Rig Veda 10.46.8: Mandala 10, Sukta 46, Mantra 8
Sukta 10.46
प्र जिह्वया भरते वेपो अग्निः प्र वयुनानि चेतसा पृथिव्याः । तमायवः शुचयन्तं पावकं मन्द्रं होतारं दधिरे यजिष्ठम् ॥
prá jihváyā bharate vépo agníḥ prá vayúnāni cétasā pṛthivyā́ḥ | tám ā́yavaḥ śucáyantaṁ pāvakáṁ mandráṁ hótāraṁ dadhire yájiṣṭham ||
With his tongue Agni bears forward the tremor of utterance; with the mind he brings forth the discernments of the earth-nature. Him the seekers set in place—purifying, bright— the rapturous Hotar, most capable of the sacrifice.
