Transliteration

tṛṣú yád ánnā tṛṣúṇā vavákṣa tṛṣúṃ dūtáṃ kṛṇute yáhvo agníḥ | vā́tasya meḷíṃ sacate ni-jū́rvan āśúṃ ná vājayate hinvé árvā ||

Translation

When he has grown among the foods by his burning thirst, the impetuous Agni makes himself a thirsty messenger. He joins the onrush of the Wind; pressing forward, he drives like a swift steed for the winning of plenitude.
