tvamaghne manave dyāmavāśayaḥ purūravase sukṛte sukṛttaraḥ | śvātreṇa yat pitrormucyase paryā tvā pūrvamanayannāparaṃ punaḥ

Agni thou madest heaven to thunder for mankind; thou, yet more pious, for pious Purūravas. When thou art rapidly freed from thy parents, first eastward they bear thee round, and, after, to the west.
