Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 13.2.46

abódh y agníḥ samídhā jánānāṃ práti dhénum-ivāyátīm uṣā́sām | yahvā́ iva prá vayā́m ujjíhānāḥ prá bhā́navas sisrate nā́kam áccha

Awakened is Agni by the kindling of men, to meet the Dawn that cometh on like a milch-cow. Like eager birds, uplifting tongues, his beams stream forth, onward toward heaven.

Nhờ củi nhóm của loài người, Agni (Agní) đã thức dậy, để đón Uṣas (Bình minh) đang tiến đến như bò sữa. Như bầy chim nôn nóng, Ngài nâng cao những “lưỡi” (ngọn lửa); các tia sáng của Ngài tuôn chảy, lao về cõi trời.
