Rig Veda 5.16.2: Mandala 5, Sukta 16, Mantra 2
Sukta 5.16
स हि द्युभिर्जनानां होता दक्षस्य बाह्वोः । वि हव्यमग्निरानुषग्भगो न वारमृण्वति ॥
sá hí dyúbhir jánānāṃ hótā dákṣasya bāhvóḥ | ví havíyam agnír ānuṣág bhágo ná vā́ram ṛṇvati ||
For he, with the shining powers, is the priest of the peoples, in the arms of skill and effective intelligence. Agni distributes the offering in due succession, like Bhaga opening the desirable enclosure—releasing the portion of delight and plenitude.
