Rig Veda 1.76.3: Mandala 1, Sukta 76, Mantra 3
Sukta 1.76
प्र सु विश्वान्रक्षसो धक्ष्यग्ने भवा यज्ञानामभिशस्तिपावा । अथा वह सोमपतिं हरिभ्यामातिथ्यमस्मै चकृमा सुदाव्ने ॥
prá sú viśvā́n rákṣaso dhákṣy agne bhávā yajñā́nām abhiśastipā́vā | áthā vaha sómapatiṃ háribhyām ātíthyam asmai cakṛma sudā́vne ||
Burn away, O Agni, all the forces of darkness; become the purifier who protects our sacrifices from hostile assault. Then bring the Lord of Soma with his tawny steeds; for him, the generous giver, we have prepared the hospitality of the offering.
