tvāmaghna ādityāsa āsyaṃ tvāṃ jihvāṃ śucayaścakrirekave | tvāṃ rātiṣāco adhvareṣu saścire tve devā haviradantyāhutam

Thee, Agni, have the Ādityas taken as their mouth; the Bright Ones have made thee, O Sage, to be their tongue. They who love offerings cling to thee at solemn rites: by thee the Gods devour the duly offered food.
