RV 8.19.23

यदी घृतेभिर् आहुतो वाशीम् अग्निर् भरत उच् चाव च । असुर इव निर्णिजम् ॥

yadī ghṛtebhir āhuto vāśīm agnir bharata uc cāva ca | asura iva nirṇijam ||

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

While, served with sacrificial oil, now upward and now downward Agni moves his sword, As doth the Asura his robe.
