ajaro jarimṇe ’gne martāṃ amartyas tvaṃ naḥ ||
Dari belakang, dari hadapan, dari bawah, dari atas—wahai Agni yang bersifat raja, sang kavi dengan kuasa-kavi, kelilingi dan peliharalah. Wahai sahabat, jadilah sahabat bagi kami yang tertakluk kepada susut dan tua; engkau yang amṛta, lindungilah kami yang fana.
