RV 1.31.3

त्वम् अग्ने प्रथमो मातरिश्वन आविर् भव सुक्रतूया विवस्वते । अरेजेतां रोदसी होतृवूर्ये ऽसघ्नोर् भारम् अयजो महो वसो ॥

tvam agne prathamo mātariśvana āvir bhava sukratūyā vivasvate | arejetāṃ rodasī hotṛvūrye 'saghnor bhāram ayajo maho vaso ||

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

To Matarisvan first thou, Agni, wast disclosed, and to Vivasvan through thy noble inward power. Heaven and Earth, Vasu! shook at the choosing of the Priest: the burthen thou didst bear, didst worship mighty Gods.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
