Sukta 10.79
यो अस्मा अन्नं तृष्वादधात्याज्यैर्घृतैर्जुहोति पुष्यति । तस्मै सहस्रमक्षभिर्वि चक्षेऽग्ने विश्वतः प्रत्यङ्ङसि त्वम् ॥
yó asmai ánnaṁ tṛṣú ā́dadhāty ā́jyair ghṛtáir juhóti púṣyati | tásmai sahásram ákṣabhir ví cakṣe ’gne viśvátas prátyaṅ asi tvám ||
Who places food for him in the threefold (supports), who offers with clarified ghee and nourishes—toward him you look with a thousand eyes, O Agni; from every side you are turned. (Inner sense) Whoever establishes the sustaining substance in the triple foundation of the being and feeds the flame with luminous oblation, for him the divine Will opens an all-around vision: Agni becomes the many-eyed awareness, turning from all directions to protect and guide the work.
