Recitation with translationRig Veda 3.20.2

agne trī́ te vā́jinā trī́ ṣadhásthā tisrás te jihvā́ ṛtajāta pūrvī́ḥ | tisrá u te tanvò devávātās tā́bhir naḥ pāhi gíro áprayucchan ||

Ó Agni, três são as tuas potências de plenitude, três os teus assentos de firmeza; três são as tuas línguas, nascidas da Ṛta, antigas em seu operar. Três também são os teus corpos, movidos pelo sopro dos deuses; por eles protege-nos, para que nossas palavras não falhem nem se desviem do caminho.
