Rig Veda 2.4.3: Mandala 2, Sukta 4, Mantra 3
Sukta 2.4
अग्निं देवासो मानुषीषु विक्षु प्रियं धुः क्षेष्यन्तो न मित्रम् । स दीदयदुशतीरूर्म्या आ दक्षाय्यो यो दास्वते दम आ ॥
agníṃ devā́so mā́nuṣīṣu vikṣú priyaṃ dhuḥ kṣeṣyánto ná mítram | sá dīdayad uśatī́r ū́rmyā ā́ dakṣā́yyo yó dā́svate dámē ā́ ||
The Gods placed Agni, their beloved, among the human clans, as one fosters a friend like Mitra. He shines forth with waves of eager delight; he who is to be increased by skill comes to the giver in the home.
