Sukta 1.96

Rishi: Parāśara Śāktya (traditional for RV 1.96)
Devata: Agni (as Draviṇodā, the giver of plenitude/means)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (11-syllable pādas; standard for many Agni hymns)

नू च पुरा च सदनं रयीणां जातस्य च जायमानस्य च क्षाम् । सतश्च गोपां भवतश्च भूरेर्देवा अग्निं धारयन्द्रविणोदाम् ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.96.7

nū́ ca purā́ ca sádanam rayīṇā́ṃ jā́tasya ca jā́yamānasya ca kṣā́m | satáś ca gopā́m bhávataś ca bhū́rer devā́ agníṃ dhārayann draviṇo-dā́m ||

Agora e desde os tempos antigos, os deuses sustentaram Agni, doador de plenitude, como o assento interior de todas as bem-aventuranças — do que já nasceu em nós e do que ainda está nascendo; como guardião do campo da existência, do Verdadeiro e da vasta abundância que cresce sem medida.
