AVŚ 13.3.23

त्वम् अग्ने क्रतुभिः केतुभिर् हितो ऽर्कः समिद्ध उद् अरोचथा दिवि । किम् अभ्य् आर्चन् मरुतः पृश्निमातरो यद् रोहितम् अजनयन्त देवाः । तस्य देवस्य क्रुद्धस्यैतद् आगो य एवं विद्वांसं ब्राह्मणं जिनाति ।

tvam agne kratubhiḥ ketubhir hito 'rkaḥ samiddha ud arocathā divi | kim abhy ārcan marutaḥ pṛśnimātaro yad rohitam ajanayanta devāḥ | tasya devasya kruddhasyaitad āgo ya evaṃ vidvāṃsaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ jināti |

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Thou, O Agni, impelled by powers (krátu), by lights (ketú), didst shine up, a kindled song (? arká) in the sky; unto what did the Maruts, having the spotted one for mother, sing, when the gods generated the ruddy one?—Against that god etc. etc.
