Rig Veda 5.8.3Mandala 5, Sukta 8, Mantra 3

Sukta 5.8

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha (Vasiṣṭha-gotra tradition for much of Maṇḍala 5; hymn 5.8 is Agni-stuti in Vasiṣṭha style)
Devata: Agni
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; standard for many Agni hymns in Maṇḍala 5; requires full hymn metrical scan for certainty)

त्वामग्ने मानुषीरीळते विशो होत्राविदं विविचिं रत्नधातमम् । गुहा सन्तं सुभग विश्वदर्शतं तुविष्वणसं सुयजं घृतश्रियम् ॥

tvām agne mānuṣīr īḷate viśo hotrā-vidaṁ viviciṁ ratna-dhātamam | guhā santaṁ su-bhaga viśva-darśataṁ tuvi-svaṇasaṁ su-yajaṁ ghṛta-śriyam ||

Ó Agni, as comunidades humanas te louvam —conhecedor do hotra, discernidor, o mais alto doador de tesouros. Embora habites oculto na caverna, ó Afortunado, és a visão que a todos se mostra; com ressonância poderosa conduzes bem o sacrifício, resplandecendo com a glória do ghee.
