Rig Veda 4.15

agnir hotā no adhvare vājī san pari ṇīyate devo deveṣu yajñiyaḥ

Agni the Herald, like a horse, is led forth at our solemn rite, God among Gods adorable.

pari triviṣṭy adhvaraṃ yāty agnī rathīr iva ā deveṣu prayo dadhat

Three times unto our solemn rite comes Agni like a charioteer, Bearing the viands to the Gods.

pari vājapatiḥ kavir agnir havyāny akramīt dadhad ratnāni dāśuṣe

Round the oblations hath he paced, Agni the Wise, the Lord of Strength, Giving the offerer precious boons.

ayaṃ yaḥ sṛñjaye puro daivavāte samidhyate dyumāṁ amitradambhanaḥ

He who is kindled eastward for Srinjaya, Devavata's son, Resplendent, tamer of the foe.

asya ghā vīra īvato 'gner īśīta martyaḥ tigmajambhasya mīﾱhuṣaḥ

So mighty be the Agni whom the mortal hero shall command, With sharpened teeth and bountiful.

This verse is not included in this edition.

Day after day they dress him, as they clean a horse who wins the prize. Dress the red Scion of the Sky.

bodhad yan mā haribhyāṃ kumāraḥ sāhadevyaḥ acchā na hūta ud aram

When Sahadeva's princely son with two bay horses thought of me, Summoned by him I drew not back.

uta tyā yajatā harī kumārāt sāhadevyāt prayatā sadya ā dade

And truly those two noble bays I straightway took when offered me, From Sahadeva's princely son.

eṣa vāṃ devāv aśvinā kumāraḥ sāhadevyaḥ dīrghāyur astu somakaḥ

Long, O ye Asvins, may he live, your care, ye Gods, the princely son. Of Sahadeva, Somaka.

taṃ yuvaṃ devāv aśvinā kumāraṃ sāhadevyam dīrghāyuṣaṃ kṛṇotana

Cause him the youthful prince, the son of Sahadeva, to enjoy Long life, O Asvins, O ye Gods.
