Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.44.3

RV 1.44.3

अद्या दूतं वृणीमहे वसुम् अग्निम् पुरुप्रियम् । धूमकेतुम् भाऋजीकं व्युष्टिषु यज्ञानाम् अध्वरश्रियम् ॥

adyā dūtaṃ vṛṇīmahe vasum agnim purupriyam | dhūmaketum bhāṛjīkaṃ vyuṣṭiṣu yajñānām adhvaraśriyam ||

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

As messenger we choose to-day Agni the good whom many love, Smoke-bannered spreader of the light, at break of day glory of sacrificial rites.
