RV 3.5.1

प्रत्य् अग्निर् उषसश् चेकितानो ऽबोधि विप्रः पदवीः कवीनाम् । पृथुपाजा देवयद्भिः समिद्धो ऽप द्वारा तमसो वह्निर् आवः ॥

praty agnir uṣasaś cekitāno 'bodhi vipraḥ padavīḥ kavīnām | pṛthupājā devayadbhiḥ samiddho 'pa dvārā tamaso vahnir āvaḥ ||

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

Agni who shines against the Dawns is wakened. The holy Singer who precedes the sages. With far-spread lustre, kindled by the pious, the Priest hath thrown both gates of darkness open.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
