Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.12.1

RV 5.12.1

प्राग्नये बृहते यज्ञियाय ऋतस्य वृष्णे असुराय मन्म । घृतं न यज्ञ आस्ये सुपूतं गिरम् भरे वृषभाय प्रतीचीम् ॥

prāgnaye bṛhate yajñiyāya ṛtasya vṛṣṇe asurāya manma | ghṛtaṃ na yajña āsye supūtaṃ giram bhare vṛṣabhāya pratīcīm ||

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

To Agni, lofty Asura, meet for worship, Steer of eternal Law, my prayer I offer; I bring my song directed to the Mighty like pure oil for his mouth at sacrifices.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
