RV 5.8.1

त्वाम् अग्न ऋतायवः सम् ईधिरे प्रत्नम् प्रत्नास ऊतये सहस्कृत । पुरुश्चन्द्रं यजतं विश्वधायसं दमूनसं गृहपतिं वरेण्यम् ॥

tvām agna ṛtāyavaḥ sam īdhire pratnam pratnāsa ūtaye sahaskṛta | puruścandraṃ yajataṃ viśvadhāyasaṃ damūnasaṃ gṛhapatiṃ vareṇyam ||

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

O AGNI urged to strength, the men of old who loved the Law enkindled thee, the Ancient, for their aid, Thee very bright, and holy, nourisher of all, most excellent, the Friend and Master of the home.
