बृहद् वयो हि भानवे ऽर्चा देवायाग्नये । यम् मित्रं न प्रशस्तिभिर् मर्तासो दधिरे पुरः ॥
bṛhad vayo hi bhānave 'rcā devāyāgnaye | yam mitraṃ na praśastibhir martāso dadhire puraḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Great power is in the beam of light, sing praise to, Agni, to the God Whom men have set in foremost place like Mitra with their eulogies.
