RV 5.3.5

न त्वद् धोता पूर्वो अग्ने यजीयान् न काव्यैः परो अस्ति स्वधावः । विशश् च यस्या अतिथिर् भवासि स यज्ञेन वनवद् देव मर्तान् ॥

na tvad dhotā pūrvo agne yajīyān na kāvyaiḥ paro asti svadhāvaḥ | viśaś ca yasyā atithir bhavāsi sa yajñena vanavad deva martān ||

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

There is no priest more skilled than thou in worship; none Self-sustainer pass thee in wisdom. Ile man within whose house as guest thou dwellest, O God, by sacrifice shall conquer mortals.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
