How, O Agni, have the pure ones of Āyu made offering to you, striving eagerly with prizes, when, gaining both (kinds of) offspring, child and descendant, the gods took delight in the chant of ṛta?

How, Agni, have the radiant ones, aspiring, endued thee with the vigour of the living, So that on both sides fostering seed and offspring, the Gods may joy in Holy Law's fulfilment?

RV 1 147.2
बोधा मे अस्य वचसो यविष्ठ मꣳहिष्ठस्य प्रभृतस्य स्वधावः । पीयति त्वो अनु त्वो गृणाति वन्दारुस् ते तन्वꣳ वन्दे अग्ने
bodhā me asya vacaso yaviṣṭha maṁhiṣṭhasya prabhṛtasya svadhāvaḥ | pīyati tvo anu tvo gṛṇāti vandārus te tanvaṁ vande agne
Take heed of this speech of mine, O youngest one, of this most liberal (speech) brought forward, O you of independent power. One man reviles, another sings praise: praising, I praise your body, Agni.
