RV 1.31.11

त्वाम् अग्ने प्रथमम् आयुम् आयवे देवा अकृण्वन् नहुषस्य विश्पतिम् । इळाम् अकृण्वन् मनुषस्य शासनीम् पितुर् यत् पुत्रो ममकस्य जायते ॥

tvām agne prathamam āyum āyave devā akṛṇvan nahuṣasya viśpatim | iḷām akṛṇvan manuṣasya śāsanīm pitur yat putro mamakasya jāyate ||

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

Thee, Agni, have the Gods made the first living One for living man, Lord of the house of Nahusa. Ila they made the teacher of the sons of men, what time a Son was born to the father of my race.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
