Rig Veda 1.31.15

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

तवमग्ने परयतदक्षिणं नरं वर्मेव सयूतं परि पासि विश्वतः | सवादुक्षद्मा यो वसतौ सयोनक्र्ज्जीवयाजं यजते सोपमा दिवः

IAST Romanisation

tvamaghne prayatadakṣiṇaṃ naraṃ varmeva syūtaṃ pari pāsi viśvataḥ | svādukṣadmā yo vasatau syonakṛjjīvayājaṃ yajate sopamā divaḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Agni, the man who giveth guerdon to the priests, like well-sewn armour thou guardest on every side. He who with grateful food shows kindness in his house, an offerer to the living, is the type of heaven.
