Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.8.2

RV 5.8.2

त्वाम् अग्ने अतिथिम् पूर्व्यं विशः शोचिष्केशं गृहपतिं नि षेदिरे । बृहत्केतुम् पुरुरूपं धनस्पृतं सुशर्माणं स्ववसं जरद्विषम् ॥

tvām agne atithim pūrvyaṃ viśaḥ śociṣkeśaṃ gṛhapatiṃ ni ṣedire | bṛhatketum pururūpaṃ dhanaspṛtaṃ suśarmāṇaṃ svavasaṃ jaradviṣam ||

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

Thee, Agni, men have stablished as their guest of old, as Master of the household, thee, with hair of flame; High-bannered, multiform, distributor of wealth, kind helper, good protector, drier of the floods.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
