Rig Veda 5.11.4: Mandala 5, Sukta 11, Mantra 4
Sukta 5.11
अग्निर्नो यज्ञमुप वेतु साधुयाग्निं नरो वि भरन्ते गृहेगृहे । अग्निर्दूतो अभवद्धव्यवाहनोऽग्निं वृणाना वृणते कविक्रतुम् ॥
agnír no yajñám úpa vetu sādhu-yā́gníṃ náro ví bharante gṛhé-gṛhe | agnír dūtó abhavad havya-vā́hano ’gníṃ vṛṇānā́ vṛṇate kaví-kratum ||
May Agni come to our sacrifice by the good path. Men bear Agni in every home. Agni has become the messenger and the carrier of the offering; choosing Agni, they choose the seer-will, the intelligence that knows how to act.
