Rig Veda 10.88.8

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

सूक्तवकं परथममादिदग्निमादिद धविरजनयन्तदेवाः | स एषां यज्ञो अभवत तनूपस्तं दयौर्वेदतं परिथिवि तमापः

IAST Romanisation

sūktavakaṃ prathamamādidaghnimādid dhavirajanayantadevāḥ | sa eṣāṃ yajño abhavat tanūpastaṃ dyaurvedataṃ prithivi tamāpaḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

First the Gods brought the hymnal into being; then they engendered Agni, then oblation. He was their sacrifice that guards our bodies: him the heavens know, the earth, the waters know him.
