avardhayan subhaghaṃ sapta yahvīḥ śvetaṃ jajñānamaruṣammahitvā | śiśuṃ na jātamabhyāruraśvā devāso aghniṃjaniman vapuṣyan

Him, Blessed One, the Seven strong Floods augmented, him white at birth and red when waxen mighty. As mother mares run to their new-born you ling, so at his birth the Gods wondered at Agni.
