Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.70.3

RV 10.70.3

शश्वत्तमम् ईळते दूत्याय हविष्मन्तो मनुष्यासो अग्निम् । वहिष्ठैर् अश्वैः सुवृता रथेना देवान् वक्षि नि षदेह होता ॥

śaśvattamam īḷate dūtyāya haviṣmanto manuṣyāso agnim | vahiṣṭhair aśvaiḥ suvṛtā rathenā devān vakṣi ni ṣadeha hotā ||

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

Men with oblations laud most constant Agni, and pray him to perform an envoy's duty. With lightly-rolling car and best draught-horses, bring the Gods hither and sit down as Hotar.
