RV 1.31.1

त्वम् अग्ने प्रथमो अङ्गिरा ऋषिर् देवो देवानाम् अभवः शिवः सखा । तव व्रते कवयो विद्मनापसो ऽजायन्त मरुतो भ्राजदृष्टयः ॥

tvam agne prathamo aṅgirā ṛṣir devo devānām abhavaḥ śivaḥ sakhā | tava vrate kavayo vidmanāpaso 'jāyanta maruto bhrājadṛṣṭayaḥ ||

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

Thou, Agni, wast the earliest Angiras, a Seer; thou wast, a God thyself, the Gods' auspicious Friend. After thy holy ordinance the Maruts, sage, active through wisdom, with their glittering spears, were born.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
