Recitation with translationRig Veda 4.6.6

bhadrā́ te agne sv-anī́ka saṃ-dṛ́g ghorásya sató víṣuṇasya cā́ruḥ | ná yát te śócís támasā váranta ná dhvasmā́nās tanvī́ repá ā́ dhuḥ ||

Auspiciosa é tua visão de próprio semblante, ó Agni — bela mesmo no terrível e no separado. Quando tua chama não é cercada pela treva, as forças da ruína não lançam sua impureza sobre o corpo.
