Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 3.20.4

RV 3.20.4

अग्निर् नेता भग इव क्षितीनां दैवीनां देव ऋतुपा ऋतावा । स वृत्रहा सनयो विश्ववेदाः पर्षद् विश्वाति दुरिता गृणन्तम् ॥

agnir netā bhaga iva kṣitīnāṃ daivīnāṃ deva ṛtupā ṛtāvā | sa vṛtrahā sanayo viśvavedāḥ parṣad viśvāti duritā gṛṇantam ||

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

Agni, like Bhaga, leads the godly people, he who is true to Law and guards the seasons. Ancient, all-knowing, he the Vrtra-slayer shall bear the singer safe through every trouble.
