Rig Veda 5.1.7

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

पर णु तयं विप्रम अध्वरेषु साधुम अग्निं होतारम ईळते नमोभिः | आ यस ततान रोदसी रतेन नित्यम मर्जन्ति वाजिनं घर्तेन

IAST Romanisation

pra ṇu tyaṃ vipram adhvareṣu sādhum aghniṃ hotāram īḷate namobhiḥ | ā yas tatāna rodasī ṛtena nityam mṛjanti vājinaṃ ghṛtena

English Translation (Griffith)

This Singer excellent at sacrifices, Agni the Priest, they glorify with homage. Him who spread out both worlds by Law Eternal they balm with oil, strong Steed who never faileth. 8. He, worshipful House-Friend, in his home is worshipped, our own auspicious guest, lauded by sages. That strength the Bull with thousand horns possesses. In might, O Agni, thou excellest others.
