RV 1.59.2

मूर्धा दिवो नाभिर् अग्निः पृथिव्या अथाभवद् अरती रोदस्योः । तं त्वा देवासो ऽजनयन्त देवं वैश्वानर ज्योतिर् इद् आर्याय ॥

mūrdhā divo nābhir agniḥ pṛthivyā athābhavad aratī rodasyoḥ | taṃ tvā devāso 'janayanta devaṃ vaiśvānara jyotir id āryāya ||

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

The forehead of the sky, earth's centre, Agni became the messenger of earth and heaven. Vaisvanara, the Deities produced thee, a God, to be a light unto the Arya.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
