aghnim achā devayatām manāṃsi cakṣūṃṣīva sūrye saṃ caranti | yad īṃ suvāte uṣasā virūpe śveto vājī jāyate aghre ahnām

The spirits of the pious turn together to Agni, as the eyes of all to Sūrya. He, when both Dawns of different hues have borne him, springs up at daybreak as a strong white charger.
