Sukta 1.71
मा नो अग्ने सख्या पित्र्याणि प्र मर्षिष्ठा अभि विदुष्कविः सन् । नभो न रूपं जरिमा मिनाति पुरा तस्या अभिशस्तेरधीहि ॥
mā́ no agne sakhyā́ pitryā́ṇi prá marṣiṣṭhā abhí vidúṣ kavíḥ sán | nábho ná rūpáṃ jarimā́ mināti purā́ tasyā abhíśaster ádhīhi ||
O Agni, do not neglect our ancestral friendships; being the seer who knows, be wholly attentive to us. As age does not mar the form of the sky, so may no wasting diminish us; before that assault of hostile speech, stand over us and protect.
