Rig Veda
tvām agne haviṣmanto devam martāsa īﾱate manye tvā jātavedasaṃ sa havyā vakṣy ānuṣak
Bearing; oblations mortal men, O Agni, worship thee the God. I deem thee Jatavedas: bear our offerings, thou, unceasingly.
agnir hotā dāsvataḥ kṣayasya vṛktabarhiṣaḥ saṃ yajñāsaś caranti yaṃ saṃ vājāsaḥ śravasyavaḥ
In the man's home who offers gifts, where grass is trimmed, Agni is Priest, To whom all sacrifices come and strengthenings that win renown.

Yea, very hard art thou to grasp, like offspring of the wriggling snakes, When thou consumest many woods like an ox, Agni, in the mead.

Whose flames, when thou art sending forth the smoke, completely reach the mark, When Trita in the height of heaven, like as a smelter fanneth thee, e'en as a smelter sharpeneth thee.
tavāham agna ūtibhir mitrasya ca praśastibhiḥ dveṣoyuto na duritā turyāma martyānām
O Agni, by thy succour and by Mitra's friendly furtherance, May we, averting hate, subdue the wickedness of mortal men.
taṃ no agne abhī naro rayiṃ sahasva ā bhara sa kṣepayat sa poṣayad bhuvad vājasya sātaya utaidhi pṛtsu no vṛdhe
O Agni, to our heroes bring such riches, thou victorious God. May he protect and nourish us, and help in gaining strength: be thou near us in fight for our success.
